Euro Car Parks - (in Scotland)

JohnnyBravo82
Posts: 6 Forumite
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
Thank you

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

Absolutely not. Silence is golden. Do not communicate with them at all.0 -

What's the worst case scenario?

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.

Not sure what you're getting at tbh.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.
