Over the time limit at a drop off zone

Bump - the company have said they aren't going to reply to anymore correspondence from us. We missed the deadline for popla - is there anything we can do?

Obviously ignore Parkwatch unless they try a small claim. Same as those who lose at POPLA!

No-one PAYS these scams.

You now either pay up or wait and see if they try court.

Your choice, but they do have up to six years to try court.

Thanks for this - really uncomfortable with waiting around.

If it did go to court, do we ignore or take them on?

Read the NEWBIES thread. You can't ignore a court claim! Post #2 of the sticky thread tells you how to win that stage.

Thanks - I wasn't sure if missing the popla date was covered. I'll have a look

Missing POPLA moves you on to debt collector letters stage, which is in post #4 of the sticky.

Roughly 20 mins - because my partner was taking her child in to get something, her child needed the toilet, had an accident and was 'upset' - but the driver stayed in the zone thinking they wouldn't be long.

You have plenty of grounds there for a complaint to the landowner/shopping centre, the principal (usually the shopping centre) is jointly responsible for the actions of its agents (the parking company) no matter what stage things are at, our the principal says cancel the parking company has to follow

Ignoring a court claim will result in a ccj. Not usually a good idea.
