    So if they can't legally get you, then why are they allowed to do this and get away with it?

    Because it is legal to ask any mug to pay any invoice, it is called freedom.
    I can start the same trick to you for posting on here, £100 should do it.
    Would you send me your home details if i did ?
    Of course you would not.
    So why with these chancers.
    The scam only works on mugs.
    Like ALL scams.
    Be happy...;)

    :beer: back ..... so now I will have to hold on to my nerves, not have a breakdown while receiving their rubbish letters and see if I come out the other side unscathed, with all my hair and fingernails intact.

    To some extent, yes. But any communication with them flags you up as a potential [STRIKE]mug[/STRIKE] payer, so will result in more mail than just ignoring them.

    And it isn't your 2nd parking ticket. This is completely different from a council ticket, which has a statutory legal basis, unlike this.

    Good advice on here OP. Just make sure you take it. You will find it quite easy to take. All you have to do is, nothing.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    At its most basic, the less you contact them, the sooner they will move-on to some other mug.

    All an "appeal" to these sharks does is confirm that you take them seriously, so they will likely take longer trying to scare payment out of you.

    Ok so general concensus is ignore them and keep ignoring them. Thanks:j
