Roxburghe / Vinci Parks

[rileysgran]

Can anyone help with an answer to a parking fine that I have received from my local hospital, run by a private firm called Vinci. I was waiting in a "waiting zone" for my wife, left the car to go and get her, and returned to a fine of £50. This was passed to a Debt Collection firm called Roxburghe, without any further correspondence from Vinci. They are now hounding me with phone calls and letters, to say I will be passed to a solicitor if I don't pay. Is this legal? And how do they get my address and telephone number?

if there was a notice saying there was a 50 quid fine for parking there then they are right to fine you. if you didn't pay the fine within the specified time given and ignored their demand, they will send you another letter which is probably a debt collector they sell the fines to and charges are added. you'll have to pay them or they will add further charges
