yes you are right. They have mentioned "we will recommend to our client that they take court action against you"

Received a second letter yesterday threatening to pay the fine by 12/12/18 otherwise they will advise their client to take court action.

Was this from the droids DRP again. ???

Wishful thinking is their middle name so ignore

Yes it was from DRP again. I'll ignore, have to say I'm really disappointed with Lidl though so I've emailed them again asking to get this cancelled as I'm being harassed by DRP

Lidl love their parking scammers but in reality, get a ticket in a Lidl store, it makes them one of the most expensive supermarkets

Once Xmas has passed, 2019 is going to be a tough year for these retailers. The first supermarket to advertise free vermin free parking will profit.

Right now with Lidl it's park for 90 mins then f*ck off and go elsewhere .... weird attitude

It is the will of Parliament that these scammers be put out of business. Hopefully that will take place in the near future. The Bill has passed through the HOC without hitch, and goes to the Lords soon. In the meantime involve your MP, the poor dears are buckling under the weight of complaints about these scammers. Read this one which I wrote earlier

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors. Is has been suggested by an MP that some of these companies may have connections to organised crime.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, (especially Smart}, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week), hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers.

Sir Greg Knight's Private Members Bill to curb the excesses, and perhaps close down, some of these companies passed its Third Reading in late November, and, with a fair wind, will become Law next year.

All three readings are available to watch on the internet, (some 6-7 hours), and published in Hansard. MPs have an extremely low opinion of the industry. Many are complaining that they are becoming overwhelmed by complaints from members of the public. Add to their burden, complain in the most robust terms about the scammers.

Thanks, I'll write to my MP today

I recall reading about the HOC bill last week which is good news for all of us and well overdue.

Got a letter today from Zenith Collections about the outstanding payment. They have also mentioned you can pay a discount settlement of £136 if paid within next 14 days.

Zenith is DRP - read the small print light grey text in the bottom r/h corner of your letter.

Have they also mentioned it's all a scam and you can pay nothing?

Search the forum for Zenith & read other threads. Getting bored by them this week!
