yes i wouldnt do it anyway, but if it was all above board he wouldnt have said take the hrs in the week, he would have just said thats it no more travelling hours.......... he also said if we got found out he would hold his hand up, lol, yeah right, I will go through my contract aswell and let you know the outcome, thankyou very much

I will dig my contract out and have a look but i have covered other shops and gone to superviser meetings for the last 6 years on numerous occasions and got paid for the hours and mileage/train tickets.... another company took us over 1 and a half yrs ago but we havent had any new contracts, and my manager said he didnt think it was fair that we should lose the travelling hrs so on the quiet take them in the week and record as working, now that is fiddling the system to me, which is a sackable offence,

I work in a shop and have always been paid as hours if i have to go to a meeting in another area, now my manager casually said we dont get paid now, soon i am at a meeting that is gonna be a 15 hour day and he says ill just get 8 hrs for it, do you think he,s pulling a fast one so it doesnt reflect on his hours budget, there is a few of us in this position in the shops that are in my area, and not sure what to do about it if anything, any advice please?

ha ha thanks BB,

Just when i thought it was getting quiet............ received another letter today telling me ive been sent to the enforcement department now, and they are the stage of issuing court proceedings in HM COUNTY COURT.......(they said that last time) and then in the next paragraph they say they have 6 years to do it, what a joke this company is !!!! my charge has gone up to 300 pounds and they also say it is not too late to contact them regarding this matter, WHY FOR GODS SAKE dont they just issue the court papers then,my defence is ready and waiting !

file what and forget what????

well after the last letter from them saying they would be issuing court proceedings, i have received another letter today asking me to pay £252 now and i have ten days to pay, (fat chance) it also says we will continue to enforce the remainder of the debt and will also continue to increase the daily amount

thanks BB Im not gonna fret over it thats for sure, let them take me to court, by the sound of the letter if i hear from them again it should be the issue of court proceedings notice, actually i wish they would as i can arrive with my defence, (and my mother in law),

well sent my cease and desist letter and this is the reply i got this morning.......... i refer to the representation made by you in connection with the issue of the above parking charge. thankyou for yuor letter dated ***** . i note from your letter you are requesting evidence of the offence, but as you have not provided the name and address of the driver at the time of the charge being issued, there is little we can do, but issue county court proceedings and let the court decide. we as a company issue the charge to the vehicle, the DVLA provide us with the registered keeper details at out request. we can issue you with the photographic evidence as enclosed, the onus is on the driver to make sure he/she leaves the vehicle in an appropiate parking space. we take all disabled issues seriously. as you stated in your letter you have no obligation to supply the name and address of the driver, we have no alternative but to issue court proceedings. your comments have been noted and will be held on file untill this matter proceeds to county court, yours sincerely steven smith they kindly enclosed a photo of my car for free too,

JOJO........im in the same position as you regarding u.k.p.a.o, dont pay them a penny more, my so called charge is over 200 pounds now and my last letter from them was the same as yours, and i know Barnsley Boy had the same so ive just sent my third and final letter to them which is the cease and desist one, then ill forget about them.

you can come with me then....

BB....... have you had a letter since the one last july,I should still send my cease and desist letter anyway yes????

loving this, you lot are really funny....

yep i get my letters from steve smith hi steve......

Barnsley Boy thanks, not bothered at all if they would like to keep writing to me, id rather keep paying the post office the charge for recorded delivery than give them a penny, and of course i have a defence if they wanna take me to court, they can provide new evidence if they like but i know theres cctv there and ill demand that they show where i went to the office in the carpark with BB afterwards, which of course my mum in law will come to court with me to produce, but obviously she lives nearly 2 hundred miles away from us so maybe i can claim the petrol back from them too on the day who,s STEVE? is he the lovely man who writes to me?

DOES THE LETTER SOUND OK

ok got another letter well two together actually..........one is a standard 2nd reminder telling me my charge has now gone up to £192 and the other is a letter which reads.... I refer to the representation made by you in connection with the issue of the above parking charge, thankyou for your letter dated 5th march.your comments have been noted and will be held on file untill this matter proceeds to county court yours sincerely this is what i intend to send as my reply what do you think.... Dear Sirs, Re: Your letter dated XX/03/2008 Reference XXXX With reference to my letter dated XX/03/2008 in which I requested you to provide evidence of your claim against me. You have declined to do this by stating that you will only proffer this at the County Court instead of trying to resolve this issue at the earliest possible opportunity. Due to your decision to withhold this information I must inform you that I have done all that I can to assist you in this matter. Therefore I ask that you cease and desist in any other form of contact whatsoever, whether by you or your agents, as it will be regarded as harassment and will be reported as such.

as this was only my second letter from them and i expect many more regardless of what i write, this is what i sent in the end............. Dear Sirs, Re: Your letter dated 05/03/2008 Reference 63940 I refer you to my letter sent to you on the 29/02/2008 by recorded mail, which you acknowledge you have received I stated in that letter that I was the Registered Keeper of the vehicle in question, as you will have discovered by getting my details from DVLA, but that you must direct your efforts to enforce any penalty to the driver of the vehicle at the time and date of the alleged contravention. I am under no obligation to provide you with the name and address of the driver at the time, even if I could be certain who the driver was. ONLY the police have the right to request those details from me. At this juncture I ask you to provide evidence to substantiate your claim against me. I have done all that I can to assist you. Unless you provide evidence to substantiate your claim against me I shall be unable to help you further in this matter. thankyou for all your input but i will send the cease and desist letter if and when i get their next reply

yes i did think i might be giving too much away, so thanks i will send as amended

hows this Dear Sirs, Re: Your letter dated [dd/mmmm/yyyy] Reference[#] I refer you to my letter dated [date], a copy of which has been enclosed for your ease of reference. I have in the aforementioned letter acknowledged the receipt of your captioned letter dated [date]. I also stated in that letter that I was the Registered Keeper of the vehicle in question, as you will have discovered by getting my details from DVLA, but that you must direct your efforts to enforce any penalty to the driver of the vehicle at the time and date of the alleged contravention.I am under no obligation to provide you with the name and address of the driver at the time. ONLY the police have the right to request those details from me. As you stated in your letter that you take disabled issues seriously i know the Driver did indeed have a valid blue badge which details can be produced should this issue go to county court. At this juncture there is nothing more that I can add to enable the satisfactory conclusion of this matter for you, therefore I demand that you issue Court proceedings within 14 days or cease and desist from any further contact. Any other form of contact whatsoever, whether by you or your agents, will be regarded as harassment and will be reported as such. Yours Faithfully
