APOLOGIES! No I'm not taking the P***, but I do have a problem reading!

so, after 'appealing' on grounds of the friend being unwell, can he now go back and ask the PPC to provide evidence that he was the driver?

Thanks for your replies. I can't name my solicitor as he is a client that I do accounts for and off the cuff type advice. I will keep advising my daughter's bf to ignore them:(

Hi I'm new to this forum, so apologise if this has been answered elsewhere, but............ My daughter's b/friend got a private parking ticket for being 15 minutes late (£70 if paid within 7 days increasing to £120). He did appeal, as the friend they were with was taken ill (pregnant and suffering a bit of heat exhaustion). They replied that they would not accept this. He has received another letter requesting the payment and now another letter from a debt collection agency saying that they have been in touch with the DVLA to ascertain that he is the owner of the vehicle, and also threating court action. From what I have read the advice would be to ignore these threats and let them take it to court as the judge would probably not pass judgment. I have also read that any charge should not be dispropropriate to the loss (it cost £1.00 per hour, so they have only lost 25p, plus a little extra for the loss of the space). I did however speak to a solicitor that I knew and he suggested that it should be paid as, although this cost is high the breach of contract law could also work in favour of the private parking company. Without going on any further (!) what would anyone advise? Thanks in advance
