Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Has anyone got information or advice on Ticketshield where for a a fee of £37.50 the company deals with all letters of harassment in relation to private parking tickets.
another [problem]. easy way - ignore the PPC, its free. Standard solicitor's letter that will shut the PPC up (very well known contents) can be had for around 20 quid (last Time I checked process). Cheaper to ignore the PPC - and it costs the PPC money to send their letters. have never yet seen a lawful set of paperwork from a PPC. see http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...blems+ppc+face and FAQs - PPCs - fighting back. The forces are aligned
I think the term '[problem]' is rather harsh. They do a job for a price. What you forget is that whilst it is easy for some of us to treat these letters with contempt, others can be wound up to extremes and need the comfort of knowing that someone, somewhere is looking after those interests. So, fight if you can, use one of these firms if you mist, but never, EVER give in to them.
If you are going to do this in some instances it would be cheaper to pay the discounted invoice. Best off ignoring full stop. There is nothing a solicitor can say to these [problem]mers that anyone else cannot.

I sent £37.50 off a week ago and have heard nothing back despite several emails - the Website isn;t working either - so possibly I may have been [problem]med - which would add insult to injury!
Can I find a lawyer to sue someone posing as a lawyer?
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
You may also have misunderstood their service. For the money, they write 'form' letters, you don;t get your own individual lawyer on the case . Their letters will have (at some time) been checked by one and verified that it meets the needs of any relevant challenges, so hoping that you can get them on misrepresentation is a long shot. My solicitor charges £75 for a 15 minute consultation and 1 letter.
I was being ironic about hiring a lawyer to sue a lawyer! I'd be the only one losing out!
My main concern is that they say they will contact you and be available by phone- but they are not- the no they write on their website goes to answer phone- so I have no idea if they are doing anything with the £37.50.
The reason I went to them is that I wrote letters to the BPA - UKPC and DVLA and none of it helped-
What does notice of Intended Litigation mean anyway- small claims court?
I thought that Private Parking companies can't apply to county court anyway for a county court judgement- am I wrong?
seems real irish to me though, paying a [problem]mer to stop an initial [problem] in the first place...........
its not the guy that sits next to the solcitor three tables down in the same office is it?

my views are my own...seek legal advice if ness
NEVER EVER - act on a private message asking you to visit another website, make contact 'off list' or by telephone
- alert the siteteam IMMEDIATELY by hitting the black warning triangle on any message - Particularly if this results in a request to pay a fee to help you.
rather than hittting to be my friend - hit the star
a sort of fire-fighting role here. Hate HFC & their past compulsory PPI ethos

If you would like to send me some money, I'll do the job for twenty five quid!
Having cashed your cheque, I'll send them a letter stating that I'm taking over your case; I'll also advise them that they have no case in law, and that I'm aware of their [problem].
I will also tell them that provided that they never write to you again concerning this matter, I'll send them twelve pounds and fifty pence.
The alternative for them is to refuse to comply - in that case I'll tell them that they won't get a penny from me, and I've advised you to send everything to me anyway.
They get something, and so do I - simple, isn't it!
Ticketshield.
Did you ever get your ticket sorted by this mob.
I have to hold my hands up as I also sent them ther £37.50 believing they were going to work on my behalf. First time offender, everything is easy if you know how. I now have the debt collectors letter, £211.25.
Has anyone actually taken this non payment route to the limit or are they all barrackroom lawyers?
Parking at MacDonalds, over stayed their offical time allowance. I never saw the sign about max length of time allowable. Original fine £120 reduced to £75 if quick payment. I employed (or thought I employed) Ticketshield, who have gone on the missing list, to sort it out. I now have a debt collection agency called newlyn after me for £211.25p.
I haven't acknowledged any of their demands.
Ticketshield
