    If it won't make a difference I won't bother - I thought it might make them re-issue the ticket and re-start the clock before they start demanding more.

    Thanks!
    What will your verse be?

    You are not dealing with "normal" people here. (most of the time)
    The word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary

    that is why I said wait for an NTK, self preservation

    no wayyyyyyy would I contact them at all about this , as mentioned above you are dealing with parasites, not sensible normal people

    but you do as you see fit, but I dont see anyone advising you to contact NCP so far

    Doubt it. They will probably think it is the driver sending the PCN back and continue sending an NtK to the car the PCN was originally on.

    I'd have to agree with everyone, having tried to find some ethics and morals from a PPC......I found none!

    Instead we will be guiding someone who will be disgruntled about not understanding what the PCN is all about as they never got a ticket!

    I'll just hang onto it then in case I receive anything else.

    The cynic in me thinks the person whose car it was actually for probably stuck it on there hoping I'd pay it without checking it properly :D

    Did you say the ticket was stuck to the side of your car? Don't most get stuck on the windscreen, the three I have received certainly were!

    As you say it sounds like the person who received the ticket either just ripped it off his windscreen and threw it and it stuck to the side of your car or the person did it deliberately in the hope that you would pay up!!!
