Anyone else still being pursued by Graham White? In addition to the two letters, which I received back in June, I have had two phone calls - one in August, and another one this week. Obviously I'm ignoring them...

Have just this morning had a formal solicitors' letter which is entitled Notice of Intended Legal Action and tells me that this is a notice of intended litigation before legal proceedings are issued in the County Court. They have added £142.25 to the additional costs of £85. Am I still OK to ignore it? It's getting more scary now.

Thank you very much - it's added to the Ignore pile!

An update - I've just this minute received a letter from a debt collection agency saying I now owe £85 and if I don't pay or provide a valid dispute within 7 days they will pursue the matter with or without my co-operation. They say wthey will pass it to their solicitors who will review the case for potential legal action. The only thing I have done in this case was to make an appeal to Car Parking Partnership who turned it down. Should I still ignore this? Thanks in advance.

Hi again, I have tried my best to read the rest of this site but am still looking for a bit of reassurance that I'm OK to ignore things. Mine was the Keele Uni ticket for parking in the wrong area. I have just this morning received a "Pre Legal Notification" from Car Parking Partnership telling me that my balance of £50 is due within 14 days, and that if not, the case will be passed on to a Debt Collection Agency who may commence enforcement proceedings via the County Court. They ask me to consider the implications of this: interest will be charged on the overdue amounts, court fees and solicitors costs will also be incurred. a county court judgement will be placed on public record and with all major credit reference agencies which would of course seriously effect [sic] my credit status and could result in difficulty obtaining credit in the future, and if the court judgement were to remain unsatisfied a warrant of execution woudl be issued and the court bailiff instructed to collect the outstanding monies or goods to the full value of the claim. Further court fees would also be incurred at this stage. Am I still OK to just file under 'ignore' and is this all really not true? The issue I'm struggling with a bit here is that unlike many other cases posted here they do seem to have followed most of the rules (notices were posted, etc) and they have a photo of me parked somewhere I shouldn't have been. I'm happy if I know I've got the rules on my side, but obviously am getting a bit concerned about this. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, I can't figure out rapidly how to make the scan larger - essentially it is a notice with my name and address on it (blocked out on the scan) saying that as the registered keeper/driver/hirer on the date I now owe £50 for the civil parking notice. I can either pay in full or challenge, and in large capitals it tells me that "failure to pay may result in Car Parking Partnership instructing a debt collection agency to collect any sum due. The debt collection agency may commence proceedings against you in the county court and obtain a county court judgement agianst you. this may affect your ability to borrow money or obtain credit. A warrant may then be issued to county court appointed bailiffs to recover payment. You will also become liable for the additional fees of the debt collection agency, the county court and the bailiff." Literally ignore? Just grit my teeth and hope they don't pursue it? I'm willing to give this a go.

Hi, I've been reading this all through and it's very helpful but I'm in a bit of a quandary about what to do. I have a parking 'notice' from my employer, Keele University, issued because I parked in a restricted area (a residents' area where I am a non-resident staff member). This was on a day where the car parks were overflowing due to closures/building works/a special event, and the security manager at Keele has conceded he does not understand why I was issued with a parking notice under the circumstances. He also admitted that the private company do not always check with him. However, the fact is that I was parked somewhere I shouldn't have been, I left a note in my car explaining why, and there is photographic evidence on the Car Parking Partnership website (photos of my car and the signs indicating that it's a restricted area). I appealed, explaining the circumstances, and my appeal was turned down. Then I found this site.... I now have a letter from CPP with my full name and address indicating that I owe the full amount (£50) within 28 days (which is in a few days time). I've scanned it and attached it here. They appear to have followed all the correct procedures on this document (postal aaddress etc.) although this was the first letter that indicated a postal address. They also have my title down as not the title I appealed under (I appealed as Dr, and their first letter was addressed to me as Dr but the current one says Miss, not sure how they would have been able to check that). Needless to say, I don't want to pay it. The letter says I can appeal, but I presume having appealed once unsuccessfully this will be unsuccessful again. I'd very much appreciate advice on what, if anything, to do. Many thanks!
