    As long as it it is a private company and not council, then just ignore everything they send you.

    Emails? What do you mean you have been reading emails?

    You need to read the sticky info threads at the top of the forum:

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=163

    Read PPC letters, what to expect' and also 'welcome, please read before posting'.

    Once you have read those and seen the Watchdog video and taken in what the Watchdog solicitor says about a fake PCN with a picture of a car on it (just like yours) do come back if you still actually have any questions.

    These fake PCN scams are easy to ignore but you MUST read the two threads mentioned, and watch the clip.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
