    You don't have any fines.

    You won't be paying.

    Obviously some letters went to an old address so you must put that right first. Did you forget the update the address on your logbook?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Was it wrong address on logbook or were you victim of this?

    So many people don't receive 1st/2nd pcn but the £170 payment due letter often manages to drop through letter boxes. PPCs always claim their letters were sent though offer no evidence to prove this. A letter's issue date is not it's sending date nor does it prove the letter was sent.

    Since PPCs CHOOSE NOT to provide evidence of their posting date and delivery we must continue to press gov to ensure they do. Please sign/share these petitions.

    Require communications from Private Parking companies to be traceable/trackable. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/652355

    Immediately Reintroduce Private Parking Code of Practice. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/660922

    Thanks. Good luck.
