    Its not a fine, its a penalty charge.

    Post on the Motoring, parking fines section and they will best advise.

    Suffice to say you dont have to pay.

    Please don't communicate further with them unless you are not the RK of the van, ukcps is well known on here and it's advised not to divulge any further details as Peter Haswell their office manager lurks here, don't you petey boy ? ;) the advice of ignore is a proven tactic that works.
    Excel 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?

    THEIR next move is to provide you with a POPLA verification code for the independent appeal. Demand that they provide the code by return (unless this was in Scotland).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
