Ignored PCN - HELP

Posts: 5 Forumite
I've read the newbies forum and I'm still a little bit confused as to what I'm meant to do. When I first received the PCN from UKCPS I googled it and basically came to the conclusion that as the registered keeper I should ignore it.
The fine was sent through the post for over staying 12 minutes at Kingston Retail Park in Hull. I received a reminded letter today saying £130 is due in 14 days.. what do I do? I contacted Home Bargains and they're not interested because they don't own the car park..
It says I should have appealed within 21 days and that has now lapsed. Should I send the letter off and appeal anyway?

yes you can appeal anyway , keeping a copy
UKCPS will refuse it , even if it was on time they would refuse it, regardless , so ignoring it hasnt caused you any issues
the ideal solution is a landowner cancellation , nothing else will work
they have 6 years to take you to court, if they wish to0 -
Thanks! I will do, I'm having difficulty finding out who exactly is the landowner but will keep trying!0

ask the council who pays the non domestic rates
alternatively , you can pay the Land Registry a small fee
google search usually helps find the answer, especially for retail parks etc, it wont be the retailer, they are probably renting0 -
If you are a law student, then surely you should know, or have some idea on what you are dealing with?
any way these are not fines, and a quick google search brings this up

You'd like to think so but in my first year so hopefully I'll have finished by the time they take me to court. Unfortunately I'm yet to come across the module which states how to deal with parking charge notices.......
Yeah, that's the place0 -
UKCPS rarely do court these days, but that's not the green light for complacency, there again, not something to lose any sleep over.

It's contract law. You should cover that soon enough.0 -
Hi everyone, I've received a letter today from Debt Recovery Plus, saying if I don't pay they will recommend their client takes me to court. The client obviously being UKCPS. The letter also states that if I don't ring up then I'm agreeing I'm liable for it.
It's scary because I imagine people fall for these awful tactics to get people to pay.0 -
In your opening post you said you had read the NEWBIE. Did you go down as far as post # 4, which deals with Debt Collectors and how to deal? It starts off thusly: -'IGNORE THE DEBT COLLECTORS' STAGE0

That's not a Letter of Claim or a County Court Claim. Why not follow advice given?
