I got a 2 parking tickets in July/August 2011 from two different private companies, one near me and one in Cornwall.

I ignored the letters, got threatened with Court action the fines went from 80 to like 250 each, still ignored them, after 6 months or so they gave up contacting me, haven't heard anything since like Jan 2012.

I got one from the police in Nov, paid that straight away, £30. Don't ignore council/police fines, you'll regret it as these are enforceable by law, I think.

Private companies can only take you to court to sue for damages like any normal person, best bet is to ignore them. Unless legislation had changed? Best place to discuss is on moneysavingexpert.

Hope that helped,
Ryan.
