thanks for your replies, however I have just found a letter sent to all NBT employees saying this
it has been suggested that quite a number of people have been told by colleagues not to pay because the system is not enforceable.
I am writing now o confirm that the system is enforceable and this letter stands to remind you of that fact and also that the rules of the policy are clear about parking and the consequences of not following the rules.
Please do not be under any illusion that the system is not enforceable. it is, and is successfully operated in other places with the ultimate potential for individuals to have payment pursued though the small claims court.
this came form the Director of Facilities a chap by the name of Simon Wood.

Write to this Simon Wood and invite him to visit here and make that same claim.

Listen this is a third party company and has sod all to do with the hospital, these penalties being charged are not enforceable, if this charge comes after 1st October then apcoa because they turned your appeal down must give you a popla code to take this to them. This is the code of practice by the bpa that they must abide by. The best option is to ignore it

Write to Simon Wood and ask him to quote under what legislation these invoices are enforceable under?

They would say that, wouldn't they?! :rotfl:

He also made a faux pas by admitting in the local paper that these are 'penalties'! = unlawful and unenforceable!!!

I also found his name to be familiar, this Simon Wood. Recalled a thread from pepipoo so here it is (notjing happened except letters of course):

A few thousand people every year come here and to pepipoo forums for advice and everyone ignores a private parking ticket.

Like all the other posters on this board, you have a fake PCN.

The registered keeper must just ignore it and ignore the other letters that will arrive. The letters are easy to ignore and laugh at, when they arrive at the address of someone who knows it's all hogwash and not a real parking ticket at all.

The whole scam of fake PCNs relies firstly on people's ignorance of the fact that a random private company can't fine anyone, and secondly on their natural fear of parking tickets and the escalating costs/bailiff scenario. So PPCs copy the look of a real parking ticket and - hey presto! - the cash rolls in from victims who know no better.

There is no fine, no CCJ, no bailiff, no debt, no effect on credit rating, no Court, no repercussions at all from a pathetic, unenforceable fake PCN (= invoice) issued by a random third party.

Tick off the threatening letters here.

Watchdog clip with expert Solicitor's opinion here.

Barrister's opinion - read the answer at the bottom, it's very clear! - here.

So I recommend from now on that you just play snap with the threatograms from debt collectors - choose to ignore and laugh at the scammer and their attempt to extort money. As I said, it's like deleting obvious phishing emails from your 'Bank'; a very similar con based on impersonation of authority.

DO NOT PAY!!!!
