       NSL is likely to send a NTO asking for full payment which is not
       allowed by law.
       They should have request the name and address of the driver and
       let the driver deal with it.
       Then NSL is likely to appoint debt collectors which has no
       powers to enforce the payment.
       The time limit for them to raise a Magistrate Court summons is 6
       months but they would not do that as they would not get a penny
       if they were sucessful.
       The risk is up to you.

       These Royal Parks ECNs used to crop up on PePiPoo every so
       often. As I recall they were originally issued by the Royal
       Parks Police, who were subsequently merged with the Metropolitan
       Police. The Met Commissioner has now disbanded the Royal Parks
       Police.
       Non-payment led to a charge in the Magistrate's Court. Somewhere
       along the way the administration and collection of parking fees
       and penalty charges was farmed out to NSL.
       As I recall the standing advice was to pay up whilst you had a
       discount option. This was because it was virtually impossible to
       fight in the Magistrate's Court.
       Below is an extract of the NSL rejection from earlier

       />this year in a Royal Parks case here on FTLA. There is no
       mention of the Magistrate's Court or the County Court. Maybe the
       Court proceedings are implied (hidden) within the word
       "progression".
       "I have carefully considered the points you have raised in your
       challenge but have decided not to cancel your Excess Charge
       Notice.
       You are, therefore, requested to comply with the Excess Charge
       Notice. However, the reduced charge of £40.00 will still be
       accepted provided payment is received within 14 days of the date
       of this letter. Failure to make payment will result in the full
       Excess Charge Notice of £80.00 becoming due.
       If you still wish to dispute this Excess Charge Notice, the DVLA
       registered keeper will be sent a Notice to Owner who may make
       formal representation against the Excess Charge Notice. Please
       note, the full charge of £80.00 will be applicable at the Notice
       to Owner stage.
       Failure to make payment or submit a formal representation will
       result in the progression of the Excess Charge Notice resulting
       in the debt being passed to Trace Debt Recovery UK Ltd to
       recover the outstanding balance on behalf of Royal Parks. Once
       the debt has been passed to Trace Debt Recovery UK Ltd, we will
       not be able to accept any payments. You will need to contact
       them directly."
