been here before Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Aye dingy it as per every other thread on the subject matter. Youll get a reminder but treat it with similar dinginess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlimOzturk Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Ignore it mate. Could probably contest that but ultimately it isnt worth the paper the letters are printed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjcc Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 As long as she’s not been parking there ‘illegally’ loads, ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restonbabe Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Ignore it. Nothing more than an invoice in the courts eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I got one of these attempted robbery tickets a few months ago and started a thread to ask, was advised to ignore. Got a couple of threatening letters, maybe four altogether after the initial fine and haven’t heard anything again. **** them off mate, don’t worry about it.

Assume it's an ignore, too? I read that the only mistake you can make is to get in contact with them. Completely blank is the best policy.

They can’t prove who was driving so can’t actually take you to court. Yeah believe that’s correct. Ive often wondered who works for companies like this. Thieves is all they are.

Dave McCreery's knee Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Got one the other day for leaving my car for 15 hours at Moto service station at Kinross. I had met my pal to head up north for the day and he drove. Didn't see the signs but they can whistle, wont acknowledge any letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you don't want your dad to get the letters, that doesn't seem to be an option for you. I think your only other thing you could do, would be to speak to a Manager at McDonalds, who hire the parking sharks, and see if they can do anything for you. Good luck.

3fingersreid Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Just received the second letter with the increased fine and all for 2 minutes. What I can’t get is why don’t they send the letters recorded delivery , my daughter “ hasn’t received any letters”😉 as far as we’re concerned .

It’s horrible these threatening letters though the older ones really shite it with that stuff. Think it was our ex sponsor Wonga that got hauled over the coals for those types of threatening letters when their was actually jack they can do about it. It was basically just a scare tactic that sadly works with some people. Horrible companies. You can imagine the scum that is behind them too.

Bit like when pensioners get a leaflet through the door claiming they’ll not have a state pension in an independent Scotland I suppose.
