    Hi. I have received the same letter today. Im really concerned now as i ignored all previous letters since 2011. Mine is still within the 6 yr period. I overstayed by 3mins, but purchased another ticket and left within the 2nd hour. They sent me a letter stating i had over stayed and didnt acknowledge the second ticket. There was no signage at the time saying i had drive out of the car park and back on again if i wanted to stay for longer.

    The information i have read here now is saying i should appeal, .but is that information for new people to this or to people like me with this letter. Im really sorry if this has already be covered some where but i have 2 children under 3 and can't really take my eyes of them to read all the threads fully.

    You need to start your own thread - don't hijack someone else's, it just causes confusion - your case is quite different to the one this thread is about

    Yours is the same as all the other HUNDREDS of cases on here and on pepipoo forum:

    http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showforum=60

    No-one is saying to 'appeal'. Threads all over both forums show you how to respond though.

    I do know how it is, I'm a Mum who had 4 kids under seven at one point (now all lovely teens/adults) but I worked as well - you CAN do this.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    They have now phoned me about this and caught me off guard so I spoke to them. I said it is over 6 years so not enforceable and he said that although not enforceable they would like the money owed so will take to next stage. I did not write to them last week but will do so now. Kicking myself that I spoke to them on the phone

    They have phoned me three more times this week. Its getting to the point of harassment!

    You have two choices, block them on your phone or tell the droid who phones you
    "This has timed out" .... no further requests will be considered and you will report BWLegal to the SRA for harassment"

    Think about it ..... what more can they do, send a bully boy to your house so you can invite the police to join him, don't think so.

    IT TIMED OUT .... NOT YOUR PROBLEM
  • Next time they call:
    - turn on a voice recorder
    - ask the name of the person who is calling and what company they are from.
    - tell them you deny owing any money to their client
    - ask them not to call again.

    Subsequent times they call:
    - turn on a voice recorder
    - ask the name of the person who is calling and what company they are from.
    - terminate call.
    - report to the SRA for harassment
