PPS's first letter...& being very naughty!

Hey lovely moneysavers!
Got my first letter (complete with pictures of my car...looking good!) from PPS after my alleged overstay of 20mins, equating to all of less than 30p by their tariff. Now wanting me to pay £130 (or £132.50 if paying by a debit card!). Not bothered, going to sit it out.
If they want to go further then I will send them 30p taped to a letter along the lines of full and final settlement, and any futher comms = harrasment etc. I dont think i'd put a stamp on it either, just so they can pay some more.:D
Just to make me feel a bit better, after parking in same carpark last week and paying more than i needed (so in effect i paid for the 20mins i overstayed last time, not that it counts apparently!), i walked out to see this:
did look when i returned to see if anyone had been left a present on their windscreen from these scammers to point them in this direction, but dont think they had been too successful. Just amazes me that they parked on double yellows outside the car park!!!

I got another one this week as well but not as pretty as yours; mine was a handwritten piece of cr~p under my windscreen wiper. How I laughed! :rotfl:
Good for you, sounds like you have read the forum stickies and know about the letters to ignore.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD0 -
unfortunately Coupon_mad, im not as sensible...i got the handwritten note back in april (or some time around then) and came on here with the usual 'oh my god this has never happened before' and thanks to this forum, im confident in ignoring it. In fact, i was looking forward to the letters, except now they seemed to have changed their letters (this one is different to the one in the sticky) so will be scanning the new one and sending it to crabman to update that thread
