Contractual parking charge final notice g24

Hey just wondering is there any chance for advise?
Around end of November 2016 I got a parking ticket from company called G24 they give me a chance to pay less if payment made within 14 days £60 so I went online and came across this forum and took advice to complain to retailer "Sports Direct " they completely ignored me not replaying to my email . Christmas period was a bit more intense this year and I completely forgot about that ticket up till couple of days ago when I received Final notice letter reminding me to pay £100 .I know you advised to always appeal but I didn't because completely forgot and I don't know what to do now should I pay ? Please advise at you earliest convinience and thank you .

    ignore

    and try to get the landholder to cancel it if you can (complain)

    IGNORE IT.

    Even if you had appealed it falls on deaf because they belong to a pretend sham organisation called IPC/IAS run by Gladstones solicitors who are in turn incompetent as you will see on here.

    G24 don't do court because some time ago, the courts cost them a lot of money.

    You can expect a few months of crazy debt collectors begging for money but you simply ignore them because there is ZERO they can do.
    Only G24 can take it further and that is very doubtful

    Sports Direct are an ignorant company both to their own staff and customers alike.

    A warning on their facebook page about the company and the car park are in order and Trip Advisor works well.

    Do not contact G24 at any time as these parking companies employ nasty little rats to make threats.
    Never ever say who the driver was.

    Just wait now to see what they do, probably nothing

    What happened when you went in and complained to the Store Manager?

    If it is a multi-retail park, what happened when you complained to the landowner or managing agent for the whole site (easy to Google almost any site to find a contact).

    No-one here pays G24.

    Go on SD's Facebook page and write some very bad stuff. Also Twitter etc.

    Also, write letters of complaint to all the retail outlets present, whether you shop with them or not, theses PPCs can only cause them to lose custom.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Go back an insist. Stand there holding the offending fake PCN and stay at the CS desk till they cancel.

    AND complain again assertively to the Head offices of Dreams and SD AND Google the place if it has a name for that 'retail park' and find the managing agents.
