Which part of 'completely ignore, do not phone a PPC or a debt collector' are you having trouble with?
I live in that city and have been getting letters from various debt collectors for parking in a free car park and failing to display a ticket.
I have been ignoring them for years, never wrote or called or acknowledged them.
They can't do anything.

I guess my calculations were off as I should have paid for 6 hours instead of 4. now I know im in the wrong but 160 quid seems very steep for 2 hours worth of parking. is it best to the hit and grumble or just get ignoring the letter and hope for the best?
Do as coupon mad says, it is after all Scotland and unless the cowboys know who the driver is, tough on Smart
And yes you should make a big wave with the land owner and all the retailers asking "do you know that scammers operate in your car park"
As Umkomaas says, make contact with Murdo Fraser
