    What I don't get about all this is that I get a letter in the post saying Parking Fine, so whats the problem then?

    No you didn't. If you have the word 'fine' on that PCN I will eat my Brighton hat! I realise your post was a joke, BTW!

    On this forum, we used to deal with a nasty but dim firm called ANPR Ltd who used to send something in the post called 'Outstanding Parking Charge'. I devised a reply that said (among other things) 'thankyou very much for writing to congratulate me on my outstanding parking...'
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    I found this within one minute of putting the location into the forum search box

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4957980

    must have been a different parking company back then , but I am sure its the same place

    the managing agent details etc may still be valid

    otherwise you can easily obtain landholder details from the LAND REGISTRY for a small fee
  • Saw this and didn't really take note as was a different con artist, but wasn't really thinking of trying to get the retailer to cancel the ticket at the time, so now, it seems relevant to me.

    Am I right in saying that I treat the format of anything written (online or post) in the "the driver" did this type terminology or is that just specific to the scumbags ....?

    Many thanks Redx
