No. Ignore the debt wasters. Completely.

Read the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread.

Perfectly safe to ignore these letters.

Come back if they ever try a small claim but in the meantime please complain to the landowner.  They can cancel this for you with one email.

Whos car park was this?

Was this a pay and display car park, or a max stay x hours or you will charged £xxx set up?

A few things in your favour:

1: Frustration of contract, the vehicle broke down and couldn't leave

2: Waiting is not parking http://parking-prankster.blogspot.com/2014/03/waiting-for-space-is-not-parking.html

   Once you returned to the vehicle and it broke down it was no longer "parked" but broken down/immobilised

You will not be paying a penny, again, please answer the below:

Motherwell is in Scotland, so the standard advice seen in all other Scottish threads applies.

Ignore it.

The place cannot be Council owned, you must be mistaken on that assumption.  Councils can't use private firms to issue false £170 extortionate demands.

Laugh at the letters and just collect them if 'PLAN A' fails to work (see the NEWBIES FAQS thread).
