Rubbish Advice

If you get a private parking ticket it is nothing more than an initial request for payment for breach of contract, it's that simple.
You park your car and enter into an implied contract. If you get a ticket then it's because the other party consider you have breached an implied contract. It doesn't matter if you agree or not, that's for a court to decide. If you have breached the conditions pay up, it's your fault and if you think you haven't then wait for them to take legal action.
There is absolutely no point responding to anything but a summons, what is the point of sending these templates out ?
If you think you can win a case in court then simply ignore everything until you get a CC summons then defend it. This applies to every situation in law not just parking tickets.
999,999 times out a 1,000,000 they will send you 3 letters then give up anyway if they don't have a body (which you give them by replying) to deal with.


I'd go further and say even if you think you are right why spend hours of your life appealing and formulating defences and appearing in court over a lousy 100 quid or so ? I'd rather work a few hours overtime and just pay the fee rather than spend hours and hours defending it. It works out cheaper and far less stressful.
Pragmatism and realism before pride.

Madness to tell people to pay. Scammers thrive when good people do nothing.

Yeah but it's fun beating these muppets at their own game.

Ditto couldn't agree more with CM

My wife recently got an invoice from PE & they are the most litigious (Invoice was cancelled)

I agree, most of your advice is rubbish.

Are you familiar with the poem by Pastor Neilmoller?

You ask why send templates rather than wait for court papers. The answer is very simple in that it's easier spending 30 seconds cutting and pasting a template than dealing with a court claim.

What utter drivel!

Just want to add my congratulations to all those above: brilliant title! Spot on.

I quite agree with you of course. Why would people want to nip PCNs in the bud when they could have the luxury of up to 6 years of harassment and drivel from incompetent yet nonetheless intimidating debt collectors? Damn it, I'm gonna go out right now and get me a PCN. Thanks for the enlightenment.
