    Then why do people repeatedly and constantly say it is? And its umpteen more times more confusing than the two word phrase "ignore it".

    @Scrapit, why do your posts never add anything useful?

    The advice "ignore it" is very relevant and entirely useful to this situation. Absolutely.
    Ironically, your post Keith aint added nuffink, has it? At all.

    I'm mocking keiths attempt at trolling by pointing out the fact I've helped, he hasn't. That seems more than fair. Also why the excess question marks?

    Except that post four fully explains just why you ignore it and in the correct context.

    This board is however littered with examples of people who took “ignore” out of context at other stages of the process or who only read pre-POFA 2012 guidance/certain misleading threads and are now looking at a less fortunate outcome, or much harder work at mounting a challenge.

    Which is why any advice to ignore needs to be properly qualified.

    Keith does not troll, his advice is sound and he is a very valuable member of this forum.
    On the subject of trolling, I assume you have not read the FAQ's, there is a suitable section about trolling

    What are you sayin, the advice to ignore is incorrect? I think you'll find its wholly, absolutely and completely correct.
    Also, why do you think I need referring to the faq's?My questions are not frequently asked, they are usually of a poster, such as this one.

    Parking fines shouldn't be ignored, but previously they could be. Hence the confusion.
    This case is a foreign traffic fine that has been sold to a debt collector for a pittance in the hope that someone pays it. None of that is relevant, only two words are: ignore it.
