  • A similar thing happened to me last week. I received a letter after a 2 year + gap. I will ignore it as well. Maybe a new company has taken over and they are clearing up old files??

    'Someone' in my family got a similar ticket 3 years ago. We ignored all of the letters and eventually they stopped. Then last week, after about a 2 year gap, another one came in offering us settlement for £99. I will of course ignore, but strange they have started with the letters again after such a long time. I feared they had new powers but I assume not

    No, this is a well known tactic of the scummers - a last ditch attempt to catch the victim off their guard and spook payment out of them.

    Again, its seen frequently in the Parking Tix Forum

    No, they mostly use a 'new' debt collector that turns out to be just another trading name of the same old shower.
