BUZZ BINGO BARNSLEY - PCN NOTICE

Posts: 18 Forumite
Hi sorry I am new to this so please no hecklers.. CP Plus Ltd had issued a PCN in Barnsley. My daughter was driving the car, it is registered in my name. I now have a letter from DB Legal Ltd advising will commence legal proceedings. I am in Scotland and the parking notice was in England. What are the legalities of this, also they seem to have sent to my new address but the car was registered under my old address as is my drivers licence. Wondered how they got my new address. Is this a legal letter they have sent for £170 or can I just ignore it. It was because my daughter was visitng a friend and they went to Buzz Bingo and there was nowhere in sight to pay so she thought the parking was free and then received a letter through post saying she had to pay the £100 charge. Looking for some advise please

The good news is they won't litigate in Scotland - no chance.
Just adapt the 'Specsavers' sarcastic reply linked in this reply to someone else in Scotland:

PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Whilst they won't litigate in Scotland, why is your DL and V5C still under your old address? Is your old address in Scotland? If your old address is in England, do you have access to that address or will someone there forward mail to you?KKILP said:Hi sorry I am new to this so please no hecklers..

If the old address is indeed in England and you don't have access to it or anything sent to you there, they could apply for a default judgment that would certainly have an affect on your credit rating anywhere in the UK.
Do you realise that by not updating your DL and V5C that you risk getting a real fine of anything up to £1,000?1
