PCN National Parking Enforcement 3 minutes 1 second in a parent and child bay with child in back..

That is just another useless debt collector letter that you have already been advised to ignore. It means nothing and is designed to get low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to poop their pants and pay the scammers.

@B789 thank you, and this is, too, my stance to the gullible recipient; if and when it does proceed to LBC, however, I may be in trouble!

I doubt you are in trouble.

Why does anyone think they are in trouble with a parking ticket

Because if it is taken to curt it is I solely that will have encouraged not paying it, and incurring a potentially far higher charge

No, that's not right.

They are currently demanding £170.

The most they'd get in court, in the unlikely event that the PPC win, is c£200.

Is said unlikelihood based on the length of the alleged parking event not exceeding the five-minute consideration period in English contract law, the absence of signage at the entrance and the illegible signage within the carpark or something else?

All of the above! Those are all good points.

And the added £70 wouldn't be allowed because it's false and exaggerated, as exposed by the Government 5 weeks ago in the draft Impact Assessment published in readiness to complete the regulation of this rogue industry.

So the removal of the £70 'extortion' (Government description) pretty much cancels out the small court fees.  If the D lost.

Which they wouldn't.

Grizebeck

Stop worrying about court

@Grizebeck I do try to be assuaged - dual psychological disabilities of PTSD and anxiety mean that, unfortunately, extrapolation and disaster thinking come somewhat with the territory! I will continue to try to stave off payment from the recipient of this invoice.
