Dear G24 Hater hope this reply isnt too late for you, and that you havent paid anything to G24. The only thing you have done is admit that you were the driver. My gut feeling is that you should just start the radio silence now and ignore all letters. I got five letters, about one per month, I started looking forward to each one, with their pathetic attempt to make then look legal and frightening, by changing the font colour to red etc. ha ha what a joke. Anyway my sixth letter never arrived and they have not written to me for 3 months now so I think they have given up. I'm sure they will give up on you too. You have to assess whether it is financially or operationally worth their while attempting to take you to the small claims court, which they may lose as it is not legally enforceable. I very much doubt it, they will give up on you and concentrate their efforts trying to frighten some other person to paying up. good luck. a fellow G24 Hater.

Dr xxx. Don't forget that the car was photographed and they cannot prove that the registered keeper was driving at the time. So let's assume that you had lent the car to someone else in which case you as the RK had no contract with them. So for all sorts of reasons it is therefore not legally enforceable. I had my 2nd letter marked Final Notice in January which again Ignored and nothing since. Letters up the ante with threats but don't b scared.just look forward to all their daft attempts which are costing them admin and postage.

Stanny I'm pretty sure that G24 would only pursue/hassle the Registered Keeper at the time of the so called 'offence' and not the new RK that you PX or sell the car to. Also it's the person and not the car that they are after! I wouldn't even bother saying anything to the purchaser of your car. It's inconsequencial in any case as you are not liable to pay anything. good luck!

Stanny, tell your dad to read some of the comments on this forum if he needs reassurance that you wont get a visit etc. I am a couple of threatening letters ahead of you, and I'll be your your early warning system as I would get a visit first (which of course will not happen). I've got myself into the mindset of looking forward to the next nonsense letters, and G24's pathetic attempts to intimidate people into paying up what is not legally due. keep us up to date. Just for your info so you get a sense of timings and frequency of letters etc - my alleged parking event happened on 16 Dec, the first letter sent to me called 'Contractual Parking Charge Notice' was dated 23 Dec, which offered a reduced charge from £75 to £50 if I paid within 14 days of the issue notice letter. Of course I didn't pay (as recommended by all the friends on this forum), I got my second letter on 12 Jan, telling me that the full £75 was due (cheers G24! but I will be ignoring this letter and all others of course). I should be due for another 'fierce' letter soon, so will keep you posted. CAG members say that a max of 6 letters are sent, then they dry up completely. I'm looking forward to collecting the whole set! lol! It's just not worth it for G24 to keep on paying postage etc, and as Scooby Doo says, why would they risk going to court only to lose their case, which would cost G24 even more money. They will just move on to weaker victims. Please don't pay G24 any money!! If it makes you feel better, put the money to one side and treat yourself when the letters dry up.

I felt brave and parked in the same car park yesterday, i.e. that is the site of the current pending parking charge, and of course there was no problem, in any case I returned within the 2 hour limit. But I had a good look at the sign when I got out of my car. I was amazed to see mention of a second 'contractual fee'mentioned on the sign in addition to the £75 overstay charge. It said that a £20 charge would be levied for a 'drive through' whatever this means. This car park has one way entry and exit points, surely they don't expect to impose a £20 charge if a car enters, cannot find a space, then has to leave to find parking elsewhere? Going by what has been said b4 on this thread, it would not be legally enforceable anyway, but I'm just amazed at the cheek of these cowboys!!

I shall do just that, and make a contribution once my letters stop coming!

Thank you ManxRed. Just to confirm, I was referring to income G24 are hoping to gain from these false Penalty Charges. the Car park I refer to gives 2 hours free parking, and I will of course try not to exceed the time limit in future.

Thanks to all of you who have shared info on not responding or paying these clowns and I am in awe of those of you who have treated G24 with the contempt they deserve. If they had been current during Charles Dickens' era, he would have included them as an examples of the dregs of society I'm sure. I got a recent Parking Charge Notice and have received two letters so far, I find myself looking forward to the next ones! lol. A question for you CAG warriors. Should I risk parking in the same car park where my original heinous crime was committed (whilst I ignore all the letters) or do you think it will ring extra warning bells at G24 and instigate some sort of escalation of my current charge, or even result in the clamping or removal of my vehicle? I've never seen a parking attendant around, and suspect that like their other car parks, the monitoring is all electronic. What fun this is! I wonder how much money this CAG thread has saved us all in total (and therefore deprived G24 of income)l?!
