Will take legal action or may take legal action....a world of difference. In two weeks it will have been a year since he NTK was put on my car....I'm still standing!

Still get calls from TNC but not as regular. Follow the advice offered on here, it's sound and sensible. Whereabouts were you parked (don't say exact street). How would they know it was you that was driving....?

Have you had the phone calls yet?

I parked there with a permit, it just wasn't showing.

Scotland.

Thank you for that, another call today so a letter is on the way making all the points shared here.

Thanks for that Crocdoc. I was parked at Springfield st, Eh 6 if that helps. Do you know if I am right about the timespan in sending a NTK?

I don't know where they've got my phone number from as I'm not listed in the phone book. The letter I have is from TNC Parking Services, acting on behalf of their client, P4 Parking. I think they are a debt collection agency with a 'parking services' division. The wording on the letter says '...their client P4 has instructed them to make recovery'. I read that a NTK has to be issued not later than 56 days after the NTD, since 7 months has elapsed since the NTD, and this is the first letter received, does that make their demands nul and void? Thanks to all for your advice.

Last September whilst visiting my daughter in Edinburgh, I parked without displaying a permit (not knowingly..I had placed it on the dashboard and assumed, as it was very windy that night when I parked and dark, it blew out of the car without me noticing). Anyway, at 7 o'clock on a Sunday morning a parking ticket was put on the windscreen asking for £70. I hadn't paid this and had no further correspondence about it until 2 days ago when I received a letter from a recovery agency, now wanting £140! The day after the letter arrived this was followed by a phone call from same recovery firm. My husband is the named keeper and he thinks I should pay it. What do you think...I am mystified why it would take them 7 months to follow this through . Should I not have had letters from the parking people themselves before involving a 3rd party? I would welcome any advice from those who know better than me. Thanks.
