Ha!!

Nobody broke any rules. Go back and read it again. He was on the car park for only 20 minutes. Hello!

Silly buggers?? They started it!

Thanks for the response. I'll tell him to ignore it and hope you're right.

I've posted about these people before when my son parked on Tesco for all of 20 mins and got back to a ticket, shortly followed by threats from this Europark company. I have passed on all the advice I've been given on here, very good advice, I may say and posted again the other day, but unfortunately I think it was posted in the wrong place! After following the advice, a further letter was received from the collections department of Controlaccount Credit Management saying that it is a legal requirement to send notice of an intention to make a Civil Claim before that claim is issued and this letter fulfils that requirement and has been sent to you at the last address we hold for you. This is your final chance to prevent Litigation; if you ignore this warning proceedings may commence and judgment will be sought. The cost relating tosuch litigation willbe added to the amount claimed (£75), together with interest at a statutory rate of 8%. What my lad needs to know is whether he replies to this and if so, in what manner. Any ideas please?

OK. Thank you but in the meantime does he not reply to this letter from this collection company?

Hello again.. Bernie the Bolt! As you know, I have posted a few times regarding these Europark people and have followed the advice given but they will just not go away! This started when my son parked on Tesco carpark for all of 20 minutes! He has received a further letter today, just when I thought they'd gone away, from Controlaccount Credit Management saying It is a legal requirement to send notice of an intention to make a civil claim before that claim is issued. This letter fulfils that requirement and has been sent to you at the last address we hold for you. this is your final chance to prevent litigation being commenced against y ou; if you ignore this warning then proceedings may commence and judgement will be sought. The cost relating to such litigation will be added to the amount claimed, together with interest at a statutory rate of 8%. If judgement is obtained and an order for repayament in full is granted but remains unpaid, enforcement of that judgement may be sought by the following procedures: - Warrant of execution by bailiff against goods owned by you - Application for an Attachment of Earnings etc etc..... I'm not sure what the next step should be. Any advice please?

Thanks very much Sidewinder

I'm back again!! Nothing was heard back from Euro Car Parks all this while until now. Today my son received a letter from them saying 'whilst your comments have been noted, your dispute has not been upheld and your account remains payable. In view of this we would not appreciate your cheque by return of post'. Are they just trying it on again? Any ideas on what his next move should be please? Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks so much for all your help. I will advise him to do that and I will keep you posted. Cheers.

Thank you for your response. I have passed this on to my son and he is thinking of replying to them in the following way: I acknowledge receipt of your invoice no.... dated ..... As no breach has occurred, I am not liable and your charge is unlawful and unenforceable. I will not be providing any payment and your continued pursuit of this matter will constitute an offence under the Protection From Harrassment Act 1997. I consider the matter closed and I am explicitly instructing you not to contact me again for any reason. Would this suffice, do you think?

I have been reading posts relating to the PPC issued tickets mainly because recently my son had parked on a 'free' Tesco site in Stoke on Trent and was gone only 20-30 minutes to return to a ticket on his screen from Euro Cars demanding £50!! He apparently wrote to these people advising them that he had only been on this car park for a short while but they chose to completely ignore his letter and he has now received a further letter again demanding £50 and stating that if payment is not received within 28 days, this matter will be referred to a debt collection agency which will infur a further admin charge of £25! Does anybody have any suggestions please of what he should do as he was obviously the driver that day and they will now be aware of that. Any assistance would be much appreciated and passed on to him.

Thank you so much

I'd like to just say hi and what a good job this forum seems to do in stopping naive people like myself from being fleeced!
