TCP parking fine

jacqueline9

I recently overstayed the parking time in Asda Arnold Nottingham.


I have received a letter from TCP with a £60 fine or £30 if paid within

28 days. ( They use number plate rec. cameras )

There is a threat of possible court action if ignored.

Is this LEGAL and should I pay or ignore ???

:mad:

And it's not a FINE, it's an unenforceable invoice.

Please use normal fonts and colour, gave me a headache reading that

And ignore the scammers, they will send you junk mail a 4 or 5 times, then it will stop as they look for another victim to scam money out of.

Wow that red is an offensive colour, both in footballing terms and on here!

Anyway, as long as you are not a ManUtd (or Cr***a* Palace) fan, don't even think about paying this scam charge! :mad:

Read the top thread here for pictures of the letters to expect and ignore:

Also on that clip you will see a solicitor on Watchdog explain what to do. It's easy to ignore this sca, I have done so once and kept the letters to show others all about it. Nothing happens, they can't send the boys round or just applt for a CCJ or affect your credit rating in any way.

Think of ignoring the letters as similar to deleting phishing emails - same sort of scam only by mail.

a complicated scam that impersonates authority backed up with threats.
Most fall for it.
IGNORE 100%
They will go away eventually.
Beware their impersonation changes characters to debt collectors, solicitors and Snow white and the seven dwarfs if it will help them scam your money.

My Advice is to get all the shopping take it back and demand a full refund and explain to them this is what happens when you try to scam money out of people shopping in your store.
Dont take any waffle about it not been their fault, yes it is their fault, it's their car park.

Simple instructions:

1. Do not pay.
2. Ignore all correspondence
3. Shop somewhere else in future.

It's as easy as 1-2-3, Jacqueline!

I fine you the same amount for using such a horrible font size and colour!

And I have exactly the same "right" to fine you and demand payment as those scammers do.

and dont forget that your under house arrest, must surrender your passport in case you abscond abroad and beat yourself with a whip three times daily

Oh my god, you over-stayed your welcome at Asda, a crime punishable by being sent lots of threatening letters demanding even more silly sums of money, where the chance it going to court is the same as Man City being relegated this year.

Ignore TCP, and if you can ignore that Asda, and tell your friends, family & work colleagues to do the same.
