I've only just found out today that Civil Enforcement Ltd don't own the car park 

Of course they don't.  They never do.  

Just ignore them.

COMPLETELY IGNORE £170 DEMANDS.

Come back next year if you get a court claim. Easy as pie to defend CEL claims.  Credit rating utterly unaffected.

I'm getting a bit of a panic on here. I have had a letter saying I now owe £170.
Plus costs!
I tried paying for parking but the app wouldn't allow it for some reason. So I left. Now the letters..
There is absolutely no way of getting hold of them to speak to them.
What on earth do I do.
I did appeal without success, but I refuse to pay these theives!

No need to panic. The good folk here will guide you in the right direction. They are very knowledgeable but you have to be patient as they are also very busy people. Follow their suggestions and you will be fine. In the meantime read as much as you can in the Newbies thread. It's a bit of a steep learning curve to start with but do not be afraid. You are in the right place.

I don't understand. You've quoted my advice where I already told you - in capital letters, to leave you in no doubt - to totally ignore the laughable £170 threatograms.

Yet you tell us you are panicking because you've got one or more of those letters. These letters are even shown in pictures, where we laugh at these threatograms in post 4 of the NEWBIES FAQS thread.

Did you miss those images and advice?

Why on earth are you trying to engage?

Still unsure that we are right? Just click on the words underneath the little red 'MSE link' in the small 'Parking Ticket Appeals' banner at the top of this page which leads to the MSE Guide to fight PCNs.

Same info is shown in both this forum and in that Guide, as regards the debt recovery letters being a futile stage and ignoring these demands being risk-free as long as you don't miss or ignore a Court Claim (easy to defend). Consistent advice here is easy to find and not just from random strangers. The MSE Guide is official 'Martin Lewis backed' advice.
