I watch this and have noticed an increase in the number of high court cases with the bailiffs being sent in to get payment for PPC's.
This week a chap had the bailiffs on his door after £1,900 to settle a debt to a PPC. Is this the likely consequence of ignoring all letters now, the likes of PE literally taking it all the way, or likely a combination of both. I have colleagues at work (NHS hospital) who pick up tickets on an almost daily basis in our staff car park for no permit, obstruction etc and ignore all correspondence with a casual "I've been told they're unenforceable". -------------------- Diesel, the fuel of the future......

There is a regular story type that occurs in news.
Person cops PPC invoices, ignores for whatever reason, builds up "debt", ends up in court, found liable. In many cases, many thousands to be paid to PPC. I'm not an expert on PPCs by any stretch but those stories alone suggest that ignoring isn't the best option. Whether or not it is a viable option would depend on specifics. Browsing the PPC forum would also suggest that ignoring can be the expensive option. Whether is likely or not? Not a scoobie. That your colleagues aren't having their cases escalated would suggest that the PPC in question isn't one that will take them to court. But not that they can't. Which company is it?

The company was (Cr)Apcoa. The contract has just been given to CP Plus though, who seem to be an unknown as to whether they do court or not. We shall soon see, or my blasé colleagues will !!!!!!

CP Plus are certainly not an unknown.
Once a company looses a contract they can suddenly turn rather venal as they no longer have an interest in keeping the landowners customers happy (and by inference the landowner who gives them the contract to operate) going forward, as seen in the Co-op case. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!
