I imagine this is the company that operates in the Newark Area. This not a "civil penalty notice", but a parking charge notice. Robin Hood are not BPA members and so cannot get your details from the DVLA. So you are safe to ignore these stupid demands, nothing will happen.

What an inappropriate name, Robin Hood only robbed the rich.

I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

They certainly do on their notices. See the link I posted at #5.

And it won't go anywhere if the OP doesn't contact them as they have no legal way to contact them, unless the OP tells them.

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 somehow get sent any letters there will have been a DPA breach so do let us know. Don't respond to this bunch of chancers at all, in any form.

PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
