Trace Enforcement Group

Hello SoBo. Has anyone had any dealings with Country Wide Parking (CWP) Management Ltd and Trace Enforcement Group regarding parking fines? If so, what was your experience? I went over by 12 mins as it was a cold icy January morning and I was trying to demist the car before heading off (it's a banger). Went online to the option to appeal once I received the letter from CWP and didn't hear anything back. Next thing I know, started receiving letters from Trace saying I had to pay £170. It's happened twice, a week apart. They don't seem to answer their phones.

In a nutshell (nut being the operative word) YOU IGNORE TRACE. You don't owe £170, you are being scammed. TRACE are 100% POWERLESS and can do nothingMesV said:Hello SoBo.

Don't be disturbed by the grandure name .... Trace Enforcement Group ? At the end of the day they are just bog standard debt collectors that latch onto the parking industry
In the real world, not LALA land, you just laugh at their letters and let them waste their time because that's all they can do2 -
You're not trying to phone Trace are you?!Surely not... STOP!
