    It's not a parking ticket. Its a request to pay a speculative invoice that currently carries no weight.

    Ignore unless you get a court claim. Ensure they have your correct address by writing to them asking them to ERASE (important word) your old address and replace with your current.

    As above, plus you should study the other recent OAK LEGAL threads on here over the last couple of months too

    As long as they have your current address for the service of papers, not an old address, ou can either

    1 respond to it by email using the LoC response template

    Or

    Ignore them for now

    But

    Do not ignore a Money Claim N1SDT pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL, if it arrives in the post, thats when you come back to this thread

    They unfortunately have 6 years to start a court claim and you are only 2.5 years in. It's not really old yet

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