HELP!!!W J Parking are chasing me.

[overandout]

hi,

i hope someone can give me some advice! back in october i had a parking charge notice placed on my car from w j parking. the fine was for £70 or £100 if i didnt pay within 2 weeks.i took the advice of this sight and ignored it, however i have now received a letter through the post saying that i own them £130. The interesting thing is on the back it says that if i wasnt the driver at the time of the 'offence' i need to name who was! the problem being is my car is a lease car. the lease company are great though and have said they wont pay it and will just forward any letters they get onto me. the other thing is the car is used for work and i am not the only person to drive it.i was all set to ignore this but i have become a bit worried now with this letter! there is something else to......havent w j parking gone into administration? if so, are they able to issue tickets? there is no mention of this on the letter, just that w j parking is a trading name for another company. should i carry on ignoring the letters or do you think i should send a response saying that i am not the regestered keeper, but am the higher of the vehicle, but wasnt the driver at the time of the 'alleged' offence? hope someone can help overandout.

 

can i also add that on the ticket they put the wrong street name.(they put the street next to it) does this make any difference?

[flyingdoc]

continue your route of ignoring them.

 

these letters are purely designed to frighten you into paying, and it seems to have worked.

 

Dont pay

Ignore letters

 

They WILL go away eventually.

[overandout]

Thanks flying doc!!! i am just worried that if i ignore them, they are going to start threatning the leasing company. not that they have done anything either!!!

[flyingdoc]

It sounds like the leasing company have their heads screwed on and they will not pay them.

Dont let bullies get away with it.

I am in a similar position with W J - and i continue to ignore their stupid, badly constructed (and probably illegal) documents despite my urge to take all of the best bits of info on here and go to town on them, but spring is coming and i have better things to do with my life.

 

It would be nice if one of the much more knowlegable people on here could create the "ultimate" letter - one that contains all of the relevant law etc and also included the cease and desist note, speak to the driver etc and a "if you contact me again it will cost you £100 in admin fees, writing to me, either yourself or someone associated with you, will be taken as absolute agreement to this contract" kind of thing with guidance that after say 2 letters you send this thing off and if you hear anything again you just send them a pro forma invoice and wait for you cash to come rolling in! after all they started it!

 

The Ignore route is not comfortable but stick with it, they will get bored

[overandout]

thanks for that oncemore. how long ago did you get your ticket? have you had many letters? just wondering how many more i should expect?

[Guest oncemore]

Alleged incident happened last year so around 4 - 6 months, they sent letters to wrong place first (about 3) and now a couple home so think its coming to an end

 

I find it quite funny to count the number of times the letters contain things like, might, should, could, maybe like i could be lucky, i could win the lottery and maybe i will be a millionaire (all about as likely as their threats to come about). Would be even funnier if they had even put the right place down on the original ticket.

 

Keep the faith, keep very quiet and spread the word

you have no obligation whatsoever to tell any PPC who the driver was. WJ Parking are in receivership, if any current letters don't mention that fact then report this to Companies House (check the dates out on a company search on Company House website). Ignore WJP.

Hi everyone...an update of my situation.

Yesterday I received another letter from CCS (who are acting on behalf of w j parking) stating they are now preparing legal papers. And that they have given me one last change to pay (quite sweet of them really) should I just keep ignoring? Or do you think a letter to CCS saying that the fine is in dispute? I would rather just keep ignoring.

 

Is anyone else having hassle off w j parking?

cheers overandout

[Guest oncemore]

Keep ignoring !! it is the same people. see if you can count how many times they cover themselves with words like might, could .....

 

I have had the same so do not worry about it - and like me try to supress the urge to send them a letter telling them in how many ways they are getting stuff wrong

[overandout]

THANKS ONCEMORE...no i will just keep ignoring them!

Please do not worry. CCS can claim to 'prepare' what papers they like (its just another standard template letter). Thier basically getting desperate for your money so will use the threat of court option at this stage. You are nearly at the end of the line now

CSS are well known.

 

They can't even prepare legal papers if they wanted to (or had the IQ required) because it's not their alleged debt.

It's all just more hot air from the PPC/DCA

I am having dealings with WJ Parking and CCS as well.

 

I've had seven letters in total one threatening a 'home visit to secure payment'.

 

The most recent one was unintentionally hilarious. It came with a white envelope but clear in the middle so before opening I could read in massive capital letters in a yellow banner 'NOTICE OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS!'

 

When I opened it underneath in small writing it had the disclaimer 'This is not a court document',

 

I ****ed myself laughing at their ineptitude. Then followed a few paragraphs telling me this was my absolute, final, never again to be offered, last chance to save myself yada yada and that I needed to respond by the 20th March at 10 am to prevent court action FINALLY going ahead.

 

Obviously today is the 20th, I have not paid, I have not contacted them so I guess I can expect another letter in a fortnight telling me my ABSOLUTE LAST CHANCE has been moved to the 18th of April at 8 am or something.

 

Complete clowns.

I think that sums it all up!! Shocking! Lol

kjaye you certainly have the right idea about PPC's - given the fact that you have already disregarded letters from them you would think their logic would suggest that you are unlikely to be rattled by an empty threat of civil court action. You may even receive a final final final final final final warning lol - such a generous bunch aren't they - they offer so many chances to pay their ludicrous [problem] invoices.

 

Keep up the good fight and keep laughing

And just to keep things complete - i have also recently had my yellow banner letter which is a notice of court proceedings - (not really we just want to make the paper look pretty) giving me my last ever, ever, no really it is, please believe us this time, last possible get out option for me to pay before the world ends (you get my sarchastic drift).

 

Wonder what will be on the next one i will ignore ........

Lol Its the final, final, final stage then! This should be it for you now.

[overandout]

hi everyone, just to update you. i have now received my 3rd latter from W J Parking, although this is from a company called CCS Collect. they are threatning a home visit within the next 72 hours, this is to agree payment and investigate my home situation prior to recommending court action. any views on this? should i just keep ignoring? this has been going on for 6 months now. could this start coming to an end soon. the longer it goes on the less worried i am getting as i know they will have to take me to court and win if they want money from me..!! has anyone else had a CCS letter? cheers overandout

[Britainsworstdriver]

Investigate your home situation????? That is called tresspassing, invasion of privacy, harrassment, stupidity, annoyance, muppetry and outright comical genius all in one.

 

Just more BS from them. They cannot do anything at all. The VERY worse they can do is take you to court if they want to lose. IGNORE THEM 100%, laugh it off. They have no case, no chance and rumour has it no little pink thing either!

[Guest oncemore]

Hi - see my post W J Parking - I had exactly the same letter yesterday to add to the growing pile. It has been suggested i phone them and make an appointment for them to come round and then when they do not come bill them for wasted time.

 

As this seems to be a consistant new letter maybe someone there has been on a typing course, maybe they have purchased a new ink refill for their printer, who knows what technological marvels they are now deploying . Maybe we should make a block booking to all see them at the same place and time, now that would be funny.

 

I so wish i had written a letter saying dont know what your on about but any further corresponance will be handled at a cost of £50 or so per letter and now send them bills, make up a credit company name and send threatening letters etc as i can also type, print etc so we are on a level standing - but alas the standard IGNORE is still the think being stated by those in the know so that is what i will do as makes no sense asking for advice and then ingoring it

 

you are not alone, and in some ways it is funny
