    I appreciate what you're saying BUT some people have been taking to court and had to pay quadruple the amount. It would just be my luck to be one of the unlucky ones! Thank you for your advice though
    What?? Some people have been taken to court by ECP. Are you sure?

    Are you thinking about starting your own thread anytime soon - so that you can get bespoke advice rather than derailing this thread?
  • I'm not derailing this thread. I simply asked the original poster if they had been successful and then others commented and I am simply replying with my concerns. I dont understand why you are so offended by my comments!

  • From all the forums I've looked on tonight and a Facebook search on ecp fines I found some people discussing been taken to court so yes it appears they have (may be only a tiny percentage but still a percentage)or else it wouldn't be a concern of mine!

    No they haven't.

    Euro Parking services, but not Euro Car Parks. Don't believe what you read on Facebook!

    And no-one except a hopeless victim with a bad defence, or an aggressive idiot who is so unreasonable that they pee off the court and get stung for punitive costs, pays quadruple!

    You are on a forum where we know what we are talking about, and have done this for YEARS and have seen all parking court case hearings, on a daily list (also for years, and no ECP ones have featured*) unlike rumours from clueless people on pointless social media vehicles like Facebook.



    * in fact they tried one (just once) about 8 - 10 years ago, where they got over-excited due to a person having about 20 PCNs (so the money attracted them to try) and it was so badly pleaded that ECP folded and have never featured on the court lists since.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
