    Even if they do nothing will happen. Don't be scared by the words "debt collector". They are not bailiffs. They are just private citizens with no special powers, they cannot enter your property, they cannot seize goods and the cannot blacken your credit record. Just keep ignoring.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    Yes, "debt collectors" are powerless nobodies, particularly the ones the parking companies use. They only write two or three asinine letters, and make a nuisance phone call if they know your number. They can easily be ignored whereupon they go away. Nothing to be worried about, like the parking scammers themselves they are not official in any way. This is so even if they have a bailiff section. Bailiffs can do NOTHING unless and until a matter goes to court and that will NOT happen.

    So what if they do?

    Have a look at the example debt collector letters on the thread near the top of the forum called 'PPC letters & threats'. That's all this scam is about. Letters!

    We have all ignored at least one fake PCN on here. It is NOTHING AT ALL! :)
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
