Private Parking Companies cannot issue 'fines' - their tickets are an invitation to pay a sum of money for an alleged breach of contract. This is a civil matter not a criminal one. The PPC would have to take you to County Court to enforce2. Their legitimacy depends on a number of factors - but they should not now be ignored as a change in the law has given additional legal entitlements which has led certain companies to issue many more Court claims than before 3. Never pay them before going through the formal appeals process - you will never get the money back as their entire business model is about revenue, not fairness and their appeals are overseen by their own governing body - in most cases the same organisation that chases their 'debts' up for them. Google the issuing company and take advice from websites which will guide you through the process. Many PPCs make mistakes in the steps that they have to take to enforce tickets and this is the easiest way to defeat them</blockquote>
