Further Update - help required My case how now been forwarded from Excel Parking to Roxburghe Debt Collectors for the original sum of £60. The new letters says : "We are writing to you instead of our solicitors as the way you have treated this account is unacceptable. It is our intention to instruct our solicitors to commence legal action without further recourse to yourself. In the event of judgement being entered against you, we would apply to the court to enforce it by way of a Warrant of Execution. A warrant of execution would allow a baliff to attend your address and remove goods for sale by public auction and in your case wouls alert the court to all facts known to us including ownership of motor vehicles. This is your final opportunity - make payment immediately prior to legal action being taken You have seven days to respond !! What shoudl I do please ???

Hi there, Yes I have received a "Final Notice" letter from Excel requesting payment of the parking charge saying "as I have failed to pay it is now their intention to issue proceedings through the County Court to recover the monies plus any additional charges incurred through the Debt Recovery" and they have attached a "Draft Summons" The Claim Form/Draft Summons seems to have been issued in the Sheffield County Court for unpaid parking charge which is currently at £100 plus £30 court fee plus 8% ongoing interest. Although I informed them way back in January that I had changed my address and they have sent further communication to my new address this document and draft summons again was delivered to my old address. Cabt even get that right !!! Id be very much obliged for your suggestions as to what to do now even though I've follwed your advice all along and really want to continue to fight this

Hi Guys, Current update : I have ignored at least two further demands for money as suggested but today I received a draft summons from Excel Parking requesting payment. Should I continue to ignore this ? I thought I had no legal obligation to provide the drivers details and so how can they prosecute when they havent got that information ? Please help

Hi there, Latest update - I have ignored the last letter as suggested, I have now received their "Notice to Owner of intent to issue court proceeding" basically asking me to pay up or disclose the name of the driver using my car on the date the parking offence occured. "Do not ignore this notice" I am placing my life in your hands now guys !! should I continue to ignore these notices or what ??

Many thanks guys for your advice which I follwed and wrote to them informing them I was the registered keeper of the vehicle but they should direct their communication to the actual "driver". I have received their reply as follows, what is my best course of action.... "In response to your communication dated 15th January 09, we acknowledge your statement that you are the registwered keeper of the vehicle in question,however you were not the driver on the 12th December 08 when the parking contravention was committed at Foster Sq Retail Park in Bradford. In view of the fact we request you to provide us with the name and address of the driver in charge of the vehicle on said date so that we may pursue this matter of the outstanding charge accordingly. Pursuant to paragraphy 4.2 of the Pre-Action Protocol, we must advise you that this is a reasonable request in order tat we may undertake the early and full exchange of information about the prospective legal claim and to enable the driver the opportunity to avoid civil proceedings by settling the charge before commencement of proceedings. Failure to provide the information as requested may constiture a non-compliance of the pre-action protocols and could result in court proceedings being brought against the vehicle's registered keeper and judgement obtained for failing to adhere to said protocols and liability for the charge outstanding. Furthermore as the registered keeper of the vehicle you are legally required under the road Traffic Act to ensure that any vehicle legally registered to you is driven by a person to which you have given your consent and can verify that they are legally licensed and insured to do so. Please ensure you provide the information or payment of £60 no later than 6th February 09. Failure to comply could result in the issue of court proceedings whereby further cost's may be incurred. Help !! what do I do next cheers Ambrub

Hi all, Im a newbie to this forum but have seen the excellent replies given and I was just hoping someone could give me some advice on my case. I have received a Parking Charge Notice from Excel for parking in a disabled parking spot. This is a large retail parking spot with ober 300 free parking spots and its a free car park. On the day in question, a week before Xmas, I unintentionally parked in a disabled spot for no more than 10 minutes, but on my return to my car, I noticed the attendant from Excel filling in a parking ticket whilst stood ajacent to my car. I walked to my car, opened the door, and drove off quite calmly. I was under the impression that until a ticket had been formally served upon me or my car, I wouldn't be hearing from them, but today I have received the Parking Charge Notice for £60 with 14 days to appeal or face £100 fine. As far as I'm aware, there were no pictures taken and I dont think there is cctv evidence though im not entirely sure on the cctv. Could someone kindly tell me what my best course of action should be because im determined not to pay this fine. many many thanks What is my best course of action
