Oh Dear, Nathan`s at it again (Simplex Parking)

 

This reminds me of the tactics used previously by a certain debt collection company (wes*** credit services)

 

It`s simply a claim form you can download or print online from the HMCS website. It`s a attempt to co-erce money without going through the proper process ie court.

 

Having completed this form,Simplex Parking HAVE to submit this to court, The Court then allocate a claim number and then THEY send a court stamped claim form and explanation pack to the defendant with a summons date to attend on a certain date at a court local to the defendant.

 

A full list of HMCS documents and explanation notes can be found here

Making a Claim

, select "Forms and Guidance" then select County Court in work type and you`ll find a list forms and stuff.

 

There is also a online realtime system here

https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp

You can check the status of any county court claim there

as sweep1 said. plus ring autolease, ask them is there was anything else in the envelope. of course there is a not small problem with the papers if they are real... but let us not mention it in public... at the moment and laughing me head off at incompetence shown. But it is Simplex...

[Duke916]

Thanks for the info Lamma and Sweep1, udate for you all, I have been busy today speaking to solicitors and the police, without saying to much as the wrong people will also read this, I now have a crime reference number, this has been taken very seriously, I feel the tables are about to be turned in my favour. On Tuesday I have been asked to produce EVERYTHING I have and its alot, to Telford police, I will keep you posted:)

Lots of things have gone on today, all I feel I can add is a word of warning to everybody on these forums PPCs most certainly do monitor these forums without necessarily posting, as has been proven today, unfortunately due to the public nature I cannot go into greater detail, those who I know and trust feel free to pm or email me

There is a sticky on this very point:

 

Be careful as to what details and documents you post here on CAG

 

 

Anyone posting on here should read it and take heed of the advice.

[petej2811]

Ladyjan, Im shocked to hear of what has happened to you, and also disturbed greatly that TS are giving out such advice let alone your solicitor !!!!

 

Is there anyone with any legal experience on these boards who might like to comment, it all sounds outragous to me and in my opinion for what its worth should be illegal

 

 

Yes, the advice you've had is, frankly, pants. You need to rethink your choice of solicitor.

 

You can recover these funds for a multitude of reasons.

 

Firstly the alleged debts were unlawful, so you owed no debt.

 

When they clamped you for owing debt they did so unlawfully because you did not owe debt and as such had not breached the T&Cs. That said (and a note to people who are still, stupidly, in my opinion, telling people to stay silent) it would have done to tell Simpleton Parking that you owed them nothing. In any event, clamping is a remedy for tresspass. If the landowner at sites 1 and 2 were different to the landowner at site 3 then I'd contend you couldn't trespass on site 3 on the basis of having any alleged outstanding breaches of contract at the previous.

 

Simpleton are taking the mick. You do have cause of action to recover the funds in full.

[petej2811]

Like I said earlier on this thread, I got done by these people in Telford back in February, I now have a lot of information about the operator, I know where he lives and where he works from, he is not registered at company house, nor is he vat registered, in my case he had no contract with the landowner (written contract), and to top it all it would appear the whole operation is carried out from his bedroom, now who is being illegal? I hope he reads this, come on take me to court !!!

 

If he's not VAT registered I'd suggest you report this chap to HMRC.

hi fellow simplex parking services haters

 

i have an address for these monkeys

it is

Roland Gate

They appear to have a breakdown and recovery service aswell

get this its the same PO BOX 287

 

so boys we know where you are now ?????????????????

 

My son in law got a ticket and we have sent a std letter back from our lawyer. they sent us a notice of appeal procedures asking for all our details,who was the driver our daytime and mobile phone numbers .

as if they are getting them: but just for you guys the driver was

mickey mouse and the phone number is disney 1234.

they aint gonna get paid and we will see them in court.

SO BRING IT ON SIMPLEX YOUR POST JUST GETS FILED UNDER R IN THE BIN my advice to any one who gets scammed by comics is to ignore all communications they send but send a letter asking for any evidence they have and that this is the only communication they will get until the requests are meet. then if they do go to court and they have not answered your simple requests first then do them for harrasment.

BUT DO NOT PAY ANYTHING TO THEM OR THERE DEBT BOYS

just say see you in court.

My parents are pensioners and live in Telford. They recently parked at the Severn Gorge Pub car park at 8am to visit the adjacent car boot sale. After 15 mins they returned to find that Simplex Parking Services had clamped my fathers car. They demanded £200 in cash to release his car (an X reg Toyota). Basically; £200 represents 2 weeks pension and this entire practice is nothing more than legalised mugging.

But dont forget the low life traders (such as The Severn Gorge Pub) who give permission for these **** bags to steal from people. I can only assume that they receive a cut from the [problem].

additionally; a 8am my father was the 9th person "caught out". I notice that Simplex are definately earning enough to have to pay VAT, yet there is no mention of this or the VAT element on their paperwork. This is illegal (you do not want to "mess with" the VAT office). Additionally; do the hosts (or should that be hoists) declare their takings? Why not provide the Inland Revinue with copies of their receipts? - Just a thought.

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I registered after doing a Google search for Simplex Parking and found this thread.

I have to confess that the England match is about to start, and I'm posting this without reading the majority of this thread so apologies if my contribution duplicates an existing post.

I'm doing a bit of research on Simplex after someone I know got stung for £300 from Simplex after parking at Trench Lock Garage in Telford.

They argues the bill down from £700.

My friend then organised a protest of the garage.

Details and YouTube video of the protest of the Garage here.

The garage owner Chris Evans calls his customers '****'.

Chris Evans' wife is Heather Evans.

I had a close look at the Simplex website. Look at the copyright notice at the bottom. Interesting, huh?

A domain investigation reveals:

Registrant's address:

Po Box 287

Telford

TF1 6ZH

United Kingdom

So Simplex are a Telford company.

 

My friend is organising another protest this coming Friday 25th June at about 5pm. Basically they put £2.50 in and then take their time shopping . Anyone wanting to protest against clamping should pop along.

Well done on the action taken, sadly I can't make the next protest but please keep us posted.

Today is 23rd June - presumably you meant to write Friday 25th June?

Of course, you are right. Post edited, thanks.

Hello everyone!

 

I`ve recently had my car clamped by these [problematic] and i want to get my money back via the small claims court, any advice or updated name of person/s or latest address of SPS owner/s would be much appreciated!

 

many thanks in advance

[Guest GraceCourt]

Copy of letter i got today, anyone know of this company?

You might wish to note that the company is committing at least one criminal offence contrary to the Companies Act 2005 and Regulations 6 and 7 of the Companies (Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2008, made under Sections 82 to 85 of the Companies Act 2006, in that the company name is not shown, nor does it indicate the fact that it is trading as a limited company.

 

It has (in tiny print) the company registration number, but it is also required to show the [exact] name of the company, its registered office address, and the fact that it is a limited company (showing the name followed by the word "limited" is sufficient). It's missing from the letterhead, but it must be there. It should be reported to Trading Standards (yes, I know, but if you give up then their "do nothing" strategy will have worked).

So Simplex are a Telford company.

It might be useful to others here to know that the Royal Mail does NOT provide accommodation addresses, a Post Office Box is merely a system whereby your mail can be pre-sorted, e.g. invoices go to PO Box 100, sales material goes to PO Box 200, etc.

 

What this means in practice is that ANYONE is entitled to obtain the delivery address for a PO Box number completely free of charge and without even having to give their name, address, or even any reason for wanting to know. Just ring up the Royal Mail Business Centre or Sorting Office for the post town for that PO Box (cities will have several and you need the correct one), and ask.

 

Note that:

 

• Sorting offices usually only open until noon or 1 p.m. so don't miss them by ringing in the afternoon;
  

 

• Don't ask for the name of the box licensee as Royal Mail will (correctly) tell you that the Data Protection Act 1998 prevents them from doing so. But the other side of the same coin means that if someone (who doesn't know the rules) says that the DPA 1998 prevents them from disclosing the address, point out that the address is not "personal data" within the meaning of the Act, and ask to be transferred to the Operations Manager for that area to complain and to demand the delivery address. You are 100% entitled to do so and to be given the delivery address.
  

[lamma]

DPA does not come into play for potential legal proceedings or to get legal advice. S.35 I think. RM will still claim it of course ! If the address is 'protected' this avenue will not get you anywhere. many dodgy firms have claimed 'protected' status.

Hi all

 

I had a reply to my LBA today from the landowners and they state that Simplex do NOT have permission to be working on thier land, whats my next step? Thanks Alba

[Guest GraceCourt]

I'm afraid I don't know the details of your case but the relevance of the contract between the clampers and the landowner is pertinent to the extent to which the clampers are, or are not, acting lawfully. So, the significance of what you now have is that you can use it to prove to the District Judge, in the arbitration hearing, that the clampers could not have been acting lawfully.

 

Technically, the letter doesn't "prove" these facts in proceedings, but in reality you would supply copies in advance to the Court and to the defendant company to support your assertion that they weren't acting lawfully: that gives them a chance to dispute what you are saying, in which case you would then require them to adduce "strict proof" in their defence to your claim. Obviously, you know in advance that they can't, and the District Judge will have a copy of your letter in his/her bundle anyway, just to make things interesting if they were silly enough to come up with something "iffy"...!

 

So, carry on, and proceed to recover what you paid out as an outstanding debt against the person or company to whom you paid the money.
