Hello All,
I parked for 52 minutes in a private car park that had a 40 minute limit. Completely missed the (very small) signs.
I appealed to POPLA prior to coming to this forum - silly me - and my appeal was refused.
Civil Enforcement Ltd are now asking for £140 ("original charge and additional costs"), accompanied with the threats about court, 'debt order' and attachment of earnings!
Do I have grounds to not pay these people such an extortionate amount?

Welcome.
Please read the NEWBIES thread post #2 about defending a court claim, because that's the time you will need our help, not yet.
CEL will try a claim but we beat them or force them to discontinue, 99.99% of the time.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
