CPPlus and Glasgow hospitals parking

Options
I received a parking ticket from this lot and my neighbour said they are illegal in the UK as only the police or councils can enforce traffic tickets.

He said I probably will receive threatening letters but just bin them as they will not take you to court,only want to scare you into paying them.

Is this true ?

thanks in advance

    Your neighbour is correct. Just keep ignoring.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
  • i thought parking at glasgow hospitals was free

    i could be wrong .

    like the above poster says ignore all letters from them they will get fed up before you do and go away.

    i have had loads of tickets from these con men and they have never got a penny from me and wont be getting any either.

    great shredded and used a hamster bedding

    You would know it was true if you just read the sticky thread at the top before posting. All the letters they send are shown in pics and a Watchdog clip which explains it all. What more info do new posters need?

    Maybe a bit of reassurance, Coupon! :rotfl:Some people still take these farcical charges seriously even if we don't!

    Luckily the OP has a well-informed neighbour. Now they can do their bit by passing the info on to all their friends too.

    Free parking so damages to the NHS would be zero, even if you did park in an area you were not meant to/parked in a disabled bay without displaying a pretty blue badge/park 1mm over the line.

    Ingore CP Plus, they are clowns and the word is spreading
