    Starbucks normally cancel PCNs, so try Twitter or Facebook to dump the complaint, so they are in the public spotlight.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    So I have finally had a response from Starbucks who say they can’t cancel PCN now because it has been passed to the legal department

    Absolute BS of course. But it's unlikely you'll be able to get them to change their mind, however, try to get them to confirm (in writing) that had the charge not got this far, they would otherwise have wanted it cancelled. 

    Could be useful later if this gets to a hearing. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Write bad stuff on their Facebook page.  Have you complained to your MP?

    OP - of course iuf there is a court claim she would have to attend court
    BTW your methods for dealing with her mail are terrible
    Absolutely g'teed to result ina Failure to Furnish charge - 6 points and £500 fine - if you dont get a grip on opening her mail more frequently
    If the police decide she needs to ID a driver, she gets 28 days to do so. With the months of delay you are engineering - which is all her fault, in trhe courts eyes - she will have committed an offence if they do so. She either changes the V5c, or you open her mail. No ifs or buts.
    @llw08 - @nosferatu1001 is right, you need to sort the mail issue out and do it immediately.

    As an aside, my wife is sometimes with her family - if anything arrives addressed to her that looks urgent, I'll text her to let her know asking her if she wants me to open it for her then tell her what it is.

    So Starbucks asked for PCN number to call parking company. They say that they need me to call as it’s with legal dept. Do I call and am I still able to challenge in court ?
