G24 parking fine

Hi - I researched previous threads following a PCN from G24 for parking at Staples and sent off a very detailed challenge to PCN as advised (basically copied the full example given). I have received a detailed response basically telling me their parking charges are fully enforceable then quotes a case of Robophone Facilities vs Blank, the onus of proving that an amount is a penalty rather than liquidated damages is upon me (as the party against whom the parking charge is claimed). It goes on to tell me I can appeal to the IAS, then confirms they have been audited by an independent assessor on behalf of the Independent Parking Committee then tells me what POFA describes as `parking charge'. In effect it gives me 4 options a) pay the outstanding charge b)appeal to the IAS c)if I do nothing they will recover money through their debt recovery procedure and may proceed with court action and e)if I give them copies of receipts for the store - they may re-evaluate my case! Any advice please - do I respond or ignore?

    Is your uername your real name?

    If so, maybe delete and either get it changed or get a new ac!!!! that won't identify you.

    PPCs do trawl this board trying to identify people!

    G24 - the company that makes Stupid Stupidity of Stupid Town in the borough of Stupid look intelligent - ignore the wally brains.

    They have NEVER done court ( I even asked them to take me there for my THREE tickets - never seen anything since ).

    Just complain by email or in person to the retailer - and if need be the Head Office, job done.

    Don't try IAS appeal.

    Don't even think about trying it.

    Don't pay.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
