Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thanks so much again for this - have taken your suggested actions - my V5C is up to date so am exploring they haven't followed protocol as suggested.

However I did get an email bounceback saying:

Thank you for your email, we have received your email and will be back in touch with you as soon as possible.

PLEASE NOTE: any email related to Parking Charge Notices (PCN's) will not be responded too.

Any correspondence related to a PCN can be served via https://www.sipcarparks.com/appeal-a-parking-charge-notice-pcn or by writing to SIP Parking Limited, PO BOX 5450, Manchester, M61 0JX.

So I am going to follow up on their website as above.

Thanks

I received this letter and am weighing up my options.

Seems like I’m bang to rights as I have no ticket  and I’ve checked my bank statement and don’t appear to have bought one (unless it was cash)…but just a couple of things making me wary of paying it.

• I don’t have any letters notifying me of the original claim. And from this letter can’t see their evidence.

• I’m wondering why it’s taken them 31 months to try the courts. This could be absolutely normal though?

• The only way to make payment is through the claimants postal address? Again - could be normal but that seems very strange. Im not 85 years old and so don’t have a cheque book.

I know the “ignore it” advice for private companies is old hat, but just wondering if I should (a) crack on and pay it (somehow??), (b) whether I could say that I’ll give them the £100 charge and the court fee but not the £60 “debt damage” costs or (c) fight it in court (I would probably lose?)

Just seems a bit boilerplate with no evidence.

Thanks very much
