  1. Hi All, I got a ticket at Superbowl in Leigh also. My criminal barrister friend who has got herself off several parking tickets as well as her clients has advised that this company has no legal right to issue tickets or demand money. She recommends NOT contacting them at all and says that they will hound victims with threatening letters, but do not respond to any of them. Here is an excerpt from the email she sent to me. 'If you are prepared to brazen it out and NOT respond to them in any way whatsoever (ie so they don’t even know whether you ever received the letters) it is almost certain that they will not take it any further. They will try it on and try and frighten you into paying though, once they have the address from the DVLA. But they do not have the same powers as a council traffic warden. You haven’t committed any traffic offence. Any dispute with a private parking firm is contractual only. They can’t send in the bailiffs for example, unless they take you to court (unlikely), they win the court case (extremely unlikely) and then you don’t pay whatever costs etc the COURT imposes. (So if anyone turns up at your door demanding payment for this, they are debt collectors – they might as well be collecting for the Salvation Army as they have no legal rights whatsoever, although they may well pretend they are bailiffs (who can only act on the orders of a court) in which case you can say you’ll call the police and report them for impersonating a court official – not a real offence, but it should do the trick.) They can’t ‘fine’ you in legal terms. They can only go to court, under contract law, to reclaim any money they have LOST as a result of you parking on their land – and they can only do that if there is a valid contract in place first. ' Hope this helps you all. Please keep posting on how you are going on with thisBy the way what do you mean by 'PPC'? Thanks...go get 'em
