I have recently started receiving demanding letters for an outstanding fine for £170 for parking in a restaurant car park 3 years ago (January 2020), which I had appealed against at the time. I rang debt recovery up and sent them evidence that I had a meal in the restaurant 3 years ago and i explained to them that when I had received the initial parking fine I had immediately appealed against this but had heard nothing from the parking company. They were not interested and said that if I didn't pay I would have to go to court.
I can't believe that they have waited over 3 years to chase this. Even though I have sent them evidence they have said that I still have to pay. I await my threatened court date.
