Parking charge from 3 years ago

TeesvilleLads

Hi I have recieved a PCN from NPS (Northern Parking Service) this morning from 2016, i know they have 5 years to chase you etc.

I did not reply to the earlier one so i am a little unsure with what to do with this one?

Coupon-mad

What do you mean, a new PCN? A copy of the 3 yr old one? A letter about it?

Same as all the exact same threads posted this week...we assume all of you newbies with tedious (exactly the same) NPS letters have all been reading the forum and have been in touch with each other:

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP after the election, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.[/FONT]
