Nice try PPS but you're not fooling us ..""admissions" ..so that will be drivers who folded and paid prior to any proceedings ...so out of the 42 how many were real CCJs and how many were "admissions" ?

(I think I could make an educated guess )

None of the "references" they have quoted are court case references.

Thanks for your reply. I went on their website, and the only thing that got me a bit worried was this -

''With regards to our ongoing enforcement services against those drivers who do not pay their outstanding Parking Charge Notices (PCNs), PPS have just obtained a number of County Court judgements and admissions in the following cases:''

They list about 42 cases.

Is this just more scaremongering?

Yes it's scaremongering. If you look at any PPC that operates enforcement you'll see they're all proudly boasting of success at court. Several of them also claiming to be the very first to achieve this too even though that would be impossible.

There have been a few PPC cases that have been won and at the moment the general consensus is that they're faked cases where the PPC have taken someone they know to court with the full intention of the defendant loosing so that they can claim a win.

The only PPC which doesn't claim to have success in court is oddly NCP even though they do issue PCNs. They don't even advertise enforcement on their website and they are known for not doing court.

So in short, forget about the invoice you've been sent. It holds very little ground in legal circles.

I too have recently received a 'PCN' from Premier Park in the Exeter area, and having looked at a number of different sites, have come to the conclusion that I shall be ignoring any and all correspondence that I receive from them.

The general advice seems to be sit tight, respond to nothing they send and act as if it never happened!

I'll tell you how I get on.

You needn't bother to tell us how you get on. We already know what will happen.

Pay up immediately...I know someone who ignored and do you know what happened??? Nothing.

As expected, nothing has happened for 3 months - no threatening letters, not a jot

who would have thought..
That the answer to the question of how many have they sued would be the same as the answer to the ultimate question in the universe

silly us for not working it out...

Nonsense. It's good that people report back to prove to people that ignoring works. Although you and I know that, new posters don't, and this is good reassurance.

Thanks for the update!
