NCP final reminder notice

Options
I'm new to this so unsure if I'm posting in the right place. Wondering if anyone can help me....I'm panicking.

I received a PCN a while ago from NCP as I did not pay for parking back in May - i had had an extremely bad day as a relative had been in a serious accident and I was half an hour late for a meeting. I was driving a courtesy car as I too had been in an accident a couple of weeks previous. I ignored the PCN as I was told by a friend that I was not legally obliged to pay it as NCP are a private company. I received a final notice last week telling me that I have 14 days to pay the sum of £100, if I don't then they will send debt collectors to my door and if I still refuse to pay then I will be taken to county court.

I haven't appealed anything or responded to them whatsoever. I didn't actually open the first 2 letters I had received from NCP regarding the PCN as my dad noticed what they were and insisted I wrote "return to sender" on the envelope and posted it.

I live in Scotland and the parking charge was issued for parking in Glasgow King Street.

Does anyone have any advice as I'm now worrying about debt collectors 😓 Any advice appreciated!!!!

    OK , the parking co can only go after the driver in Scotland , POFa does not apply in Scotland


    make sure the curtacy car Co do not pay this


    don,t bother replying to NCP , because they will twist your words until you admit to being the driver


    ni debt collector can come to your door , until a court case , you loose and you do not pay


    no name and they are snookered


    you will get lots of threatening letters ONLY if you get an OFFICIAL letter from NCP or THIER solisitors , or court papers , come back


    as you can see , NCP do not do a lot of court http://www.bmpa.eu/companydata/National_Car_Parks.html


    Scotland would confuse them
