Fine from Civil Enforcment **HELP**

Hi all,
Is this a legit company?
Address-Civil Enforcement Ltd Horton House Exchange flags. Liverpool L2 3PF.
I received PCN letter on the 22nd March from stating that I failed to pay & display a parking ticket. I wrote an appeal letter along with proof of purchase of the parking ticket.
I had not heard back from the till yesterday of which I received a final warning letter stating that I have to pay £100.
I managed to get through to the company via phone and the lady stated that they had responded to my appeal via post stating the reason for the fine was because I did not put my registration details into the machine. Just to add, I did not receive that letter. How convenient!
I clearly remember putting in my details , plus the machine would not have issued me a ticket if I hadn't of done so.
I've been doing a lot of research on these dodgy companies and I noticed that forums have advised people not to respond. Should I have done?
What should I do now? :S
HELP!

Start by reading the Newbies Sticky at the top of this forum to inform yourself properly and with current advice.0

yes you should have responded , as keeper , which you did do
the problem now is you dont appear to have received their refusal with popla code
so in theory there is a missing letter with a popla code, that code may well have expired
so you may have to go into IGNORE MODE for 6 years unless they issue a court claim using MCOL within the next 6 years0 -
Many thanks for your reply.
I'm new to this so a bit unsure what the popla code or the MCOL . What does this all mean? :S
Will they go as far as sending bailiffs round or sending me to court? does this also affect credit ratings?0 -
try reading the NEWBIES sticky thread, it contains the acronyms and explanations , as does GOOGLE if you put the acronyms into google
post #2 did tell you to read that thread by the way
do you know if a popla code was issued and if so when did it expire ?
or is it still valid ?
no bailiffs until after you lost in court, and only if you did not pay up promptly
if you pay the court judgment (if you lost) , no CCJ and no effect on credit ratings either
its NOT PAYING a court judgment that results in a live CCJ and possibly bailiffs0 -
I will have a look on Google for the acronyms.
I am not sure if a popla code was issued or when it expires.
I have asked for the original letter to be sent to me. The lady informed me that I have to request this in writing...again, how convenient.
Shall I send another appeal letter against the final warning issued to me along with the request for the popla code?0 -

Same as here:

This will be won by robustly defending their small claim in a couple of months. No hearing, nothing scary.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Hi,
So you suggest I keep appealing ? When will it stop? What should I add to my appeal letter which will make them want to back off ?0 -
Landholder , as in the car park of where I was parked ?0
