    Thanks so much for this great advice on here. Just got a £90 ticket from private car park (UKPC) in a small retail park in Wrexham - which is free parking. I made a purchase in one of the shops on the retail park then popped across the road to some other shops to complete my shopping and when I returned £90!! parking charge for 'leaving the site' (£50 if pay in 28 days). Notices say parking charges 'may' apply if you leave the site. I was so depressed and sickened as such a ridiculous charge - just for going to the shops across the road after using the shop on the retail park. After finding this thread and armed with this information I'm going to stand firm and ignore all letters. Thanks for the great information and support - you are doing a fantastic job. I'm in this with you Ellie P!

    just watched martin lewis on this morning with phil and holly,
    again he says not to pay invoices from private companies only police and council can issue fines, i also received invoice from ukpcin november and after 5 letters last one in april not heard anything from them since(i have moved house though but have had my mail redirected) not paying anyway so they can send as many as they like, i love browsing this forum:)
  • Hi,

    3rd letter waiting for me when I returned from holiday. Again I felt a flutter of nerves and questioned if I'm doing the right thing ignoring these letters but a quick visit here has calmed my nerves and I will stay strong.

    Thanks again for all the posts and advice.
