Parking fine help needed please

Hi, I have received a penalty notice and now a few letters from CPM. I ignored these as I felt it was unfair. I now have a letter from debt recovery plus ltd, should I have appealed and should I pay them? I am going through a process of applying for a mortgage soon so am extremely worried. Thanks

    I know you have already received advice to come to THIS board rather than the other, but if you go to pepipoo.com forums you will get even better advice, IMHO (and, as you will see from my signature, I am a great fan of this board.)

    It does sound as if you may have difficulties, though, if you have already ignored letters. But nil desperandum, here's hoping someone there can help you.

    (Do follow their instructions and post up the penalty notice, suitably edited, plus relevant correspondence.)

    Well there you go, a nice vote of confidence for this forum from an actual MSE Board Guide. Has it not crossed your mind that many of the heavyweights on PePiPoo post here as well?

    OK, OP, your call.
    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.

    There is a very comprehensive guide (on this site surprisingly) you can find here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4816822

    There is a section that tells you what to do about debt collectors letters. You will need to read it thoroughly and digest its contents.
