The company is real.
It IS a scam.
It is NOT a fine.
If you'd really read the threads, you wouldn't be asking all these questions; you would know that you simply ignore it.

i parked at Robin park to enquire about times and prices of films. i parked in a disabled bay but my friend forgot to display his ticket. however when trying to get onto CMS website my computer does not allow access to this site as it shoes by red dot that it is unsafe to do so. therefore i can not appeal. however i have read the threads relating to this company and want to know, is this company for real or a scam and what do i do regarding the parking fine?

Why on earth would you want to look at the scammers' website? Yes the company is real, of course they are, but the PCN is NOT.

Like all the other posters on this board, you have a fake PCN, a misleading invoice.

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.

This is not a penalty at all. It's rubbish, there are no bailiffs letters, just debt collector standard template threatograms (all hot air, we can tell you this for certain).

Tick off the threatening letters as you get them, here.

The letters are actually quite funny when they arrive at the address of someone who knows it's all hogwash and not a real parking ticket at all.

My 18 year old niece has EIGHT fake PCNs so far and laughs & texts me every time she gets one. She is just a new driver, a teenager, and she knows this is all a con like a series of phishing emails.

I would happily collect more fake PCNs than the 2 that I already have for Supermarket overstays (more than an hour overstays, both times when shopping at busy times). Plus I have a nice collection of amusing/alarmist debt collector letters which I carry in my handbag to show friends & colleagues if the subject crops up! :rotfl:
