Hello my daughter received a letter from Civil Enforcement Ltd. (never heard of them).  Apparently she overstayed in a fast food drive thru car-park.  It says on the letter the maximum free parking period is 90 minutes. She didn't see a Pay and Display sign or a notice.  Not to say there is not one.  Does this have to be paid?  Any advice on next steps greatly appreciated.

    All answers are in the NEWBIES thread. Nobody here would pay it.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Of course. Ignore completely.

    Read the Consumer Council advice.

    Hi. I have been scouring the Counsumer Council Northern Ireland website for the last 25 minutes but I can't find anything that lets me believe I can ignore it here in Northern Ireland.  Pretend you are dealing with a simpleton, could you point me in the right direction please?
