This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It is already against the laws for parking enforcement companies to harass people about paying parking charges. Citizens Advice has published guidance on how to stop being chase for a parking ticket here: www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/parking-tickets/appealing-parking-tickets/stop-being-chased-for-a-parking-ticket/

We have published a petition calling on the Government to encourage local authorities and private car parks to suspend parking fines during the Covid-19 outbreak, which you might like to sign.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to ban all enforcement activity regarding parking charges, including calls and correspondence, if that is what you want to happen.
