QDR Solicitors CCJ

Hi Guys,

New to this forum and i'm after some advice, if I'm totally honest i've been a bit of an idiot.

I've managed to rack up around 10 parking tickets from my local station car park. After the first few tickets I did some research online and the advice given was to just completely ignore ZZPS/Wright Hassall etc as they would never act on the penalties. Stupidly, I let the situation get out of hand and got lazy with paying for tickets and now have got myself in this ridiculous situation.

Its not something that I have worried about before, however I have just received a letter from QDR solicitors stating the following: 'Payment is now long overdue. If the debt is not repaid in full within 14 days of the date of this letter, our Client may consider County Court Proceedings against you.'

The payment they are asking for is £182, if all 10 tickets get to this stage and its something that can be enforced, I'm looking at paying £2000 in fees which as a uni student is something i really cant afford.

I know i've been stupid but I'm really looking for some advice here, anything you guys can do to help is much appreciated. I was tempted to pay up, but if I pay for one then theres no reason why they wont then expect all 10? Do I keep ignoring them or will they take me to court?

Thanks.

    Is the name of the parking company that issued the original tickets Indigo?

    Do I keep ignoring them
    Ignore them. The really idiotic thing woudl be to now start responding and thinking you have to pay!
    will they take me to court?
    Nope, they can't. The Railway contract doesn't let Indigo sue, and they can't go any further than letters.

    Isn't the Q&A and link about Indigo railway Penalties clear and understandable, in the NEWBIES thread? Read it again.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
