This looks like a PPS parking charge (not a pcn like a council would issue). In effect it is just an invoice & unenforceable as issued on private land. They then send you 'debt collection' letters to worry you into paying up (there is NO debt in the first place).

Your 'FINAL DEMAND' letter looks like a joke, IT SAYS 'Dear Sir/Madam'..!!!

How are they going to take you to court if they don't even know your name????

This is a well known parking scam originating from private land such as shop car parks and alley ways behind shops/warehouses etc...

If you get a letter or ticket that isn't issued by a council (PCN) or police/traffic warden (PCN or FPN) then it is most likely a PPS 'invoice'. The best you can do is ignore all letters and DO NOT WRITE TO THEM. You could write and complain to the land owner.

If you get clamped or towed by a PPS then you should pay by credit card under protest, to get your car released and then you can put a claim in with your credit card company or if you paid by cash you need to go to small claims court and issue proceedings against the PPS and land owner.

There are parking help forums if you search for them on google.

Good Luck.

Usual PPC bull excrement. Ignore and do not pay. Do not contact them any further. You should never write to a PPC or their faux debt collectors.

You're not screwed at all.

Even though CPS claim that you've admitted being the driver, the sign itself contains a bunch of problems.

I can't see anywhere in your letter that you admitted to seeing the signs so they cannot say that you agreed to any contract anyway.

Have a look through the Private Parking Charges guide in the stickies section and apply it to the sign.

IMV the terms on the sign fail under the on the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts. If they do take you to court this would be one part of your defense.

You could also argue the amount concerned is a penalty charge.

I still think that this is yet another threat and they'll eventually give up. It's up to you whether you continue to ignore or write a letter.

[lamma]

I agree with all that (and more besides). but lets us not lay out parts of the defense here. it may get a chance to be used in court... and to claim expenses upon victory..

[Barnsley Boy]

I don't see any point in any more writing. The CPS final demand is far more than anything they could hope to get as a court award anyway, so there is simply no scope to settle, even if the OP so wished. Either CPS will take the OP to court or they won't. As Lammma has said, there is no point in laying out the defence until CPS put forward their "claim"

trapping again....
