I have 2 of these notices from a different company and have not paid either of them , still getting letters but ignoring them as I was not driving the car but am the registered keeper there is no obligation on you to inform the company who was driving the vehicle it is an .invoice not a fine (these can only be issued by local authorities/police) and is sent to the registered keeper, any ''contract'' as stated on the PCN  entered into is with the driver  only, who is  not neccessarily the reg keeper.

Suggest you do not pay, much info on the net, just google PCN, do not keep writing back to them, suggest you write once stating you were not the driver and ignore all follow uo letters

I don't really understand the advice given so far. You parked somewhere that charges, you've recieved an invoice, so on what grounds would you not pay?

I could understand if this was opportunistic but what is wrong with paying the bill the company have rightfully sent you. The company pay for the land, provide facilities, taxes, have employees and give this facility free for 2 hours. Ok so it's a company and not your mother you owe the money to but because you didn't pay at the time, they have to send an invoice, then reminders, all of this costs. Imagine if no-one paid on your local bus or just paid for half their journey, would you expect the drivers to turn up for free.

I'm sorry but it's dishonest not to pay for something you have admitted you used and those that encourage you should think how that attitude might effect their employment if their companies weren't paid. Times are hard for everyone, but it does not put you all in a good light colluding how to avoid paying a rightful bill.
