PCN advice

I have had two of these in the past, simply ignored them and after a stream of letters they have gone away. I now have two more, me and the wife, same car park same day, £ 90 each.

Is the advice simply to ignore not so anymore? Should I complain direct to the supermarket?

All advice welcome, thanks AKB

    in that case the law changed in 2012 when POFA 2012 came in , so ignore has not been correct for over 18 months now

    and the old letters "did not go away" , not until 6 years has passed, so if you ignored them more than 6 years ago , only then has the "statute" ran out

    but back to the present , read the NEWBIES thread and follow the flowchart linked in post #8

    Two for the price of one :) how did you manage that?

    Euro are toothless wonders! Appeal both of them when they send you the notice to keeper between days 29-56 of ticketing , once you have it use the appeal letter in post #1 of the sticky thread by coupon mad, upon rejection go to popla where it will be upheld.

    For each ticket you use the exact wording, just change the invoice number for each invoice.

    Damn, how time flies!! I seem to have missed the opportunity to appeal and have received the first letter from Debt Recovery Plus. Is my best bet to appeal regardless to the PCN issuer?

    ECP don't do court so you could ignore them or send an appeal, it's up to you but don't get involved in protracted correspondence. KEEP ALL LETTERS JUST IN CASE.

    Complain to the retailer! Go in and see the Store Manager (not the Duty Manager) and show them your receipts/Nectar card/bank statement to show you are a genuine customer and then show them the utter drivel you are being harassed with. Ask them to STOP THE CRAP!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
