This may not be the thread to ask, but I'm in need of a bit of some advice please,
Is it still the policy not to pay a private parking fine as I recived one by post from a company after taking 1 hour 15minutes to eat a meal in a KFC restaurant in September twenty seventeen.
The reason I ask, is the advice I've been given so far from friends family etc is not to pay and ignore the letters.
I see all the threads I've read on this site about not paying and ignoring the letters are dated many years ago.
I've ignored four letters so far and my fine is now two hundred pounds. With the threat of solicitors as there next action
Should I just of paid the fine in the first place Any advice given would be gratefully received .
The company is a member of the BPA
Thanks

Why are we pleased with this? Why did no MP even mention that ANPR should be banned? Why did no one suggest that all parking firms should be shut off from the DVLA? All this code does is legitimise the scumbags. Why did only 50 or so MP!!!8217;s bother to turn up when this is such a huge issue - at least the SNP told the truth. All it takes are for barriers to be installed and that solves the great parking con once and for all.

One MP at th start even tried defending PPC!!!8217;s - he needs to be named and shamed!

You raise a very valid point about ANPR and it is disappointing that this was not raised at all in the debate.

Coupon-mad

Thought Ryan claims to be in Scotland.

Sounds like you are upset, Ryan, as any PPC would be.
