Parking fine
We parked our car on a free car park, for 2hrs 15 mins, only to get a fine from parking eye a week later. I was told by a policeman to ignore it as only council wardens or police officers can issue parking fines. This was back in jan, now they have passed it on to newlyn debt collectors who keep phoning our home demanding we pay £260 what will we do.

Tell them that if they don't stop harassing you without taking the case to court you will report them for breaching the Freedom from Harassment Act 1997 and if necessary will get an injunction preventing them from any further harassment.
