Yep, thanks guys. Since it's camera operated, am I at risk of using this car park again in this manner? (I.e. overstaying time allowed.)

Okay, okay. Can someone explain how the camera works then? It seems the cameras are at the entrance and exit of the car park. How does the system match the license plate of each incoming and outgoing car? Unless it's done manually?

Hey again, I can't figure out how they manage to get these photos, do they use a sensory camera that takes snapshots when movement is sensed, or is there someone watching on the other end the whole time!? Anyway, Parking Eye sent a notice with pictures, can they identify who the driver is that way? I'm happy to just ignore as I have done with other PPC in the past, but was just checking.

I got it, I got it. So what if they send a letter saying .... JOKES! Sorry if I seem stupid, but I've moved on from being worried, now just being super curious. I'm fine, thanks.

Okay thanks, I was under the impression that I will have to answer the police if they ever do ask (I acknowledge the fact that if the PPC found out who the driver was, it wouldn't help them much anyway), no? Ah, the blocking feature, I don't think I can cos it's an extra chargeable-feature on my provider which I never use to justify having. I won't pick up the phone when they call next time.

Hey again, The PPC phoned us and spoke to someone else who was at the house. I've yet to speak to that person to know what exactly the PPC said, but someone else who was there also said the PPC threatened to tell the police.... I can't see why that would help, UNLESS, the police also take their side and ask me 'who was the driver' question which I'll legally need to answer (I presume). How often do PPCs even ring up houses? Should I be prepared for something bigger than just a few letters now? Thanks in advance.

I understand honeybee, but was just brainstorming and I like thinking about these things, lol. I'm not getting worried or anything, don't mind that. But yeah, is it likely they could have picked me up on a camera? How does it work if they did, would they not have mentioned it to me if the had photograph evidence of me? Again, these are not worried questions, just genuine questions.

Ok. I've been thinking, since it says the reason I was 'charged' was because I "left the estate" and I was sure there was no 'officer' there, does that mean they saw me on a CCTV camera? Does that also mean they might have caught who was driving? Also, on the debt collection paper, it says the reason was cos I 'exceeded the time limit'... which was not the reason given by officer hence not ticked on the notice... Advantage for me somehow?

Okay, got my wish! Received a letter from Roxburghe Debt Collectors stating the total amount is 119 quid now. I lol'd at the last line: "If you were not the driver at the time, please tell us who was driving by completing the details below." Reassure me, ignore? Whats next for me?

It's been a month and a week now, and no letters yet. When should I be getting them? Really want to read some of those letters...

Oh, wow. I feel kinda guilty for these poor guys now. Anyways, thanks for all the help you all. I'll get back to yas if I have any more concerns. I'll keep yous updated too.

So the store don't even have to pay at all, usually?

Yeah, I had a look before, couldn't see Topher Limited on there. I'll see what I get.

Haha, that's reassuring. Now I'm mildly curious on how their offices work. Like, isn't it quite embarrassing for the people behind the computer screens to just say 'Oh, we sent this person six letters already, but to no avail. We shall now give up" ? I would've gotten it if it were all automated, but the fact some human involvement is required to even see what's next on their Threat-0-grams is quite sad. Buncha bullies!

Also, can someone link me to a thread where someone successfully escaped PPC and their threats?
