Thanks

"Dear jjlklkl

As the owner of vehicle blah blah your were written to on the 17/02/2012 and informed of the breach of regulations in which the vehicle was involved.

The breach of regulations concerned are that on the 12/12/2011 the aboce vehicle was parked in the car park, which is a car park provided by Knowsley Met Council and was parked in a permit bay without valid permit.

You are hereby warned that debt recovery and or court action will now be instigated to recover unpaid parking charges unles payment of 40.00 is made immeadiatley.

The instruction of a debt recovery company will incur additional costs, if court action is necessary we will in addition ask the court to make an order requiring you to pay legal costs which we estimate at 40.00. The court may also fine you.

Due to contractual obligations with our client your details will remain on our system for 6 months after this period of time we will remove all personal details from our database. 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."

Should i still ignore???

7878lee, you did not receive a fine you received an invoice.
Please start your own thread if you wish advice. Before you do read the Newbie thread at the top of the page 3 times (it's a magical number that helps win appeals). Then either follow advice there confident in getting this invoice cancelled, or ask a question.

In the meanwhile google PALS and complain to your local one too.

I received a notice from Legion last month at the hospital where I work. To be fair, I was parked on double yellows, because there was nowhere else to park and I was late for a tribunal. I foolishly sent them £45 (I hadn't found this thread at the time), but then got a letter demanding £80. I emailed them to say I had paid, but they said they hadn't received it. They asked where I had sent it, so I replied. I didn't get a reply to that email, but have just had a letter, again demanding £80 and claiming I haven't responded to them! Am I right in thinking that I should continue to ignore them?

It would be better if you started your own thread instead of tagging onto this one which is over a year old.

HELP ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE
like everyone on here I seem to be experiencing the same misfortune., and getting quite fed up now...... right ill keep it brief.
I am a nurse and pay £19.50 mth out of my wages to park on hospital grounds, however there are never any spaces available at the time that my shift is due to start plus the fact they never built enough car parks so spaces are limited. On the day in question I have driven around for 40 mins and still did not find a space, this is where I decided to park in a disabled bay. Not the last one I may add and not close to the hospital.
On my return I was greeted with a parking Notice.....
I ignored it & ignored it & ignored it and the received letter after letter from DWP.
I Ignored these letters as well & Ignored them
and now I have a letter from Zenith Collections who I still believe to be DWP.
they have kindly offered to reduce my fee to £79.99 if I pay in 14 days instead of the £149 that it currently is.
I am fuming and don't see why I should have to pay a bloody fine when I pay nearly £20 mth and cant even get a space then. I wouldn't mind but I have been getting a lift for the last 3 mths so if anything they owe me...

Anyway should I ignore , pay or write a letter of appeal. :mad:

thanks

you should start a new thread of your own then you can get bespoke advice tailored for your own circumstances

think about it , a new patient comes into your practice or hospital , they get a new appointment fresh with a doctor or nurse , they dont get tacked onto another appoinment where somebody else has been describing a similar illness , plus their paperwork isnt mixed in with the previous patient, nor is the medication either as it may be different or a different dosage

you catch my drift ?

use the red NEW THREAD button, top left of this parking sub-forum

thank you

ps:- its not the DWP either , that is the Department for Work and Pensions

Hello Joanne 01


Please can you tell me what happened with your PCN as my daughter is a doctor at the hospital and attending an emergency there she had no alternative but to park on a disabled bay in order to get to the patient quickly and incurred a PCN. I think she should ignore it but I was wondering what you did?
Thank you
Nerina

Joanne hasn't been back since December. I would suggest reading the Newbies thread in this forum and getting your daughter to post here herself.

Second hand information, whilst well meant, can lead to Chinese whispers and bad advice.

I am reading all these suggestions of starting a new thread. I am desperate for advice and would like nothing more than to start my own thread, however I seem unable to? I'm pretty sure all these others couldn't either! And I am completely computer/forum literate, btw!

Go back one page from here (to the forum thread list). Use the 'Back' button ( < ) to navigate there.

Scroll down the page a couple of clicks and you'll see a red oblong button on the left-hand side with 'New Thread' on it.

Press it!
