    But the £170 they are asking for is a similar amount , so better to let a judge decide on legal grounds

    Of course it's stressful , but nobody would recommend paying

    If you lost in court , pay in full on your way out , typically £175 to £200 for a loss in court
    Eeek I don't really want to go to court :( 

    DRP cannot take you to court, although Premier Park can.

    I don't have a sister. :D

    I'll contact the landowner again. The threads are useful but with so many acronyms it can be really confusing to know which letters to ignore or not. It also says 'don't pay, don't ignore' which is contradictory in the video on the help page. Some of the comments here say that I am likely to receive LBC? Which is then legal action, which I am trying to avoid :S

    It's not in your control , you are a fish on the hook , they are playing with you , tiring you out , even though they can reel you in at any time , it's a process that they follow

    LBC is pre Court stage , you are not there yet , so the debt collectors are scaring you , but are powerless , no win , no fee !!

    A landowner cancellation is your best option , it ALWAYS is

    I don't know of anybody who does.

    Have a look at this short video...

    ...and then tell us what's scary about that?

    bear in mind that court nowadays is over a phone call or video link , from your home, as a conference call , rarely in person, due to covid19

    These cases are easy to defend, no CCJ risk and we even have a template defence.  Can't get simpler.

    Parking firms are not scary.  I think they are more scared of me and this forum generally...
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    The landowner said he can't help unless I can prove I put in the wrong registration number. He told me to appeal to Popla..

    I doubt that premier Park will give you a valid Popla code , so tell him to tell PP to either give you a valid Popla code or cancel the PCN
