Hi,

 

Got a parking ticket from Parking Eye for going behind farmfoods in hillsborough for 10 minutes back in october read on here how its a scam so ignored all the letters.

 

Kept getting calls from a mobile number so rang it back today and its from a company called Roxburghe who are a debt collectors!

Still seems the general consensus is to ignore it unless you receive proper court papers.

 

Only courts can issue fines

A Debt Collecting Agency cannot touch your credit rating

A CCJ would only be a black mark if you failed to pay it within 28 days

A CCJ can only be awarded against you if you fail to defend the case, or in the unlikely event that you ignored all of Pepipoo's advice

I had the fine from excel, phone calls from roxburgh, and letters from graham white, told them to take me to court, and i would await there letter informing me of date etc. Other 'collectors' from roxburgh told me they would come to my door and kick my face in, I told them they knew where I lived and to give me a few hours notice so I could get home from work. None of the above happened. They use bullying tactics to try and pay you a non-eforceable parking charge..not fine. Only councils/police can issue parking fines

It is generally a scam. However, this doesn't give you the right to park anywhere on private land without consequence! If that was the case, you could leave a car in all manner of antisocial locations. It sounds like you may have parked where their deliveries go, and had you disrupted this, they might be able to claim costs against you.

 

However, this being the normal PPC companies (and their regular associates), it's more than likely that there is no reasonable claim, just a desire to bully money out of you.

Do keep ignoring them and they will go away. Debt Collectors have no more powers than you and I. And anyway it is only a person on the next desk. Type Pa

 

Only respond to sealed court papers - usually from Northampton.

 

The letter chain you can expect to receive is here:
