    How can we stop people posting that they ''didn't agree to pay''... too many people focus on a piece of nothing about how contractual signs 'work' and we have to answer it every time.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I see no difference to the hundreds of cases we see here every week.
    You were scammed just like everyone else that comes here.

    What happened when you complained to your employer and the landowner? This is always your starting point. 

    What does your employment contract say, if you have one, about parking, permits, unregulated parking scammers, parking scamvoices, paying unregulated parking scammers, and court claims? Ask your employer and the landowner for a copy of their contract with the parking scammers that is capable of making an employee liable. 

    If you are a member of a trade union, then get your rep involved. 
    The above ( also the bit ive made bold) is key, i would also be looking to deal with this during working hours at the employers expense, as its a works issue cause by the employer allowing an un regulated private company to harass its own employees
