  1. My advice would be not to pay. Follow the links if you're unconvinced, especially the one to Martin Lewis's site, but everyone seems to be in agreement that PPS have no right to charge you a fine. Since July when I had a 'fine' taped to my windscreen, I've been sent a series of increasingly threatening letters, followed by two letters from debt collectors. (Be prepared for that!) Then... nothing. If it says 'Parking Charge Notice and not 'Penalty Charge Notice' it seems these charges have no status in law, and should be ignored. Best wishes
  2. Hi, I parked in Exeter on Saturday 16th July, at the Victoria Yard car park, and had an experience almost identical to that of Jeremy Evans, back in February. I paid and displayed and when I returned (within the time period,) I found a £100 parking fine had been taped to my windscreen. I think I must have parked in the exact same spot from what Jez says, and can confirm that such notices that were on display were ambiguous and there was nothing obvious to indicate that I'd parked in a reserved space, (such as a sign saying Reserved Space for example!) The penalty of £100 (pay up within 7 days and they'll reduce it to £75,) seems exorbitant, and well above what a council would normally charge. I've read the helpful advice of Coupon, but I was just wondering whether Jez, or anyone else in a similar situation, has had any problems with PPS since February, or whether they really do give up with their claims after a period of time. Thanks Mike
