SABA Parking Charge Notice - Surely something to be done?

LDast

It's not even a real penalty. It's a fake offered contract. Tell them you will only dispute this in the magistrates court and watch as they obfuscate and don't take you to court because a) they can't and b) they'd get no money from it even if were a real penalty notice.

Ignore everything and it will time out anyway. No one has ever been 'prosecuted' in the magistrates court for one of these fake PNs.

Since original post I have now received three follow up letters by post: two letters from ZZPS chasing up payment for the 'debt', and most recently a note from Moorside Legal who have been 'instructed by Saba Park Services to recover the outstanding sum of £170'. 

"We may be instructed to start legal proceedings against you unless you make payment in full either as a one-off payment or as part of an agreed payment plan." 

I am ignoring at this stage. Any advice on what to expect next in a typical scenario like this? 

Hi nochargebutchange
Your journey appears the same as mine - I got a debt collector's note first, then the initial Saba penalty notice, then a handful of letters from ZZPS and now a letter from Moorside Legal.  I'm curious if you have had any further interaction since your first Moorside Legal letter?

I have also asked advice from free traffic legal advice, my thread here if you are curious as to their (strong!) views on the matter:  Saba Parking Services - Railway parking site - debt collector before initial notice?

...and have you followed the advice you've received over on FTLA?

I'm in the process, yes, although intimidated by the prospect!

Intimidated by what? They hope you are low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree. You are now armed with information that explains your rights and the law. What do you think is going to happen?
