    They won't 'just cancel it'. There's no money in that.

    You seem to be under the impression that this is a reasonable company you have come up against.

    I urge you to look at this video and see what our Members of Parliament recently had to say about these companies:

    But of course there is also no money in getting the TOC to take the matter to the Magistrates Court as they wouldn't see a penny of any fine. So they are left to basically falsely represent hemselves in the hope of getting payment.

    Yep and they only have a contract to issue pre-action letters. Nothing beyond that.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Is there any value in responding to QDR, with copies to Trading standards and my MP, as suggested in another thread?
    unsurprisingly ZZPS have failed to respond to any of the letters I have sent them and the last letter I ensured that I had the free guaranteed postage[/FONT]

    Deby collectors = Ignore

    By my calculation you've got about a month to go before any tiny potential threat of Magistrate's Court is timed out.
  • Hi,

    So today I parked at the train station near me to take a train into London. I paid for the parking on my phone and it was all approved. Due to there being absolutely no parking spaces in the car park I had to park on the end of the bays. Other people had done this so I thought nothing of it. When I come back to my car I had a parking ticket on my window.

    It says I have breached code 3 - parked in an unauthorised area. The charge is £100 or £60 if paid within 14 days.

    Do I have to pay this parking fine? I paid for my ticket but it wasn’t my fault that there was nowhere to park on the car park!!
