    Hi, the above has happened to me this week, no originally fine letter received & now £170 debt collector letter dropped ! Did you manage to resolve this ? If so - how ? Please help ?
    Thank you 
    There's clearly no fine.

    And no action to take. Unless the PCN went to an old address due to the common oversight: failing to update your V5C when you moved? If so, then obviously you need to put that right.

    Nobody panics or pays £170 to anyone.

    Stop reading old threads from months ago, and no replying here.

    You seem to have missed reading the MSE Guide to private parking tickets (link, top of page) and/or the NEWBIES FAQs thread.

    See my signature. Look vvv
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Check your V5 address is correct.

    Common scam though - "forgetting" to send out the £60 letter but sending out a £170 letter means they more than double their money if the recipient is foolish enough to pay.
