I need some help with these people guys.

 

I received a parking fine from CEL for £150.00 offering a lower fee of £75.00 if I paid within 14 days.

 

If the fine is not paid within 28 days, then it will be passed to a Debt Collection Agency and further costs will be involved.

 

The vehicle in question is registered to our company, where one of three drivers could have been driving it on that particular day. Now the parking area in qustion, requires the driver to call a number and pay for parking with a credit or debit card. Obviously this was not done at the time.

 

The alleged offence is for less than 15 minutes. from: 15:14 to: 15:27. I could understand if they were parked there all day. This does seem quite inappropriate.

 

I haven't contacted CEL yet and have no intention to pay. Is there anything I could do? any advice is greatly appreciated.

No, don't do anything, you're doing just fine ignoring everthing and anything they send you.

Thanks,

 

I dont have a problem ignoring them. Just dont know what to do if the debt collection agency start?

[lamma]

start what ? - they have no powers at all. what do you normally do with begging letters from shysters ?

[smudge123]

Thanks,

 

Yeah I see what you mean:lol:

Also you do not have a fine, only the Police and local councils issue fines.

What you have is a worthless scrap of paper, pretending to be for Authority.

This company has no legal powers to do anything to you.

You do not have to contact these people.

Would you pay a large sum of money if I wrote you such a letter?

Just dont know what to do if the debt collection agency start?

Easy, you ignore them too and the quasi solicitors who follow the DCA

[lamma]

create a hard copy file. put all such letter you recieve in that file in date order (as you recieve them). job done. company has the records.

As was so eloquently put on another thread by someone else; ignore, ignore, ignore some more!

Thanks for your help with this guys. Two more questions for you though.

 

1) How far could these people take this ie: county court. What could be the worst outcome?

2) Ive seen people on here write letters etc asking them to prove who the driver was. Should this be done? only I'm getting grief from my partner who says I should pay them!!!!

[kiptower]

just ignore chances of court are less than you winning the lottery

 

you dont have to tell them anything

[comebackjimmy]

As someone should have eloquently said about other half's; ignore, ignore, ignore some more!
