Hi there. With my complaint, i emailed the head mark newton jones at the email listed below in CONNIFF's thread (above) and sent a really nice email apologising for the inconvenience of contacting him direct etc.etc. my letter was very properly worded, calm, thoughtful, to the point but not bossy. I emphasised my distress and worry etc. i asked if there was anything he could possibly do to end this nightmare and lo and behold within a day ihad an email from a lovely lady who said she would look into it and within 5 days my account was credited back and the matter done and dusted. I know you will want to rant and rave but, think of the end result. If you are calm, meek and mild but to the point and show that you are really worried, hopefully you will get what you want. Good luck angi:-(

Thanks Andy7807 I will wait to see what they say now. Thanks for everyones help. I have passed this info onto all of my friends too, as their are loads of peeps out there who get these tickets. Angi:rolleyes:

I have also written this one to the parking company. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. many many thanks angi Date 19th June 2007 Dear AS Securi-t Regarding the above notice I can tell you that I will not be paying it unless by order of a court, as, although I am the registered keeper of the van, I was not the driver at the time and I am aware that, under contract law any action to recover costs should be taken against the driver, as only the driver, not the registered keeper would have been party to any alleged contract. I would like full details of any contract that was struck between me and your company. After various phone calls explaining the situation with no joy, I am very distressed by this situation and do not want any further contact from you at all. If you do contact me again (by any means) then I will be taking legal action against you for Harassment. Regards

You guys are great, thanks. after reading lots of threads and have devised a letter to the Inland recovery people as follows. please tell me your thoughts before i post it. Inland Recovery Suite 120 266 Banbury Road Summertown Oxford OX2 7DL Your Ref IR7/**** Parking Charge Notice V***** Date 19th June 2007-06-20 Dear Mr Carter In response to your recent letter re; the above notice, I must inform you that this matter is in dispute with AS Securi-t, and therefore, in the light of this information, I demand that you cease and desist any further harassment or attempt to demand money in respect of your invoice, with the exception of a written confirmation that you have ceased all action in respect of this matter Regards am i right in thinking that they are not allowed to contact me again? thanks all.xx

:!:Sorry, couldn't fathom out how to post onto the right forum, thanks for helping. below is the original message. My daughter lived in an apartment block and had her own parking space. She had a permit for this and used my hubby's van one day to move in some furniture. She parked in the bay and started to unload. upon her 2nd return, she had a parking ticket. There was no one around so couldn't explain that she did have a permit. I called the people involved (AS Securi-t ltd) and explained this to them and they told me to email them a copy of the permit and they would deal with it, which i duly did. I received another letter about a month later, stating that they required payment of £117.50 for the ticket! I called them again, logging the date and persons name, stating that i had already emailed the permit to them. They said they never received it, so asked me to send it again, which i did twice to be sure. (i copied and pasted the email address form their website) This morniing i have received a letter from Inland recovery,(a trading name of AS Securi-t) stating that the file has been passed to them and they will be acting to collect the unpaid fine plus charges of £80, so now it is £197.50! I called them and they said, as the debt had been passed to them they could not alter anything on it and to phone AS Securi-t. I called them and was on the phone for almost 40 minutes arguing the case. they said they never got my emails, but suddenly got one today that i sent, but as it was, the ticket was issued correctly as there was no permit displayed, end of! Now, i have read other threads about this sort of thing, and is it right that they can not really do much about this or do i need to start worrying? As is is, it was not even my hubby who was driving the van, so can they continue with their claim? kind regards angi:evil:
