Did anyone else get their 'Parking Charge Notice'? Mine arrived this morning. Apparently I was there 3 hrs & 9 mins and they've 'photograhic evidence on file to support this claim' Why didn't the bloke in the patrol van tell me at the time?

Nothing here yet, but I did do a drive around at 1h 50 mins in the hope of an easy life

I do hope you're not going to pay it? Write back and insist on them taking you to court, save the letter on the PC and just change the date and re-send everytime they write to you

I'm not planning on even acknowledging it, let alone paying them  they want £80  or it's reduced to £50 if paid within .... so many days.

I've had nothing and I must have been close if not over the 2 hours.

[unlucky mark mv6]

I got one of those when i used a Morrisons car park for 3 1/2 hours, those letters try and scare you, expect further one in a couple of weeks with a nice photo. Then a following one from a 'billing department'  saying Bailiffs will be called, and court action bla bla bla.

It would cost them more to take you to court, they can only get the fee back there is no loss of earnings they can claim for so its pointless empty threats.

Nothing has arrived for me but i drove out and back in.

Probably scared that you all were going to beat him up, or at least an infringement for taking your photo without his permission

I got my 'reminder' a few weeks after the original 'PCN' and today I've had my third letter from them.
This is now **LEGAL ACTION PENDING** and there's now a further £40 on top of the original £80 so apparently I can can pay my £120 via cheque or postal order 
Do you reckon I should just ignore it again or send them a letter suggesting they're harrasing me ........ (borrowed from Richard H of ABS - thanks  )
1997 Prevention of Harassment Act

"The Act defines harassment in section 1(1) as a "course of conduct" amounting to harassment and provides by section 7(3) that a course of conduct must involve conduct on at least two occasions. (Originally these occasions needed to involve the same person, but in 2005 the act was amended by the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act so that "pursuing a course of conduct" could mean approaching two people just once.[1]) If these requirements are satisfied, the claimant may pursue a civil remedy for damages for anxiety: section 3(2). The use of civil law, means that the standards of evidence are substantially lower than for criminal law, for example permitting hearsay.

Under this act the definition of harassment is behavior which causes alarm or distress. The Act provides for a jail sentence of up to six months or a fine. There are also a variety of civil remedies that can be used including awarding of damages, and restraining orders backed by the power of arrest"
