Hi All, My wife is in a panick now because I have come on here asking advice having been told by the Council to pay the fine. She thinks we should just pay up to let it go away she does not want to go to Court or get put on debt list etc. I have not let her contact them, as once you do the door is wide open for them to take advantage. A straight and honest request to you out there do you think we should give in to these parasites.

The date of notice was 24th March 2015 and for parking in disabled bay of Asda Leckwith Cardiff. of which my wife was entitled as it is where she takes her 98 year mother shopping once every week she cannot remember if she put the badge in the window or left it on the seat as her mother is very frail and has just gone into care home. So to be honest she always displays but there have been occasions when she has left it on the seat because of the situation with her mother.

Thanks, I have been given a Ref No. by them so it should be easy to follow up. I have been trying again & again to get through on the phone they must be busy today. It took ages earlier, I will try tomorrow. Just to clarify a few things.......... When the first letter arrived (by the way, I still have all documentation ) We have been receiving PPi, India phone calls, computer [problem]mers and [problem] mail constantly since donating on the street and had to change the phones to block them....... .... SO, with that going on and the fact that the letter was so amateur in its appearance. As described by a printer on this thread. I told my wife to ignore it. Then the WRIGHT HASSALL letters started, I still thought it to be a [problem]. ie "Right Hastle" !!! Then lastly the dcbi letter came and again poor copy which made me think of a made up form. My wife then became frightened and I found this site which had exactly the same problem as myself . All the time I had these doubts and to be honest I should have done more but with what we had contended with let it go So there is blame on me somewhere. Sorry to go on but now you have the full facts. Thanks again. Rob

Hi. I have been reading this thread with interest My wife has also been receiveing letters from a result of Parking in ASDA Leckwith Cardiff. Friday she recieved a letter "Notice of Debt transfere" from dcbl. for £160. This has gone down from the previous letters by £30 from Wright Hassle Solicitors. I have today contacted Cardiff Trading Standards and put through to the Advise Centre. I discussed the amateur forms and requests to them, (regarding parking in disable bay.) Their advice was that it was Lawfull and I had to Pay ?. Now I am at a loss what to do. ?
