Hi
Today we have received a recorded delivery letter from the above company.
In October last year i brought a parking ticket at Lusty Glaze car park in Cornwall, I realised I did not have enough time on it so brought another, I put them both in the window but 1 must have blown down when I shut the door. (I have both tickets)
When I returned to the car I had a parking charge notice.
I ignored this and didn't here anything until January when a letter arrived undated called a notice to hirer, I again ignored this, but today have received a recorded delivery letter headed Final Letter Before Debt Recovery or Court action.
Any suggestions as my best course of action ? thanks

  • Also the NTK was dated 05/02/19 this was well past the 56 day window, does this mean they cannot take the matter further ? Thanks
  • I ignored this and didn't here anything until January when a letter arrived undated called a notice to hirer,
    Was it a hire car, with a new notice sent to you once the hire company had passed on your details?

    The duty is to notify the keeper within time. If the above circumstances are correct, you may find it's been done by the book ...

    If they can prove you were driving they don't need to rely on POFA and have 6 years to sue you for breach of contract.
  • No it wasn't a hire car.
    Does that mean I am going to have to pay up ?

    Such questions are unofficially banned! COME ON!

    Your letters and timeline make no sense, based on what you actually said.
    a letter arrived undated called a notice to hirer,
    but
    No it wasn't a hire car.

    and
    didn't here anything until January when a letter arrived
    but
    the NTK was dated 05/02/19

    So it's a company car then, or a lease one where your name is not on the V5C?

    You said the first notice arrived in January, so that was the NTK/NTH, not this latest one.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
