Private parking tickets / Re: Ignoring a parking charge notice

Thanks so much for your quick reply. All future mail will be opened promptly. The agency is Debt Recovery Plus and they say we are in the 3rd of 6 stages. the next stage is DRP seeking Pre-legal resolution followed by Recommend legal action. The final stage is county court judgement.
If the car was parked over the time limit by 24 minutes I don't see how it can be justified. I'm also worried the debt will mount up whilever the letters are being ignored. Thankyou.

Private parking tickets / Ignoring a parking charge notice
« on: June 23, 2025, 05:04:19 pm »
Hi all.

My son is the registered keeper of a car that received a parking charge notice on 31/3/25 by euro car parks for staying 2hrs 24mins when the limit was 2hrs. He never opened the letter, thinking it was spam. He received a 2nd letter from euro car parks, again (stupidly) ignored. When a 3rd letter came 2 days ago he opened it. The 3rd letter was from a debt collecting agency saying the debt has gone from £100 to £170. The initial debt was £100 reduced to £60 if paid within 28 days. If I'd known I'd have paid £60 after the 1st letter.
Is it possible to ignore the letters as they're not registered post, saying we never received them ?
£170 is a lot of money to pay and the letter says the next stage is £280 which is scary.



Btw my son is in his first year of teacher training, visiting schools across the county and it's been work/sleep for him the past 8 months. He doesn't want a ccj on his record, especially when he eventually wants a mortgage.
