    Doesn't matter if it's right,  just ignore the powerless debt collectors letters and texts etc

    Study the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum,  especially post 4 in it

    Ps, it's definitely not a fine,  magistrates issue fines, not happened here,  private parking companies cannot and don't issue fines

    You just ignore them. Nobody pays £170.

    No worries.

    thanks for your comments but the point i am making is that I sent in my appeal on 14th july and they rejected it on the 14th july which is obviously impossible

    Regardless,  it doesn't change anything 

    Which parking company   ?

    Ignore the powerless debt collectors letters

    There is no genuine appeals process. They don't read them and everyone gets the same templated rejection. Why would they voluntarily give up £100?

    Sounds like SolutionLabs but they are not a PPC. Show us both sides of the NTK.

    We don't need to see the debt demands.
