Hi

I wonder if anyone be able to help, I'm posting on behalf of my father who a number of years ago (May 2011)received a PCN from Excel parking, at the he ignored this (he actually was only parked for less than 5 minutes before he returned to find him being ticketed-he hadn't realised it was a payable carpark as when he realised he returned)

He today received a letter from Rossendales Collect stating that the debt has been sold onto them and they can offer a reduced payment of £100 and in accordance to 'something' act they can recover debt up to 6 years. (unfortunately I don't have the letter-my mum and dad are worried) Im hoping to reassure them.

Rossendales haven't included the date of the 'offence' in the letter nor does it ask who was the driver at the time. should my dad ignore, write to Rossendales asking for dates etc or pay up??

Many thanks in advance.

Sorry have just phoned my mum-dad was parked in disabled bay and displaying his blue badge-when he spotted that it was a payable carpark he returned thinking he may have to pay. Then he spotted the attendant who said that the badge wasn't clearly displayed enough

Was the original ticket from the Council or a private company. Rossendales Collect are just a common or garden Debt Collector with very little powers.

Hi he was parked at a retail park-the ticket was from a company called Excell. (I think they are a private company rather than instructed by the council?)

Think I see a pattern emerging. Wonder if Rossendales have bought a bucket load.

You can tell him to ignore them or respond by saying the debt is denied in its entirety.

In truth these pre nov 2012 lemon debts will never get very far and your father doesnt owe a penny as the law allowing people to chase the keeper didnt exist at the time.

Thank you I will pass this onto him. Odd though that Rossendales doesn't include the date of the 'ticket'. If he replies should we mention that we have no recollection of the event as they have failed to include date/time?

Many thanks
