Athena ANPR LTD Civil parking charge notice - help

[Suziewoozie]

Hi - I had one of these tickets back in August 2013 and did what everyone suggested on several forums (ignore) and today I have received a very strangely pleasant letter from somebody telling me that they may take me to court to recover costs and that whilst costs are minimal now, they could escalate if I do nothing.

 

Thing is, I wasn't actually driving the car, my husband was but there is some wording to indicate that I may be liable for costs regardless of this fact.

 

Do I ignore or do I contact (I have very generously been given 14 days to reply)

 

Thanks

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

The advice to ignore is no longer valid but the chance of them actually taking court action is slim.

 

Now, you have ignore this for this length of time with no repercussions so you could risk it and continue ignoring. You could send a letter denying any liability to them and for them to prove otherwise.

I think I might do the latter for peace of mind.

 

Thanks

Hello Suzie,

I have had a number of tickets from these muppets and ignored every one of their threatograms. However, I live in Scotland and it is still ok to ignore them. The situation is differnet in England and Wales where you cannot really ignore anymore.

I am sure that you will find specific advice for your situation on the forum.

Please do not make any contact with this company until you have got specific advice for your situation if you live in England/Wales.

However, If you live in Scotland then file the letter in the bucket.

Kindest Regards and best wishes

Ignore them, they are too late with their offer and threats to pursue anyone other than the driver and they have to prove who that was. You dont have to tell them anything so ignore the maybe's and could do's as to answer only encourages them.
