ok

Well I'm pretty sure that you are correct dx. They don't stand a chance. I park in this car park every day because I have a permit (just didn't display it one day). If this circumstance was turned down for appeal, I can't imagine a scenario where they would accept an appeal!?? I do need some guidance now though folks.

The POC Is as follows: Payment of Parking Charge Notice together with Administrative Costs asscosiated with its recovery. The defendant's vehicle XXXX XXX was parked in Contravention of the rules of the private car parking facility at XXXXXXX, York on 11/06/2008. Parking Charge Notice XXXX was issued to this vehicle on 11/06/2008. We are seeking a payment of money for all the full amount of due fees. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from 11/06/2008 to 15/12/2009 of £10.90 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgement or earlier payment at a daily rate of £0.02

Hi there. I posted a thread about this a while ago and haven't posted since as I thought that Minster Baywatch had given up on trying to claim money from me. To cut a long story short, I have a parking permit for the car park where I work. One day, I used a different car and forgot to put my permit in the window and therefore received a penalty charge. I appealed, saying that I could prove that I had a permit, but they weren't having it. I referred the debt collection agencies back to MB each time they wrote to me and all went quite for some time. Now, they have lodged a county court claim against me via Money Claim Online and the sum they are asking for has risen to £135 as they reckon I owe them 8% interest. This is getting ridiculous now.... Any ideas on what I should do?? Rob

Well they can get stuffed. I am not paying them a penny. Surely the Solicitors know that this is unlawful?

Cheers for that. It's now gone up to £140 becasue the solicitor is claiming additional fees for raising it and following it up on behalf of Minster Baywatch and Roxborough. The price has changed about 5 times!!! The casing point here is that I have a permit for this car park. I just forgot it one day!! How can they claim that I own them £140 considering that I have been parking my vehicle in that car park since March 2008!!?? Fools!!!!

Okdey dokey. I am simply going to ignore them Money grabbers!!! Thanks again

Thanks for the advice folks. The reason I am abut cagey about this is that I have spent quite a bit of time cleaning up my credit history. I don't want anything to adversely affect it at this stage. There are a number of templates that you can send to solicitors about this but you folks seem to think that ignoring it is the best way forwards. Is it not worth sending one of these letters?

So if i don't respond to the solictor, will they send the baliff's to my house? Should I really just do nothing!? I appreciate your help by the way folks

Ok so they have now passed this on to a solicitior who is threatening me with a bad credit rating, baliff's and all that jazz. Just ignore em huh??

I meant legal proceedings not criminal proceedings but I guess the message is the same. Ignore them........

So let me get this straight. If I just ignore the debt collection agency, they won't make good on their claim to pass it on for criminal proceedings right??

Then I guess I shall ignore them further then.
