£50 fine while parked in resident parking

Comments

  • Thanks for your help. I will ignore and see what happens...

    I did search the forums and it seems ANPR LTD love scamming Lidl shoppers! I wasn't sure where I stood regarding residential parking. All the same I guess.
    I should invoice them for littering on my windscreen.

    Thanks everyone

  • Hi, I have an update regarding my original post. I received another invoice this time for £100. They have obviously contacted the DVLA and retrieved my details.

    I am not sure whether to continue to ignore or now appeal. The document does look more professional than thought it would. I have scanned the document if anybody wants to see it? Can I upload images or just link to them?

    Their website is www(dot)anpr-ltd(dot)com

    Thank you
    Garry

    Garry ?
    Listen to the people advising you, read the site, read the threads, you can even download your letters before they arrive.
    Please read more so you know what shapes the scam will shift in to, debt collecters, fake solicitors, unstamped court papers, more debt collectors.
    Be happy...;)

    just pop a link up with out the www and ill post it up for you

    But you dont need to appeal just because the scam looks genuine

    Just keep ignoring, our advice hasnt changed
    For everthing else there's mastercard.
    For clampers there's Barclaycard.
  • I have listened and I did ignore the initial notice. I was surprised by the fact that the second notice arrived in a postage paid (with company logo) envelope and that the letter was more professional than expected.
    ANPR LTD seem to be one of the larger outfits.

    This is Trev's lot, not members of the BPA as he wants to set up his own version of it! The only thing "larger" about them is the size of Trev's ego.

    If he is not in the BPA, how has he got DVLA information ?

    My mistake, they are members www.britishparking.co.uk/AOS-Members however it doesn't make anything any more legitimate.

    Introduce them to some real number recognition.
    The post office sorting machine pre -postage scanner auto billing system.
    Seal the envelope and drop it back in the box daily.
    See how they like it.
    Be happy...;)
