Thanks to you both for you advice. So very very helpful. Lets hope this shuts them up. We can beat these companies together!!!! Will let you know how it goes.

Hi Guys, am new to this site but I too have been subject to a Private Parking Ticket! Hope you can help. I received a parking ticket in a retail park from Excel parking. I read through the helpful advice on this website and ignored the ticket. They subsequently sent me a letter saying that I hadnt paid within the given period and was now subject of a fine of £100 + court and solicitors fees if this went to court. I sent them the letter as suggested by Bernie the Bolt and it read: Dear Sirs, Re: Your letter dated XXXXXXXX, Reference XXXXXXXX. I acknowledge receipt of your captioned letter. It seems that you have got my details from the DVLA and I confirm I am the keeper of the vehicle in question. You need to take this matter up with the driver concerned. In the meantime I absolutely deny your claim that the amount claimed, or any amount at all, is due to you from me. Yours faithfully I have today received a reply from Excel to this letter stating that I must provide them with the details of the driver according to paragraph 4.2 of the Pre-Action Protocol before 5th September to aviod further preceedings. I have never heard of this protocol being referenced in any of the posts on this thread and I am confused as to whether it applies or not. Also, I am right in thinking that as this is a civil matter is it not covered in the RTA, section 172 and I have no obligation to provide these details? I was also going to mention in my reply to them that this is causing me increased stress and anxiety and quote Section 40 and the Protection from Harrassment Act. Please can someone help me and advise me of the approach I should take. Many Thanks Loza
