Hello again, just a quick update as you were kind enough to reply to my post. I have contacted the British Parking Association as they are mentioned in the correspondence from Legion Group and the BPA have informed me that Legion are a private company. Good news for me! I am currently ignoring all correspondence, even the bailiffs letters demanding £100. Thanks, Julie

Hi, I am unsure as to whether the post quick reply covers individual answers or gives a blanket answer! As you can tell I am computer illiterate and am therefore unable to get a copy of the ticket up on screen or follow the smashing instructions from dx100uk and others. Thanks to all again, Julie

Hi, thank you all for your answers. As it uses the words Parking and not Penalty I shall continue to ignore the letters! Will let you know how I get on. Thanks again, Julie

I have a parking charge notice of £25(originally) from LegionGroup. I had overrun my paid-for parking time. What I am trying to establish is this: the car park is 'owned' by knowsley borough council. I have spoken to them and they have said that they employ LegionGroup to manage the carpark. Legion issue the ticket, and the only mention of KBC is in the body of their letters to me where it says ...'.which is a car park provided by KBC'. I have spent hours on the internet and know that tickets ISSUED by the police or council will usually be enforced, but tickets ISSUED by private firms won't. So, do I ignore their threats or treat it as a COUNCIL issued ticket and pay up? This is my first time here, I have to pop out so apologies in advance if I keep anyone waiting for answers. P.S it's now gone up to £40. Thanks, Julie
