Euro Car Parks - (in Scotland)

I'm Scottish, and my car was (unknowingly) parked in a town centre where the parking is "controlled" by Euro Car Parks. Did as instructed (I believe) in the Newbies thread, can't complain to a specific retailer because it's the car park for the town. I got the escalation letter from Euro car parks (kept, ignored), and now I've received a letter from debt recovery plus, it's quite threatening and the whole situation has me seriously stressed out (I have health and other issues, this is the last thing I need really). Am I 100% safe to continue to ignore these pair of scare tactic companies? I can't afford any sort of reprisals against me (financially or in terms of credit rating)

Thank you

    Nothing is 100% safe. About 99% in this case.

    Scotty, you are about to be beamed up to logic.

    You are in Scotland and there is no driver for/in your car, you are just the registered keeper ..... your car is a driverless car

    GET THE PICTURE .... ignore

    definitely NOT, its not like a speeding notice or official notice, its just an invoice sent to the RK and they are hoping the RK will be stupid enough to respond and dob the driver in

    Absolutely not. Silence is golden. Do not communicate with them at all.

    Meaningless and ignorable debt collector letters for the next 5 years.

    You're overthinking this. If you believe you're so unlucky that sky will fall on your head, just pay them and be done with it. You seem not to want to trust our advice. We cannot say the same thing in an infinite number of ways.

    Description: Johnny Bravo has no shortage of confidence, and he's certain that all women want him. With his big hair and tight black clothes, he's known for his karate chops, accompanied by the sound of a bullwhip.

    I won't ask you about the ladies, but I'd have thought your cartoon character wouldn't be unnecessarily concerning himself with an outfit which has no prospect of delivering him any harm. :D

    Excuse my sense of humour! :cool:
