Hi, I was wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar to me and could advise ? My girlfriend recieved a Penalty Notice, from a cleaning company who control the carparks where she works for not parking in a registered staff carpark. The fine was £50. I told her not to pay the fine, based on things I've read etc, and I wrote them a letter telling them that the claim was unlawful as it was on private property, and that they must prove she knowingly entered into a contract to park there etc etc . I simply had a letter back saying "refusal of appeal" and notices have continued to come through the post. I was happy to let this continue, and simply ignore them.What frustrates me, is that everytme a letter comes, its not even signed by an individual. The last letter she recieved is RED and says - FINAL REMINDER. It informs that the company will employ a debt collection agency to recover the costs. Personally I think this is scare tactics, though I know that debt collection agencies, add crazy amounts of fees to any form of charges. She is now starting to panic, thinking her credit history will be affected etc. I still say she shouldn't give in. I'd happily pay over the odds, at the expense of seeing how far things would actually go. Can anyone comment ?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I sent my first letter to halifax back in september enclosing £10 cheque and the request for 6 years worth of account details. I sent the letter recorded delivery and they cashed the cheque soon after. I have had no response to the letter and 28 days have passed since it was recieved. I am unsure of my next move now and am reluctant to call them as I would prefer all communication to be kept on paper. Lee
