Tope Security Rangers and Frontline debt

Hi
I have searched and can't see these companies on there, nor can I see any letters that seem to go as far as these.
Scenario: I paid every month £47 to park in a private car park, one month I missed the monthly payment by 3 days and so got a ticket, I called and they said don't worry we'll cancel. Since I have paid the monthly (including the missed month) without problem. (Although I have now changed jobs so don't use it anymore).
They sent some reminders to pay the ticket I got and I have ignored them as a result of reading this website, now however I have had letters from a debt collectors who have also rung, again I have ignored as a result of the very helpful people here, however yesterday I received one saying it will be passed to a self employed baliff who will come round in the next 14 days.
Now getting worried as it will be my wife at home and not me and don't really want any hassle.
Any thoughts?

They can not send a bailiff. A bailiff can only act on a court warrant, its all part of the scam no one will come in 14 days or ever. Even then if they did just tell them to !!!! off!0

Presumably you mean Top Security Rangers? I've not come across Frontline Debt before, could it be Frontline Collections?
The fact that these companies do not appear in the stickies doesn't in any way change the advice. Ignore them and as for the debt collectors tell them that the debt is denied and that any further calls will be regarded as harassment.
You suggest that the letters seem to go someway further than other companies. Could you let us know in what way?
Additionally, as neither of these companies figure currently in the stickies would you care to scan them in, wash them of your personal details, bar codes etc and post them up?My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
Thank you both.
It is Frontline collections, apologies. I have got the last letter but as I'm moving house (and people are round helping pack) I didn't keep the others I don't think. I will scan the last letter tonight and get it up on here.
The only way they went further is by saying that a baliff will be round in 14 days which I couldn't see on any other letters, they all seemed to say court action would be taken.
Shall I call frontline and tell them there is no debt or is it better to have no contact?0 -

Better to ignore them as contact encourages them!0
