Ignore it if issued by a private company, which 'Parking Solutions 24' are. They can't fine anyone legally.
The registered keeper can just ignore the 'ticket' 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.
There was no contract between you and the PPC as they don't own the land, have made no loss. These companies just issue speculative invoices desssed up to look like parking tickets, which they are NOT.
Tick off the threatening letters here.
Watchdog clip with expert Solicitor's opinion here.
This week's 'Watchdog Daily' here (2 or 3 updates & info during the programme!).
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. It's like deleting obvious phishing emails from your 'Bank'; it's a very similar con based on impersonation of authority.
DID I SAY DO NOT PAY?!!!!!!!!!!PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

That made me chuckle, an unwanted parking ticket, is there a wanted one then ? Lol , just follow coupon's advice aboveExcel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?0 -
Rather than appealing, you should put a rocket up the Hospital management for their complete failure to meet their duties to the Equality Act! :mad:0
