Excel Parking Ticket.

[ticketvictim]

buffy there are a couple of things you can do.

 

(a) contact the DVLA by email and head a mail

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION act request (FOIa)

ask them how many registered keepers details Excel parking have asked for this year or last.

(b) you'll get this from them within 20 working days - then send this info to your local Trading standards - asking if a company that deals in parking should be amassing the figure (it's a massive number I'll tell you !) Surely if they are running their business correctly and not just running a [problem] should not change their operating practices so you pay on leaving. If this many issues arise each year on year - any decent organisation would fit barriers that take tickets - not boast about installing latest technology to identify vehicles leaving.

ask them for advice and maybe if they think like us along the lines that they need to investigate further.

 

 

the FOI will take you two mins in outlook

the message when it comes will take you another two mins to the trading stds ..

 

max time 10 mins of your life .. question is how much of your sleep have excel stolen from you with their letters and stress ?

 

FOIa is free, TS message is free as a citizen ... and all information requests they should comply.

[phil_nottingham]

Yep just do as ur teacher advises and ignore

[letshelp]

Also, tell your friends so that no more of them fall for this [problem].

Hi buffy-2008,

 

If you're worried just keep an eye on my thread here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/parking-traffic-offences/243450-yet-another-plea-help.html

 

I'm a bit further down the line than you. Third or fourth letter, can't remember.

Dear Sir,

 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please can you please supply me with the following information pertaining to the private companies listed in the attached PDF:

 

• total number of requests for registered keeper details ever made by each company

• number of requests for registered keeper details made by each company in the last 12 months

• total number of registered keeper details actually supplied by the DVLA for each company

• number of registered keeper details actually supplied by the DVLA for each company in the last 12 months

 

I appreciate this may be time consuming request but I would be grateful for your help.

 

Reply by either email or post will be fine.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

---

 

 

Of course, I'm fully expecting to get "the DVLA do not keep individual records from individual companies" as a reply. Cross that bridge when we come to it.

Howdo all,

 

Just another update - latest 'Notice of Intended Legal Action' fell through the door with a thud - new price apparently is £348.37 (initial fine - £141.12 plus issuing claim - £207.25) from Mr White and Co (on behalf of Roxburghe).:-x:-x

 

Think the give away is in 'INTENDED', followed up with 'INTENDED LITIGATION' and to slam home the threat reference to the fact that you could face serious credit difficulties for upto 6 years.

 

Even better, ...if you don't adhere to the Judgement Order, bailiiffs will be instructed to seize goods from your address for sale at Public Auction.

 

All this and only 7 days to reply, unbelievable.

 

Hope you're all still around - may need to hold some hands to get through this - looks like it could be a bumpy ride. :-o:-o

[lamma]

How is ignoring their standard rubbish a bumpy a ride ? have you read the well known letter chains ?

[Ecky Thump]

To be honest Lamma, i've not been in a letter chain so learning fast - thanks for the support though. :)

[__Stu__]

I have to drive through the entrance to the Chorlton carpark to get to my flat. It's irritating having to deal with all the "fines" we get, but not a big problem. The problem is when friends park in our private driveway in leased cars - the lease company then get a "fine" from Excel and pay it without question, then issue a charge for dealing with it. Excel must make a fortune via this route.

 

Anyway, i've complained to Excel, my MP and the police regarding this harassment, and i'm almost looking forward to taking it further. I'd welcome a response from Excel on here, since they must be aware of these discussions.

[Al27]

It's in Excel's interest to keep their heads down and just carry on with their chain letter [problem].

[samunwise]

I have just had a letter from Roxburghe Debt Collectors telling me to payup £141.12 otherwise they will involve their solicitors Graham White who will take legal action - Anyone else had a letter from Roxburghe???

 

As all the advice from you guys i will not pay and will ignore the letter but am looking for re-assurance that this is just excel putting pressure on to get me to pay up for a parking fine that is impossible due to me and my car being 217miles away.

 

It turned out that they got my reg from the dvla with my address for about £20 -

[kiptower]

no they paid £2.50 hoping you will pay up but of course you wont

 

JUST IGNORE THEM

 

IT IS NOT a parking fine

[samunwise]

fair enough - i will ignore them.

 

Thank You

[lamma]

check with the DVLA that they did make a request for the RK details. Some PPCs are obviously getting the details from somewhere else.

[guitarman77]

Thanks to everyone for the very helpful advice given. My problems started in March and I've duly ignored all letters sent by these [problematic] since. However I feel like I might be getting to the end of it now and I'm going to really miss those letters dropping through my mailbox. I'm thinking of writing to them since they almost seem like friends now. lol. It's a bit like 21st Century bear baiting.

[samunwise]

Well i have just had my first letter from Graham White Solicitors - Which off course i shall ignore but how many more letters do i expect to get?

[buffy-2008]

Just had my INTENED court proceedigns (letter No 3) keep em coming i want a full set lol

[samunwise]

Just to let folks know i have now had a very impressive looking letter from Graham White solicitirs telling me that they are getting the bailiffs involved do i still ignore these crettins???

Of course you do. They can't just "get in the bailiffs", For that to happen they would have to take you to court (very unlikely) , you lose (very, very unlikely) and then you refuse to pay whatever the judge orders.

 

"Graham White" solicitors (aka Michael David Sobell) is currently under investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority because of all these threatening letters his firm sends out.
