Britannia Parking Fines and now DRP warnings re CCJ!

Hello, please can you help!

I have recently been away and come home to about seven letters from DRP saying they want £160 EACH per Britannia fine's for some PCN's they have sent me. I think my cousin may have left my car somewhere while they were visiting. They nor I can afford this humongous amount :(!

Please can someone advise whether it is better to contact them and arrange a payment plan or whether I should avoid?

I have read the other threads but as this is more than one PCN, I was wondering if the advice would change?

Thanks in advance!

    Assuming you have read the newbies FAQ thread and the advice there on ignoring debt collectors, then the advice is the same irrespective of how many PCNs are involved

    Ignore debt collectors

    See #4 in the FAQ

    Assuming you too late to appeal these because you ignored them when first issued?

    They are not fines.

    Debt collectors have no powers and cannot take anyone to court.

    Get stuck into the sticky thread for NEWBIES as already advised to learn all about this unregulated scam.
    I married my cousin. I had to...
    I don't have a sister. :D
