Hi folks

Sorry if this is repetitive but I live in Northern Ireland and can't find any recent information other than what was on the newbie page which is several years old. I'm just wanting to know is the advice still just to ignore in Northern Ireland or has anything changed?

For info purposes my original charge was a few months ago and was from UKPC. I had parked in an area beside a large store that had no road markings or signs to say no parking after I had driven round the car park several times and was unable to find an empty space. I was not officially in a parking bay and as I discovered later their other signage stages that 'all vehicles must be parked only within marked bays'. I was gone from the car for 25 mins and my ticket states that I was 'Not parked within bay markings' & 'Not parked correctly within the markings of the bay or space'. I have made no contact with them at all and I am at the stage where I have now received the standard letter from Small Claims Solicitors threatening me with legal action/bailiffs etc if I don't pay up to Debt Recovery Plus. Do I continue to ignore or should I be forwarding one of Daisy's letters?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Dozeydinah, I am interested to hear how you got on with this. I am now at the stage you were a couple of months ago. A letter from Small Claims Solicitors came through the door on Saturday and I am still trying to ignore which is getting harder. Really close to paying up so they would just !!!!!! off!! I thought they had gone after ignoring the chain of letters stretching back to May (5 months ago). They are persistent. I suspect my letter is exactly the same as your. Any update would really put my mind at ease. Thanks.
