Unfortunately I have already contacted debt collectors out of sheer panic, however the guy at the other end was not helpful and really quite rude. All he was interested in was the money and said I couldn't appeal. He put the phone down on me when I asked for copies of letters, he said the letters would be produced at a court hearing!

Debt collectors can't get any money off you unless you are stupid enough to give it to them. If they went to court, they would get nothing as it would go to G24, not them. The debt collectors don't want it to go to court because they won't get paid if it does. They are lying.

Thanks guys, it's all a bit scary. Especially when they are sending demanding letters and your good reputation could be damaged through them.

No need to be scared .... you are dealing with low life

When you asked coupon-mad what to do next she replied

Nothing. This is only G24!

Take notice of coupon-mad please

Your reputation cannot be affected by debt collectors. They have no powers that can affect you. They can't take you to court, or send bailiffs round, or "give you" a CCJ.
The only thing they can lawfully do is send you bog paper and firelighters.

you are not "in trouble" either , its a civil claim , not a criminal matter

its a claim for an unpaid invoice that you are disputing , nothing more

the debt collectors are powerless , IGNORE them completely

I too am surprised to read G24 and Meadowhall in the same sentence , especially as 2 other PPC,s were mentioned in those debates mentioned by umkomaas earlier, neither being G24

namely , C P PLUS (it was PCM before them) - G24 was never mentioned

one poster was adamant there were no parking restrictions there, despite signage to the contrary

How? What do you think these letters can do? They can't.

Two different locations; CP Plus run the Meadowhall Centre, (no time limit restrictions), and G24 the smaller Meadowhall Retail Park.

How do you tell if someone is lying? Check if they've been to court?

How do you tell if a debt crawler is lying? Check if they have a pulse!

Does anyone know how I can contact the landowners? I've tried emailing legal and general but had no luck. Telephoned them and was cut off.
Thanks in advance.

Google the correct name of the retail park and they may have a website page to 'contact us'. If not, then your Google results should include a few newspaper articles which might talk about the retail park in general or even be a rant about unfair 'fines' - these often have a comment from (and name of) the managing agents.

Or you should see retail adverts and leaflet PDFs which often include an email of a property agent who may still be the managing agent (or will know who that party is).

Or send a pm to trubster who is our resident Meadowhall 'parking shark' expert:

This is the Retail Park associated with Meadowhall, not the Meadowhall Shopping Centre itself, and I can confirm it is G24 Ltd. that manage it as I've had dealings with them before.

If it *REALLY* is the first letter you've recieved after 4 months - and you've not accidentally thrown the previous ones away or whatever (no judgement from me - it's easily done) - then they've got no claim whatsoever, as there is a time limit on POFA2012 on how quickly they have to send out a NtK - I believe it's 56 days? But I'm sure the experts here will correct me if i'm wrong.

So, if it were me, I'd be writing G24 Ltd. a letter stating that this is the first communication you've received, that you've had no other communications from them, and unless they are willing to provide evidence that they've previously sent out correspondence (an NtK, or an LBCCC for example), that they are outside the time limits allowed to pursue Keeper Liability under POFA2012, and that you cordially invite them to take a long walk off a short pier.
