New Generation Parking "Fine"

evothegreat

I recieved a letter from NGP last Saturday. It stated I had been caught "parking" where I shouldnt have been. My issue is - I was never actually parked, I drove into the carpark, there were no spaces and a car infront of me, so I got out of the car and ran into the bank - my sister got into the driving seat (she's legal to drive my car) drove around the car park came back down and I was there and off we went. Now me or my sister dont remember seeing any signs, and my friend has said its a scam and to ignore it. After reading a few other posts this does seem to be the case, but Im just worried its gonna end up more trouble than its worth, and more than I can afford.:wall:

Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Yes. Your friend is correct.

It IS a scam, and legally they don't have a case. Just ignore all of the scary paperwork, and eventually they will give up and go away.

Yes, its all bollox, and theres nothing they can do to make you pay anything. Ignore them and all the toothless threatograms they will send you.

Echoing what everyone else said - don't pay this! :eek:
Private parking companies cannot fine people and nothing will happen. It's an impersonation of authority - a fake PCN.

I am just an ordinary law abiding Mum with a mortgage, a clean credit record and a job that requires an enhanced CRB check (as does my husband's job). I laughed when I got one of these fake PCNs 4 years ago and was very pleased to waste their postage when I got the usual debt collector letters. I would happily collect more.

A private company cannot affect your credit record without a credit agreement (shouldn't think you signed a credit agreement to this bunch of chancers while you were there?!). Without that they would need to achieve the small matter of winning in Court by convincing a judge that you owe them money.

They can't and they won't affect your credit rating and they can't and they won't send the boys round. This will not even make a dent on a penny in your pocket. Do not take it seriously at all; do not respond to the letters in the absence of real sealed Court papers - which will not come. It's all just threats.


NOTHING HAPPENS EXCEPT LETTERS - WE EVEN HAVE PREVIEW PICS OF EACH LETTER IN THE 3RD FROM TOP THREAD 'PPC LETTERS & THREATS'.

THIS IS A SCAM AND IS SOOO EASY FOR YOU TO IGNORE!
