ECP Car Park - No Payment

Got a £100 invoice as a result of forgetting pay on the way out of an ECP car park (not retail).

I've read the newbies thread with a view to appealing as keeper and appealing to POPLA and a few recent ECP posts. I saw one that suggested no point appealing to ECP or POPLA if invoice relates to overstaying. I assume the same is true of not paying at all?

Do ECP tend to follow through with court action?

    Do ECP tend to follow through with court action?

    Yes …and more importantly, no.

    YES, you'll get a claim form but DCB Legal always discontinue. So no, they don't finish what they start and you'll pay nowt.

    🙂

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
