Demand for payment of an unpaid parking charge.

Rachael1

Hi, can anyone help? I received a PCN from the Civil Enforement Ltd in Liverpool, on the 1st August 2013, for parking in a supermarket car park in Southwell between the hours 7.34 - 11.09 pm.


The car park was practically empty at that time and I had not realised that there would be a camera taking a photo of the registration. I have in the past used supermarket car parks in my home town late evening and had not encountered any problems.


Unfortunately, having researched, I decided to ignore the PCN notice and have now received a demand for payment of £140 from the Debt Recovery Plus Ltd. It states that if I do not agree to pay it they will recommend to the creditor's solicitor that court action should be taken to recover what I owe. They also refer to the Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.


I would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.


Thanks.

Then come back here with any questions or a draft of how you propose to challenge/appeal but keep personal/identifying details to the bare minimum.

And read the 'Successful complaints about PPCs' sticky thread near the top and let us know how you get on when you email the CEO of the store or go and tell the Store Manager you are being harassed for shopping, it's not on, and you want it stopped.
