G24 Parking charges - Norwich

KitKat77

Hi


I've been following the threads here as today I received a letter from CCS collect regarding correspondence from G24 about charges for 'overstaying' in a car park. This is a free car park for shop users and I spent quite some time and money in the store at Riverside purchasing items.


However, I received a letter in August saying I had be shopping too long and had been fined. I ignored them on advice seen here, in other forums and from my partner who works for the police as the letters are 'unenforceable'. Today I had a letter from the collection people stating that I must pay


Can these be ignored ? I have ben through swathes of the posts on here but want to make sure I am correct in assuming they may get nasty but ultimately they can't enforce or get a ccj against me?


Have spoken to the manager at the store who says he understand my frustration but he and his staff are in the same boat. He did give me the name of the company who owns the land.


Any advice would be great!

Well, you found the blue "New Thread" button then!! :T

It is a great shame that you didn't find current threads on here when you got the ticket back in August. We have been advising appealing to the PPCs for 9 months or more.

You are now far too late to go down the POPLA route, so continue ignoring till you either get a LBC (LBA) or court papers from Northampton.

In the meantime, read Coupon-Mad's NEWBIES sticky thread at the top of this forum and the Letter before claims sticky as well.

My ''newbies read this first'' thread covers what your options are if too late to appeal. That's why it's entitled 'have you got a private parking ticket, even an old one?'

Also the ''Successful complaints about PPCs'' shows you how to complain properly to a retail park.

Instead of reading swathes of threads, the sticky threads have the info you need. G24 don't do court but it would be nice to shut the debt collector letter chain up by getting it cancelled by complaints, submitted in the right way to the right person.

Should have read the information here earlier because you'd have beaten it at POPLA easily by now.
