URGENT Parking firm taking me to court and demanding my insurance docs? WHAT!?????

[Steve__M]

If you are happy that CPS know who you are would you mind telling us what their claim says (assuming you can decipher all the spelling mistakes ?

[JonCris]

You may well have left you email address visible when you completed your details in the user CP

[lamma]

only the OP can tell us that. I can't see the address if I click on the username an look at contact details.

If it has been kept invisible and it has leaked out from here... well I don't need to draw the rest of that picture do I ?

 

If it is so then that should be of concern to every poster on here.

[JonCris]

It is & I think the OP needs to report this possible breach to the mods so that Admin can investigate

 

Also we need the OP to clarify if it's their PM that was used or their actual email

[battyboomboom]

I know on other forums you can email people through their profile, but you never see the person's email address and it comes with more than just the message, it also has "this is a message from xxx forum sent by abc".

 

But as far as I can see, there's no way to email members here - so was it a PM, did they get the email from here by illegal means or did they get it some other way?

[dave]

I can assure you, without the proper permissions it is not possible to view a users email address if it has been kept hidden.

 

With all due respect, are you sure you didn't include your email address in correspondence with them?

[typeratlast]

Hi all

 

YES catergorically I have never given him my email address and it has always been hidden on here.

 

BUT he definately emailed me direct not through pm etc. Pepipoo are of the opinion we have a rogue mod? Could admin investigate somehow please?

Do you show your email & general location on facebook??

 

If so have you added any friends in the last few weeks who you are not sure you know

[typeratlast]

Only to friends or friends of friends. Mind you, how do you know i'm on facebook? lol Bloody big brother this eh!

[JonCris]

Because face book is one of the major sources for info used in ID theft. There's currently a hacker on their who once he (assuming is a he) gets your email address reads all of your address book

 

Knowing what I know I insisted my daughter remove her email, mobile no (silly girl) also that any picture must be such that it cannot be copied & used to fake an ID. You know no single head shots that sort of thing

[typeratlast]

Oh great! Well either way he has no right to be emailing me in that way. I am sure the judge will find it interesting, harrassment while awaiting a court date etc.

[JonCris]

You can demand he tell you where he got it as it appears he's is in breach of the DPA

[typeratlast]

Yep, will talk to a friend of mine and seek his legal advice (handy knowing a solicitor)

 

Cheers

Hi All

 

Well I recieved a ticket for parking by a private company Combined Parking Solutions of Wolverhampton. I followed the advice on here

 

Next thing I get are some court papers to fill in. So I filled it in saying I had not heard from them regards the letter and denying responsibility for parking there.

 

Now it's gone further to county court and a hearing set for September!!!!!

 

HELP!

 

I've just received a letter from them, it's long but well worth a read please and any advice of what to do very gratefully accepted!

 

 

 

What do I do? Can they do this? As for the CCTV I have never seen it and they don't confirm for instance how many people? They say "children" BUT it was a child for starters so are they playing a game or what?

 

PLEASE HELP SOMEONE

 

Thanks

please do not send them anything.they have no right to ask you.there just trying to get more evidence against you.it sounds like they dont no who the driver was and they cant make you tell them.unless you.ve told them. they will have a camera at the entrance which logs the time you arrived and leave hence photos of you all from behind.deny been the driver its up to them to prove who was the driver.is the hearing at your local court? time to go to www.pepipoo they.ll give you all the help you need to fight this in court and more

[RichardM]

Niel.

 

If you are going to persist in trying to send people to Pepipoo (although god knows why. You obviously think that the members on this board are not good enough to provide identical information when they clearly are), you might at least get the link right.

[PPC Buster]

Pepipoo is not infested with trolls unlike here.

[JonCris]

For myself I couldn't care less where people seek to get help just as long as they get it & if that means visiting a specialist site other than here then sobeit.

 

My only request would be that if they are successful in their fight they come back & share it with us

 

The enemy are organised so why shouldn't we be

[fridgedoor]

The trolls have been very quiet on here since a certain court "setback". Hmm, could it mean one PPC was responsible for all the trolling? From what I can see there is a great deal of overlap between here and Pepipoo and I am sure members of each cross to post on the other site. There is no need for competition, we are all on the same side (well most of us anyway). It is true that pepipoo has a more robust attitude to trolls but when you look at the level of disruption caused on this forum by trolls in the last few months, which was turning into an epidemic, personally I am in favour of a tougher attitude.

[PPC Buster]

When a troll is found on pepipoo they are banned immediately, no fuss involved. Here they are allowed to fester and pollute the forums. Mods here are not tough enough.

Moving a little off-topic here. Can I suggest that a discussion on the relevant merits of Pepipoo or the actions of the mods would be suited to seperate thread or worth PMing the mods themselves.

[Bookworm]

By your own logic, I should presumably ban you outright since your last few posts have done nothing more then denigrate this site, its moderators and try to push people onto another site, which is frankly classic troll behaviour?

 

Here on CAG, we allow people to express their opinions as long as they remain courteous and do not degenerate into slanging matches. When that happens, either side can find themselves on moderation, as some of the Pepipoo crowd found when they wouldn't take heed of the many warnings they got.

[PePiPoo]

[Moderators, if you consider this inappropriate or it's diverting the thread then please feel free to move or delete.]

 

There often seems to be confusion about who is a troll and who isn't, and how to deal with them. At PePiPoo we use the yardstick that the aim of trolls is to disrupt a forum, by starting arguments that divert the discussion from the original topic and turning it into a pointless and ineffectual flame war. To this end they will post anything they think will trigger a row, regardless of whether they actually believe it themselves. Trolls we do ban quickly.

 

However simply having and expressing a view contrary to the majority opinion does not make someone a troll. We welcome differing points a view, and as long as members are open about any affiliations we have been robust in protecting "dissenters" from any mob mentality.

 

At the end of the day I don't think there's any substantive difference between CAG and PePiPoo in our approach to trolls. As with the sites themselves, there are some differences in emphasis, and probably PePiPoo does clamp down a bit harder. However it's good to have some variety, our goals are similar, and people should use the site they feel most comfortable with. PePiPoo has it's own particular focus, and isn't trying to "poach" CAG members!

[Mossycat]

I'm at a loss as to why CPS requested a copy of the Insurance Certificate of the OP.

 

It may well state that only the policy holder is insured to drive the vehicle under that policy BUT I could quite easily have been the driver of the OP's car on the day in question driving it under the 'Insured to drive vehicles NOT owned or leased to the policyholder' of MY OWN motor insurance policy. Whilst this would only afford me third party protection it would mean that I was perfectly legal and adequately insured (legal wise).

 

CPS really need to think things through properly

[Hobbie]

I'm at a loss as to why CPS requested a copy of the Insurance Certificate of the OP.

 

Because Perky thinks his a cop and has the authority to request a copy for examination?

 

I think most likely to see if it lists any other drivers, as has been said previously. If no other drivers are listed then he may well think he "has them" and can get some £££'s out of them, but I think he has forgot about the Fully Comprehensive policies, whereby anyone insuranced to drive a vehicle who is covered fully comp, is then insured to drive another MV third party, SO LONG as the second MV is not the policy holders.

[fridgedoor]

The other thing is that Perky is clearly not Brain of Britain. You would have to be pretty dumb to bring along assorted journos and paparazzi to a court hearing only to lose. Expecting our prolific trolling friend to understand the intricacies of insurance cover is a little ambitious. Perehaps if we all explained it really slowly to him and drew diagrams?
