My parking fine With PPS has gone up to over £200 and has been passed to a solicitor. Should I keep ignoring this?

Its from Swindon England. on the 12/03/2015 I broke down and was sent a parking ticket.I wrote to them explaining my circumstances and enclosed a cheque for £5.00 to cover the time i was there. The car park was empty.

Re: pps fine has been passed onto solicitor

So, to be clear, you told them you were driving and that you'd broken down ? You are the registered keeper ?

If you were driver and keeper then i would say yes you should ignore unless sent a letter before action or court papers.

I am the registered keeper but my son, a named driver was driving when he broke down. He can prove this because a garage came out to him to fix the car. I sent them a £5.00 cheque but they sent it back. I have two letters from the solicitor.

Re: pps fine has been passed onto solicitor

Well if, as i suspect, it fails on keeper liability they have a serious issue.

Ignore all bar a letter before action or court papers.
