Its a shopping centre by the looks of things, not exactly the scene for a grubby bailiffs, though it looks good a scammer's website.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.

Elsie1997 - I doubt they'll send anyone around as this reeks of a spam text being send to try and rustle up some easy money. If anyone did try you would have a face to identify to the police0
