    When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
    We don't need the following to help you.
    Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

    If you look more carefully at the letter its actually stating what the costs MIGHT be, were they to take you to court and win. Both of which are astronomically unlikely.

    Not sure if anyone ever simply stumps up the full £205.27 without realising that of course. I'm sure Graham would refund the money in full if that were to ever happen.

    Obviously.

    Blimey, the PPCs must be getting desperate to issue tickets if they are employing sprinters to ticket cars. I guess the next step is to employ Wiggo to chase-down ad ticket anyone who leaves the scene before the ticket can be stuck to the car.

    Hang on, I've just come-up with a twist on a cycle racing. All the PPCs could put together cyclo-sprint teams to chase after a car driven round a course & at the end of the race, the winner would be the team with the most tickets attached.

    Damn, ignored a court letter thinking it was fake, then today received a 'Judgement for Claimant' letter (although they spelt judgement wrong on the letter head). Reading the letter it looks like I've missed my chance to fight it. Any ideas anyone?

    'Judgment' is correct in legal terminology. You have missed your chance to defend a small claim - sorry but you've handed the scammers your money on a plate.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
