Hi

A car was apparently parked in an area that it shouldn't have 2 weeks in a row. The driver didn't realise until they got a ticket. After that the sign was noted.

Apparently they tried to pay by sending a cheque for the amount but it was returned as by the time they received it the first ticket was over the grace period. When phoned and asked the parking company to question this they said it has been passed on to debt collectors this was only 3 weeks after the incident apparently. Asked why they didn't accept the money and re-invoice them for the deficit. They were told that it had already been sent to a debt collection this was only 3 weeks after said event.

Apparently an email was sent to the debt collector twice now who have apparently yet to reply to the person and today they apparently received a letter from a named solicitor.


Should a solicitor be contacted at this stage to deal with apparent situation as apparently payment was attempted and returned.

Thanks

    Everyone is asked to read up on this in the newbies FAQ thread near the top of the forum before starting a new thread

    Go there now to get an understanding of the game you are now caught up in and how to deal with this

    Throughout here you are advised never to reveal who was driving

    You need to edit your post to remove details of who was driving

    The ppcs monitor this forum and can use posts in your thread against you

    Ignore debt collectors, but not the PPC.
    Never, ever phone parking scammers or their agents.

    Did you appeal the initial PCN? If not, do so now asper the NEWBIES.
