Euro Parking Collection Plc

Received a PCN notice from EPC for unpaid October 2019 toll charges on the Portuguese motorway along the Algarve (IC4/A22). We were advised by friends in Portugal that the tolls can only be paid, after 48 hours, at a Portuguese Post Office. So how would I be expected to pay the tolls on the last day in Portugal?
The big question is DO I HAVE TO PAY EPC Plc and their high admin costs? Any personal experiences? 
It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........
and it'll only take about another 100 years for mankind to really **** it up!!!!

    Ignore it.

    Search the forum.  Covered loads of times!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

  • Sorry I am new here.  I have received a letter dated 17/12/2023 from EPC plc for toll charges in Portugal from Sept 2019 at a cost of 12.93 but with Admin Fees and Costs they now want £118 paid before 14th Jan 2024.  This is the first I was aware of this and I assumed all cots were covered when I rented the car.  Please could someone advise what I should do.  I have never used this forum before and I am a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to looking for answers. When Coupon-mad says "Search the forum" I have and cannot seem to find anything. Help ???

    Type 'EPC' into the Search bar, hit Enter. Takes you to a second page, click 'Threads', click from 'Best Match' to 'Newest', click 'Categories', go to r/h side of page to 'Category', start typing 'Parking', drop down box will bring up 'Parking tickets, fines & parking', scroll down slightly, uncheck 'Polls' and 'Ideas', then click 'Filters'. That should give you a list of results. 

    Simples! 😄
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
