They only ever deduct it from our wages after contacting us first in accordance with our employment guide. I'm not putting my job on the line to stick to a principle. Once the employer has declared I was the driver it is then unlawful for them to approach the company for payment. They HAVE to approach the driver once details have been given. I have also told the company (fleet management) that any further/future correspondence from this company should be forwarded to me as they are no longer liable and I will deal with it in the appropriate manner. A cease and desist letter to them in respect of further contact to the company should suffice I believe.

My employers have sent a letter telling them they believe I was the driver on the day in question and given them my address.

Probably but I'm not prepared to drag them through the mire. This is probably the best solution for them and I.

I have sent my company an e-mail asking them to reply that I was the driver and to send all details to me. I have also told them that once they give this information they are no longer liable. I then plan a very rigorous defence and will have to use the already replied templates.

The company haven't paid it yet and have said it's up to me whether to have them pay it or deal with it myself on appeal.

Hi guys, Last Thursday I was going to an ATS in Blackpool in my company car which opens at 08:00 I thought I'd have breakfast first so drove around 100 yards and spotted a KFC. It was about five past eight. Drove in the car park and the KFC was closed, at this point my phone rings so I pull into a parking space and take the call. I should add at this point I am the only car in the car park. I then drive out of the car park and return to ATS and have tryes done. Yesterday in work I receive an e-mail saying I have told them not to pay anything and I'll get back in touch with them today. I plan to tell work that I am appealing and ask them to address any future correespondence in this matter to me. They attached a pdf of the ticket from Civil Enforcement Limited stating I had used the car park for 11 minutes and 8 seconds and I was now liable for £75 if paid in 14 days/£150 in 28 days. I went to the car park last night to have a look around. The signs state that parking is free for 2 hours between the hours of 10:00 and 23:30 with no parking at any other time. To settle this charge at a further reduced rate phone XXXXX before you leave the car park. The firm involved is Civil Enforcement Ltd and they have a web address www.ce-service.co.uk mentioned at the bottom of the signs. I have no intention of paying this but obviously the company will need to pass any information on to me as they won't want the hassle. Is this the same as the other threads I've seen related to similar practices from UKPC and others?
