Simplex Parking Services

[Hirarious08]

Hi guys, first post to this site so your help/support would be appreciated.

 

Well I am another victim of SPS after receiving a PCN when dropping off my little boy at a party and also using the garage shop where I had parked.

 

I received the PCN 2 minutes after parking my vehicle and £6 later trying to ring the company within their opening hours! with no joy. TS basically said that I should pay it as I was trespassing despite using the premises. I was advised to appeal after the owner checked the CCTV and could see that I moved my vehicle within 7 minutes. SPS have declined my appeal because "I left site" even if for 30 seconds, PCN still stands!!!! They have told me that they take people to Court all the time and I have 5 more days to pay the reduced amount.

 

So.....what now. I have read the threads and feel reassured. I also know people who have had the PCN's and not paid them but that was earlier in the year. I am worried that they will start taking people to court and although I would hope a Judge would find the charge unreasonable, I really dont want to have to go to Court. Its stressing me out...I have absolutely no money and I used the premises although they say I only did that because I got a ticket which is not true. Any advice would be appreciated.:?

Hiya,

 

I will move your thread to the forum which deals with this.

post up pictures of all the paper you have from them - suitably washed of all your personal details.

They advised what!!!!!

 

You used the premises, so the obvious answer from TS should have been to tell Simplex to do one.

There is no appeal process (you'll always get a rejection) and they are not telling the truth regarding court - they are just trying to scare you into paying.

 

Ignore them from now on.

email HMCS and ask for the summary history of cases brought by Simplex. Something like this "How many claims have been filed in the county courts (including via Money Claim Online) by Simplex Parking, postcode Xnn nXX How many of these claims have been abandoned or successfully defended." when you get the response post the numbers up here.

Well guys thanks for all your responses!

 

I will look into the HMCS enquiry and let you all know how I get on.

I have not heard further from Simplex since their reply to my "appeal" but I have now got a solicitors letter on the way to them...I will let you know their next move. I am just waiting for contact from Jack Russell. Has anyone had any more developments with Simplex.
