Thread: My experience with Euro Car Parks & G24 (update)

Within relative quick succession I had received a ticket from Euro Car Parks, and an invoice from G24 (via ANPR)

Due to the comments and suggestions from this site, I ignored every subsequent letter that was sent from both. Here's what's happened thus far....

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Euro Car Parks
14th July 08 Original ticket issued on vehicle

14th Aug 08 - Received a 28 day warning

1st Sep 08 - Received letter from Euro Car Park debt collectors


15th Sep 08 Notice of an intention to make a civil claim


----------------------------------------------------------------------
G24

15th Aug 08 - Received initial £95 invoice


30th Aug 08 Received a FINAL REMINDER



26th Sep 08 - Received letter from G24's debt collectors


17th Oct 080 - G4's dept collectors telling me not to ignore them


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To date, I have received no further correspondence from either

On 15th Sept G24 state "as the registered keeper/owner/hirer/driver of the vehicle at the time of the above contravention you are responsible for the payment of the parking charge Notice"

and on 30th G24 further state in item 3 "as th registered owner/keeper of the vehicle (or the person who was hiring the vehicle at the time that the pcn was issued) you are legally liable for the parking charge even if you were not the driver at the time.

Since when did the RK become "responsible" and "legally liable" for an alledged civil breach of contract? Be great to let them present that in a court p.s. if they let you take it that far.

they never were (for civil cases). and clearly against the BPA CoP which both firms have formally signed off to be bound by. see the 'force are aligned' link mentioned elsewhere.

Gosh lamma. Do you think that will mean that G24 won't trying taking p.s. to court and asking a judge to maybe support their unilatral change to the law then?

if only they would.

CCS/G24 not letting up !
been away for a few days, came home to this..

OMG p.s. that is so generous of them to allow you not to have to pay the additional £40 court costs that they have not yet incurred!

I think you should give this offer careful consideration for at least 2 seconds before you dismiss their kindness and regret not doing so for the rest of your life.

they included a pre-paid envelope this time. I'm taking suggestions of what to put in it an return it to them.

Whatever it is, it will be returned over weight/size so they'll have to pay a fine ;-)

Try sending them a brick in a box with their pre-paid envelope stuck to it.

Well, the saga continues with G24 Yet ANOTHER "may result in"......

In addition, and I am totally convinced this is either G24 or Euro Carparks "Phishing" for confirmation of my details and probably more importantly my phone number. Arrived in hand-written envelope... Anyone else had this, is it a new tactic on their part ?

Still ignoring it all though.......

As I'm dealing with (genuine) debt letters being sent to an ex-tenant of mine, I can confirm that one of their tactics is to issue letters about "messages" that you can access by phoning a number and giving a reference.

Sounds like you're having fun p.s. I think this thread should become a sticky as people will be able to see in full colour the ineffectiveness of these letters - though I guess a more permanent host for the images would be required.

It is a paper based 'phish'. They are trying to find out your details for G24/Euro. Obviously, ignore!

If I wanted to chase somebody for money for my business, [I'm a window cleaner, not a PPC], this thread demonstrates which collection firms I should avoid, like the plague!

I can only imagine that having their gross ineptitude published like this must cause them extreme embarrassment.

If I worked for such crap employers, I'd look for another job, quick, I wouldn't want to be associated with them.

Very naughty - They should be reported to Comapnies House and earn themselves upto a £5000 fine! - lol :grin:

Thanks for showing us copies of all the demand notices. You are doing a great service.

I got my "Charge Certificate" from G24 last Saturday and do not intend to pay until a court tells me to. I googled G24 and was amazed at the amount of advice out there. Now I know what to expect from them I will be better equipped mentally to handle it. At the end of the day it wil be £70 plus some costs and as I am a pensioner I can ask to pay in installments, like about £5 per month so really its not a big problem. In the meantime I'm going to write to my MP about the Data protection angle and to our local mayor who I know personally, to see if Aldi have the necessary license to operate a private parking lot. I believe also that CCTV cameras also need permissions. Anyway the object is to stir enough to get these extorsionists out of our town.

As this thing progresses I'll keep posting

check that they are paying the appropriate business rate for the car park as it is being used to generate revenue. mention this to the mayor I am sure the council would like any pending amounts due
