Civil Enforcement Ltd PCN

Hello everyone.

My car was gifted one of these the other day in a Coop car park and was initially taken in, thinking it was a Local Authority fine. After finding this forum, I feel a lot better about not paying and ignoring the Enforcement Notice.

Nothing more to add really, but it has been a huge help to see what I will be expecting over the next few months.

    Good for you.
    You have nothing to worry about from this outfit whatsoever.
    Be aware & prepared that CEL have changed their tactics recently by sending out completed but unstamped/unsealed County Court claim forms in an attempt to tighten the screw of intimidation & harassment.
  • I received a fine from civil enforcement ltd few months ago and after reading few forums on the net ive decided to ignore them. but today I've received a letter from them sayin that they intend to take the matter to Northampton County Courts. they say they wud send their claims to the court on 25th november and once judgement is obtained they wud seize my vehicle/ goods and many other things they can possibly do...

    shud i continue to ignore them?

    the claim form attached looks fake to me... i went on to Hermajesty government website to see the blank claim form (N1 claim form) which the layout they used in this letter i received. The main british emblem is missing on this letter and there is no claim number and issue date. Few bits in the form looks blurred (like scanned and pasted into the document)...

    I am thinking to go to British citizenship bureau to discuss the issue. what shall i do?

    do reply

    thanks

    If you mean the Citizens' Advice Bureau, DO NOT BOTHER. Complete waste of time.

    They do not understand this scam at local level branches. They will just look on their screen and see some basic info saying there's a contract between the driver and the PPC. Guess who wrote that basic info? The private parking companies did!!!

    There is no 'contract' there is no 'fine' there will be no real Court case, no bailiff, no CCJ, nothing. Please stop randomly posting on every thread and just read the current forum threads without jumping to post on them all!

    And earlier I gave you a link to a thread where you can see that your letter is just another threat that other people get too. CE have just changed their letter and made it even more misleading than ever. But - it's only another letter in the chain.

    Report them as you have already been advised to do, and ignore them.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
