Did you get the rejection letter and was there a POPLA code offered with it?

Email received. You have another PM, by the way and I'll respond to your email in more detail later today.

I got a parking fine, PCN from Legion Group for parking on private land. After researching up on the company and other's past experiences with legion parking tickets i decided to ignore their letters and not pay the fine.

Not only was i taken to court for the parking charge notice that was unpaid, a friend of mine parked in a different car park was also taken to court after she ignored the fine from Legion also (she ignored the fine after i gave her poor advice to do the same as me)

This parking charge notice cost me a lot more having appeared in court and in hindsight i would have just payed the reduced fine cost straight away.

I thought people always got away with private parking charges but it seems as this company Legion doesn't like to let you get away with it.

I WOULD ADVISE EVERY ONE TO ALWAYS PAY PARKING FINES FROM LEGION.

Good question. Short answer. No!
There won't be any court action or any other action, apart from a few letters. Unless someone knows different.

This is bad advice, i ignored the letters from legion group when they issued me with a parking charge notice - i was taken to court and ended up paying lots more than the cost of the fine. A friend of mine parked in a different car park was also taken to court for the fine

No but Legion mention the Council because that's what they want victims to think. It's still a fake PCN.


And this bit is funnnnnny!!!:rotfl:


''However under the data protection act if a payment is received the charge notice recinded or once the case has been resolved through the courts your details will be removed immediately from our database."

Errrrr...right!

Is this about a ticket from Feb 2012?

Your "research" is seriously flawed then as you could easily ignore them back then but the situation is quite different now!

And once again - that word "ADVICE", amazing how often it crops-up in posts from negative posters!

And why would you not advise them to appeal and take the case to POPLA then?

I say research but i mean in the form of other peoples past experiences which i found every one to say just not to bother with Legion parking fines. i know the laws have changed however i didn't see anyone else with the experience of being taken to court by Legion Group.

I guess they have changed how they oporate and pursue in collecting the fines.

if you have no grounds for appeal and are just ignoring the fine because of it being a parking charge notice is what i am talking about here.
