Will UK car park management take me to court?

DON'T JUST IGNORE THE PARKING CHARGE, BECAUSE YOU CAN BE SURE WE WON'T. If we don't receive payment from you we will pass your details on to a registered debt recovery agency, and you may also become liable for the costs they incur as a result. If you still refuse to pay we may commence court proceedings against you.
