Help, what do I do now?

Hi all,
Any advice?
I had a ticket come through the post after parking at my local hospital, the machine's had been covered in bin bags and as it was Christmas time I presumed it was free parking, I didn't see any signs and thought nothing of it.
I have an IVA and struggle with depression so often ignore my post. I have not contacted them as I hoped they would go away but I have now had a letter threatening civil court proceedings. I am scared they will go through with this but don't have the money to pay, any advice??

I can assure you that this "will not go away"0 -
Hi
It is Parking Eye. The letter was from Premier Solicitors. I am in England and I have not done anything about this as I said I syruggle to even open post...0 -
What happened when you complained to PALS to get them to cancel it for you?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD0 -
strange that its a solicitors as its PE
PE issue their own court claims (about 25 to 30 thousand a year)
so if this is an LBC from a valid Solicitors then you need to respond and rebut and refute the claims being made , in writing
and you need to contact the trust and/or PALS urgently (in writing) and get it cancelled before a court claim is issued (why did you answer the other questions and not this last one ?)0 -
Ok I guess as it was over a year ago, it has been handed over to solicitors!??
I will write to PALs and the Solicitors refuting the fine and explain I cannot pay!?
Thank you
Sorry which question did I not answer?0 -
"I will write to PALs and the Solicitors refuting the fine and explain I [strike] cannot [/strike] WILL NOT pay
Concentrate on why you should not have to pay i.e. bin bags over the pay machines0 -
Ok thank you0
