Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Horizon parking PCN letter, directly in the bin. Very odd to finally receive one of these from last Wednesday as I’ve been parking in the same car park for work for months now with no repercussions, so they may have finally turned their cameras back on in advance of retail opening back up. How many people do you think actually pay these things to make it worth the companies time.You'd be surprised. This crops up a lot on a local Facebook group and panics dafties into paying these cowboys, they are terrified of nobsensexlike it affecting their credit rating etc. The correct procedure is zero contact or acknowledgement, the debt is effectively written off after 5 years anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually take pleasure in explaining to folk that fucking these clowns off is the correct procedure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 After ignoring several letters about an 'offence' on 22nd June 18, and having heard nothing for over a year, we've now received a far more threatening letter from QDR solicitors of Leamington Spa, now asking for £182, and telling us that further ignorance will see them passing the case to their Scottish Legal Partner (their capitalisation, not mine). Continuing to dingy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Litt Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Maybe this is better suited for the quick question thread but can a parking charge notice from a private company affect your credit rating? I ask because my girlfriend's sent me a letter this morning not impressed after I got one of those horrifying letters when I was using her car for work. After telling her to stop being a fanny and chuck it in the bin she's now moved onto claiming it can affect her credit rating (with 3 exclamation marks!!!) Ideally I'd just like someone to point something out to me that I can send her that proves she's wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I got a ticket at a private car park (Fountainpark) which I’ve ignored and they’ve now sent me a letter from a debt recovery agency. Assume I’m OK to continue ignoring? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO credit agreement with this organisation and it absolutely cannot affect a credit rating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cost of pursuing a court action is more than will be recovered for a speeding ticket which is why it doesn’t happen unless there are thousands in charges. in Scotland as well there is no trespass law and private organisations can’t impose contracts on people for parking on land. it’s a scam. I have ignored many of these tickets over a period of 15 years. Only a parking ticket issued by a local authority needs to be paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second second bit is completely wrong. There is no criminal offence of trespass in Scotland but there is a delict of trespass. Private organisations can and do set contracts for parking on private land and the courts enforce these contracts. Nobody can impose a contract on anybody but you can enter into a contract through your actions.

On the basis that they have no proof you were the driver, you haven't admitted you were the driver and its a ticket for a single incident get it binned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
