Hi TFT - after reading this I am even more convinced Excel will never go to court unless they want to lose - it is as I thought they are saying I broke their t&cs but what loss did they suffer none and thats what they will have to prove and even then they would not be awarded 50 - 116 times the value of parking cheers

[the_freedom_trail]

Yes, but you only broke their T&C's if you are aware of them. For example, if I invite you to park on my driveway for 10mins but don't make you sufficiently aware of the T&C's then you cannot break what you have not consented to.

 

I am sure you will be starting to understand just how many issues these PPC's face.

 

Best Regards,

Seen the Light, Bar Steward

Yes - true to the form the Round Robin has arrived here too! - a Final Warning issued to my son, giving him yet another 7 days to pay (or else?!!)

[hwadsworth]

hi baldy man - is your son going to hold out on this - the same as I am going to cheers

[Barsteward]

Hi - yes thats what I hope as well - lets hope everyones advise is right - otherwise we are going to have a big bill to pay - but really cant see the court seeing it fair to charge 50 to 116 times the actually cost to park. Especially as I did pay to park - so excel have lost nothing

Stuff the charge. Free parking therefore charges will be for them to worry about. Along with the non compliant signs, phantom T&Cs etc.

I want them in court to explain their ANPR system failings.

If only.

It has happened in the past. Excel lost - Heatherington Jakeman.

[hwadsworth]

Hi to all - so they have lost on a similar case to mine before then - ie excessive charging for nothing - will have a look at heatherington jakeman once again thanks for all the support it does help - if it wasnt for everyones support who knows cheers H

[Baldy Man]

Hello all (esp hwadsworth) - yes my son has never had any intention of paying - and he has my support on that.

[hwadsworth]

Hi BM - has your son now had the two letters from graham white solicitors. cheers H

[Baldy Man]

Hello hwadsworth - yes the second was the so-called final warning with seven days to respond. He remains adamant he will not respond or pay anything.

[hwadsworth]

Hi Bm - in that case me and your son are in the same boat - as I am not paying or responding to their bully tactics.

 

Cheers

H

 

let me know what happens and I will you

Expect 2 letters from Graham White. Then they give up.

 

Note that Graham White's phone number is one digit away from Roxburge's

You have made a mistake by contacting them, don't compound that error by contacting them ever again.

Yes

WAUOIDORTSATIWTCWBT doesn't trip off the tongue really how about 'They can FRO'

[hwadsworth]

Hi - I am now on my second graham white letter and have totally ignored - I will continue to ignore them. I was advised that you get the Roxburge letter then two graham white ones and hopefully they then give up - will have to see but I will hold out and see them in court if necessary. So yes not giving in to this [problem] as they are bullies and not justified in anyway. Cheers H

I parked in the Peel Centre Car Park, Stockport. I bought a ticket and displayed it on my dashboard. When I returned to my car I was shocked to see a parking notice fixed to my window - upon inspection, my ticket was no longer on the dashboard but on the floor (it must have blown down when shutting the door).

 

Anyway, I sent a letter and the ticket to Excel parking (I retained photographic evidence of the ticket) to which they responded rejecting my appeal. I then wrote a further letter informing them that we would not be paying as we had done nothing wrong. They wrote back saying that the notice stood and no further appeals woul be considered. I have recently sent them another letter reiterating the situation of the unfortunate event of the ticket blowing into the footwell and that I would not be paying any money to them.

 

We await their further correspondance.

 

Any advice welcome

[Al27]

You've tried to engage with them with their phoney appeals procedure twice. What do you think will happen the third time?

 

Do now what you should have done from day one - ignore everything and do not contact them again.

[Blustery Wind]

Thanks, got a bit spooked by their threats which is why I wrote to them but after reading this site it has become apparent that I shouldn't have.

[letshelp]

Blustery wind,

You now need to move into ignore mode. You made a mistake contacting them, don't compound that error.

HI AGAIN PETER GRIFFIN HERE!

 

currently on 1st roxburghe letter via excel parking fine!

 

just a line of enquiry really! last few days we have been receiving calls on a mobile phone registered to me but one that my girlfriend uses from a private number, after deliberately not answering them for a few days my girlfriend answered one such call on mon night it was from someone obviously trying to fish for info and trying to trick my g/f into giving her name etc etc! the other person either a woman or someone pretending to be a woman said her name was jan baker! then promptly hung up when my g/f gave her her first name only and told her she had the wrong number. consequently last night we had another call at 23:10 from a private number and i answered it was a guy with a foreignish accent asking for my g/f by her first name, when i refused to put her on he then pretended to be a police officer and asked us to go straight to birmingham city centre police station, i fobbed him off but he then got aggressive on the phone and threatened to blow us up!

 

as soon as he hung up i phoned my mobile phone provider and changed her number and reported the incident to the police.

 

a very nice and genuine detective rang me today and explained that they were taking this very seriously as a threat to kill and harrassment and were investigating the origin of the call etc etc

 

now comes the interesting part: he asked me if i were being persued by any debt collecting agencys at present as apparently its a common trick of intimidation after theyve bought a debt and theyre being given the run around!

 

now all the details they would have to do with the "parking offence", the car registration and the appeal etc are in my name so i dont really know how they would have got hold of her number as opposed to mine but you never know!

 

the police seemed genuinely concerned about this matter and are investigating! so i was just wondering if anybody else had ever heard of these tactics being employed by these scheisters previously?

 

im not bothered as the threat was non specific and i know its prob some sad f@cker sitting in his bedroom trying to be a tough guy but still not nice thing to happen to your family!

 

any advice please would be welcomed!
