I have no choice but to park there if I cant park outside the hospital and as work 12.5 hrs exceeding 4 hrs max stay . Therfore 2 tickets !! Ignored the previous tickets now have received 2 letters from Debt recovery plus ltd , threatening debt recovery charges and late payment. They also asked if I was disputing I was the driver and asked for driver details and advised to contact a lawyer. I feel I need to ignore these too, however i dont want to pay more or charges and affect my credit rating. I'm so angry as patients and parents get this rubbish as well !! Any advise please ?:(
Seconded, ignore it all and read the sticky threads on the link provided a few times by Oopsadaisy(!).
The DRP letter-chain is on the top thread in pictures so you can see where you are with the scamograms.
There's also a Watchdog clip on the thread called 'welcome, please read before posting'.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

so - months down the line and today a letter has arrived from Zenith collections offering a reduced settlement figure of £49.99 if settled within 14 days.
I presume the advice is still ignore.
Do many people actually pay these fines - I do hope not.0 -

Yes, still ignore.
I don't think many people on MSE pay them but generally when people see a ticket on their car or receive a letter through the post they think it has legal weight and pay up without a second thought. Only a small majority will think "this isn't right" and will google it. But word is spreading."You should know not to believe everything in media & polls by now !"

The final "look we know your not going to be fooled into paying the full fee, so we will give you one last offer to try and fool you into paying before we hit you with late payment charges" letter. Carry on ignoring.0

Is using Zenith instead of DRP and the £49.99 charge a new ploy to dodge the search engines?0
