    Parking fine

    After a bit of advice.

    Anyone got any experience with them. My mrs parked in ncp last year basically over stayed by 20 minutes(she paid for 3.5 hrs instead of 4). Have had a host of letters which have ignored.

    Now had a letter from Bwlegal threatening legal action its not a massive amount about £250. CCJS etc the original balance was 160

    Just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences the letters are all coming to me not sure if that makes a difference as not the person in question.

    Thanks for any advice.

    They say ignore them as they are not fines.

    But do some googling, these companies ARE winning cases for a few years now.

    The fines are coming to you because the car is registered in your name. The fact you were not the culprit is irrelevant.

    Never just ignore it. The least you should be doing is checking to see if it's part of an accredited trade association sending you a fine or not before then potentially ignoring it or taking further action.

    60 quid? Gutting!

    But at least that poor sod in Northumberland who must be facing bankruptcy by now won't be getting another pay up or else demand letter.

    That should teach you to always remember to attach the cloned number plates.

    Didn't realise that you had to pay for parking at the times and locations you generally park up...

    You've left it a bit late, but you can appeal as it is an extortionate amount.

    It's not a fine. Private companies can't fine you. It's a charge for breach of contract. You can argue that the charge is excessive - what would be their losses by you using the space and not paying? I doubt it would be £250.
