    They need an address to reply. You really need a quick course on the legal system, not just for parking tickets.

    You cant get a CCJ unless you are taken to court, lose the case and then don't pay.

    Bailiffs can do nothing till then.

    Debt collector letters can be ignored until you lose a case and don't settle.

    Do try googling CCJ and bailiffs to set your mind at rest.

    In theory, anyone could try taking anyone else to Court - but you are protected by the Equality Act 2010, as I have already explained; harassment of you is unlawful. And you do not have a fine nor a debt here.

    Of course a random company can't just send bailiffs round without winning in Court first (which they would not be able to do!)!

    Let us know what reply you get but if course Smart Parking need a name and address to reply to - doesn't have to be your full/real name of course! :)

    Yes they are a registered company, I could also register a company called scammers are us ltd , would you think I would be an honest company ? No private company can give out penalties, they cannot fine you, and their charges certainly is not the loss to the landowner. So it's not a legitimate charge, more so if they are not cancelling the invoice because of a breach of the Equality Act 2010.

    Read this thread entirely then if you have further questions create a new thread not hijack somebody else's

    You don't use emotive words like 'you are not a legit company' or 'it's not a legit ticket', that's fairly pointless. We never suggest that.

    Either do a complaint to the retailer like the one on page 1 of this thread, or perhaps a complaint along these lines:

    or a POPLA appeal if this was in England/Wales and you have been given a POPLA code:

    I used to be a Disability Advice Manager and can tell you that this harassment of a disabled person is ILLEGAL under the Equality Act 2010.

    Lose the case ? ? Come on this is not going to go to court, it makes very little difference you've supplied your name and address. So by making complaints etc it doesn't mean that there is a case.

    If this is a breach of the Equality Act 2010 you could bring a case against them not the other way around. Please follow the advice already given, you will not be paying this scam unvoice.

    Come on this is fine, I would have given my real name & address in your shoes too. This charge will be cancelled I am sure even if you have to do a POPLA appeal.
