Hi JK - I think that is the crux of the problem though as I know that she will worry about these (albeit false) threats/letters. I am keen to find a way to avoid paying without the PPC continually sending mail to the registered keeper. I don't want to but I may have to initiate a letter with the PPC with my address details on so that they hassle me and not her.....?

Ps thanks for everyone's responses to this so far - it is really useful and much appreciated

This really does annoy me but if I can't think of a way to not pay without incurring more aggro for the registered owner then I think I may have to pay this

Hi Cab - thanks for this info - much appreciated! I am a little worried still though because I am not the registered owner that my firend is going to get hassled for this if I do not pay - I will feel awful if bailiffs turn up to her house for something that I have caused......

Hi, Thanks for the quick replies. I have read the ticket this morning and it doesn't actually say that they will revoke, but it does say this will contact the DVLA for her license details if not paid within 28 days. I have read various websites saying that these sort of PPC charges are unlawful (in this case it is not very well sign-posted at all) and not enforceable at all, particularly in this case as the registered owner wasn't the driver that got the ticket....? Any further advice? If I shoud pay then I am happy to do so but I just hate the thought of me being ripped off. Thanks Andy

Hi, I am hoping that I can get some advice. I was borrowing a friend's car today and she has received a parking ticket from Parking Control Services (not Parking Control Services Ltd) for £75 if settled in 14 days or £150 after otherwise they will revoke her driving license? This seems very unjust to me, and reading the thread not enforceable in any way. I have tried suggesting that she can dispute this stating that she was not the driver of the car that day, as these tickets are against the driver and not the owner - however this has understandably shaken her a bit and she is very keen that I pay this asap - can anyone advise? - this was in the Bournemouth area. Many thanks
