Newlyn parking fine from excel parking

I received an initial letter from excel parking in July and then another shortly after. All through the post, not recorded delivery. I have now just received a letter from newlyn debt collectors.

Obviously the fine has gone up having ignored the other two letters. Do I have any option but to just pay this fine?

    You have every option not to pay - Start by reading the following thread for an idea of the process, timescales and options involved, then post here with more info for specific help - nothing that identifies you to them though. :)

    It's not a fine but why the heck would anyone ignore one of these in 2013? We have spent the best part of a year on this forum telling people NOT to ignore a fake PCN now and to appeal to POPLA. You have missed a trick which would have got this cancelled because we win against Excel every time. Too late for you (unless the keeper was not the driver, and even then Excel won't play the game now).

    Why not just search this forum for the word 'Newlyn' and read other threads by other posters who also seem to have missed the appeal boat for some reason, and read the advice in the sticky thread linked. The options ARE already spelt out in a section about 'debt collectors' on that sticky thread, for those who have missed the 2013 advice to appeal. Of course none of the options would be to pay the stupid thing, not sure why you think Newlyn are something special just because they mention the misleading word 'bailiffs' in their letter heading.

    Search the parking forum about them and read all about Newlyn letters - which have been discussed to death every week for months - but don't randomly Google their name since there is a separate bailiff arm of the same name and all results about that would be utterly irrelevant to you.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Theres always the option of contacting the car park owner to get this thing cancelled, would it be possible to find out who that may be?
