    • Speeding "tickets" are not like parking tickets. They cannot be appealed.  No you won't get one of them cancelled. They were two days apart and so will be treated as separate offences. If your speed was 53mph or below you will be offered a course for one of them (cost of about £100 but no points). For the other you will be offered a fixed penalty (£100 and three points). If you want to decline either of those offers the alternative is prosecution in court, where the financial penalty will be considerably higher. Make sure you respond to the "requests for driver's details" within the 28 days allowed. Failure to do so will see you commit a more serious offence which carries a hefty fine, six points, and an endorsement code which will see your insurance premiums double. Also make sure you submit your driving licence details if you accept a fixed penalty.
    • So if I've understood correctly, you had a meeting with a company who employ PPM to manage their car park, but PPM gave you a ticket and the company refuse to get it cancelled.  Eh???!!! You are being somewhat secretive with the details and it would help us to give correct advice if you would be crystal clear about the story.  Who did you have the meeting with?  What is their address?  Why do you think it was them who called in PPM?  Were you informed about the matter of the permit by this company?  Etc.
    • What a disgraceful shirking of responsibility.  Par for the course though I'm afraid with Iceland. You could get nasty and send them a version of the below (you know the local area so change what needs to be changed). Unfortunately the people who are replying are having to comply with the company policy which is being foisted on them - which is not to cancel tickets. But you might as well send the mail and try.   Dear Cissy, thank you for today's mail. Of course you are "able" to cancel the charge, you simply contact Excel and tell them to cancel the charge. I will wait for exactly 24 hours and then contact the local newspaper XXXXX and the local radio station XXXXX about Iceland's disgraceful disability discrimination.  Nothing much happens in Gravesend so I'm sure both will be happy to do a piece which will generate terrible publicity for your store and drive away customers, which is exactly what you deserve. Yours, XXXXX 
    • You are absolutely right to be cautious. It would be helpful if you will be prepared to send me a private message containing details of the outlet and the address et cetera. It might help me to get things more into perspective. So I understand that you had a business selling your husband's photographs. You were unable to continue your direct involvement and so you made an arrangement with a manager who you trusted to carry on the business for you while you were recovering elsewhere in the country. Is this correct? This manager has possession of all the files of your husband's photographs. Is this correct? Do you have any copies of the files? You made a reference to having a Co-op. Does that mean that you are running a Co-op supermarket or groceries outlet? I don't quite understand here. In terms of the possibility of continuing the arrangement with this manager – my own view is that you need to bring the arrangement to an end and I don't see how you could trust them. As far as I can see you are asking about two issues. Making sure that the files in the manager's position are destroyed so that you regain control of the photographs. Obtaining some damages for the loss of revenue. How many photographs do you believe are in his possession? What you estimate is your loss of revenue so far – probably calculated on your average revenue over, say, the five years before you stopped your involvement in the business? You are talking here not only about a breach of contract. You are talking also about breach of copyright and frankly you're also talking about deliberate copyright infringement – which is a criminal offence. Also fraud. Additionally, if you begin the dispute with this person, I would say that they will probably leave immediately. Have you got somebody else to run the business or would that be the moment that the whole thing collapses? If it is the latter, then this is something else that you need to prepare – somebody to take over as seamlessly as possible   Also, do you know the address of this person – and do they own their own home or any other assets?  
    • Just as i thought (from above post) : i just hope this is not the normal customer service that say they cant do anything and that you have to appeal to excel parking 🙄 this is the response my friend has received today - totally ignoring the subject which was: 'victim of disability discrimination on the part of your agents' does anyone have any ideas to reply with please?     Thank you for your response.   I would like to apologise for the error in the previous email; our CEO, Tarsem Dhaliwal had received your email and tasked ourselves in the Executive Resolution Team with looking into this.   We have raised this with our internal property department who have more information on parking charges and any appeals, we can see that you had appealed the PCN with excel which was rejected, you then appealed the PCN with IAS which was also rejected.   Because of this, we would not be able to cancel or refund the charge.    I understand this may not be the outcome you had hoped for, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.   Kind regards, Cissy

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Looks like you're getting good at this guessing game :lol:

 

It's not a guessing game, others here know the order of the letters, the font, the colour of the font and the eventual drying up of beging letters containing the words such a May or possibly or could etc

Integrity? A private parking company?! PAH!!!!!! spat my tea on the keyboard!

 

You will learn, the letters will come regardless...

 

Well they rejected my denial as expected.

 

Fortunately for me I was picked up on the local council CCTV system at a time G24 claim I was parked at Wickes.

 

I have not yet obtained the CCTV footage as it will cost me £20, so I have written to Wickes asking for the money if they want to see the evidence. I intend to ignore G24.

 

I have also complained to the DVLA and asked for compenstion as they supplied my details to G24 when G24 actually supplied them with incorrect data. Later I will suggest that I cannot see how they can keep suppling data to G24 when they obviosly have faulty systems and the justification they give cannot be relied on.

 

So G24's system must be seen as faulty and the more people that complain then who knows.

 

It makes a nice break from decorating during my retirement.

Hi,

My son parked in Staples Car Park last December and was about to pay when I saw this thread. Im so glad sites like this exist!

 

We got the letters from G24 etc and ignored them all. All was quiet for a couple of months...phew I thought..then get home today to find a phone message asking him to ring DLC on 08448009449 without delay. Looked them up and they have a website as debt collectors. Im guessing that we just keep ignoring the calls! bit stressful though!

Yes...they will send a few more and then stop...I got about 8 to 10 letters but all have stopped now...

i just recieved a letter this morning.same circumstances as yourself.my wife was driving my car and i was in work .i will be ignoring it :))

Hi all,

I am hoping that my parking fine is just like the others i have read here and unenforceable...

 

My fiancee parked on the Sports Direct car park in St.Helens on April 4th for just under 2 hours. The car park was also mainly for a store called "No Frills" but since they closed months ago the car park is no longer controled by barriers and the guy in the hut.

 

roughly 1 week later i recieved a letter from G24 LTD that shows my fiance's car entering and leaving the car park with the time and date on the pictures. they say ithat she over stayed the 1 hour free parking time and are demanding £95 from us.

 

The letter says because i was the registered keeper of the vehicle at the time of the contravention i am responsible and the £95 Parking Charge must be paid within 28 days.

 

The photo's of the car do not show who the driver was (it was my fiance but the cars registered to me), i also have my own car and i was at work at the time this all occured. Am i right in thinking that because they are coming after me for the money and i can prove that i was in work at the time then there is no basis for them to come after me for money ?

 

should i ignor this letter? Has anyone else had dealings with G24 before?

 

This is quite worrying as we can't realy afford to pay this right now and are worried that they can enforce this riddiculous charge on us because there is in fact a sign up in the car park saying that 1 hour parking is free but after that a charge of £95 is to be applied.

 

Please help as we dont know what to do.

 

Thanks,

John.

Well Wickes phoned and they are telling G24 to cancel my parking charge "as an act of goodwill"

 

So it may be a waste of time writing to G24 but worth writing to the actual owner of the car park.

 

Good luck to others having problems.

I have no idea why you even bothered to contact these crooks

 

...you don't need luck just ignore them they eventually go away...others please don't be silly and contact G24 or any of these crooks they don't understand meanings of phrases like..."your camera was wrong etc. etc."...they are only after one thing finding people who they can defraud...neither Wicks nor G24 have any point in law by which they can make you pay...why don't you give that money to a charity if you really want to spend it....

Hi everyone,

 

I'm totally new to fines like these but i've been sent a charge notice everyone seems to be talking about from G24. They say i've overstayed the allotted time in the Freeport designer village car park and owe them £95, which they will gracious bump down to £75 if I pay up now.

Suffice to say I took my friend for a day out so we saw two films, had a lovely lunch and did some shopping which is now ruined by this notice I just don't have the cash to pay.

I'm really hoping this isn't legally binding and will just go away if I ignore it. I'm in the middle of writing to G24, the Freeport management company and Cineworld management but it sounds like maybe I shouldn't bother with G24?

Any advice would be incredibly gratefully received!

Many Thanks

B.

You have answered you own questions. Do not contact the parking company, but do write to the other two organizations. Tell them you will not be using their services again until they get rid of G24. One final thing, it's not a "fine", it's an unenforceable invoice.

The key thing to remember that it is not a fine...just ignore it...you will receive about 6 letters...ultimately threatening you with court action, debt collectors, death and destruction etc. etc. etc....it stops in about 6 months time...go to YouTube and search for - "How to deal with Penalty Charge Notices issued by private companies" and follow the advice therein...please, please don't respond to this gangster organisation...spread the word

Hi guys,

 

How happy am I that I found this site.

 

I was about to write to G24 stating that I wouldn't be paying their 'fine', when I thought I'd google them, and saw your link.

 

I was parked in Wickes, Chelmsford for about 15mins, but went back about 6 hrs later for another 15mins, and lo and behold I had a letter come through with two photos showing my car coming in and 09.10am and leaving at 15.00, and a demand for £95. No mention of the pictures they must have of me leaving at 09.25am and arriving at 14.45.......Luckily i have the receipts for my purchases.

 

They are trying to [problem] me obviously by saying I had been there all day.

 

What a bunch of thieving b*****ds.

 

I am looking forward to now ignoring these idiots and seeing what they are prepared to do.

 

Oh and I hope they do start phoning me........I love a good wind up.

 

Cheers guys.

Im quite amused by a lot of these worried posts. I had a civil enforcement notice once from G24, 'Fine' 0f 95 which they offered to drop to £75. I promptly whacked out an invoice of £115 (That I offered to drop to £95) for their letter taking up space on my doormat and sent it back. Imagine my disappointment when I didnt get any of the lovely letters that you guys all seem to have got!! I was gonna get em all put in a lovely collage and everything lol! :-)

I just put further to your legally unenforceable civil notice, I serve notice that your unsolicited letter has taken valuable space on my doormat.

 

In order to leave space for other important items of mail I have a policy of no junk mail.

 

Therefore you as the sender of said unsolicited mail are now liable for the fee of £115 as set by the owner of said doormat. (Me)

 

I am prepared, as a gesture of goodwill to reduce this fee to the amount of £95 if paid within 7 days.

 

Please do not ignore this letter, as ignorance of this fee may affect your future ability to gain credit and may result in my instructing a debt collection agency in enforcement of this fee.

 

Regards,

 

Blah blah blah.

 

I never got a reply.

 

Sniffle. :-)

Hi guys,

 

As a quick update to my 'penalty charge notice' I wrote to the centre which the car park is for and the manager very politely said he'd waive the fine as we were using their facilities the whole time. Ironically I got my 'you haven't paid with 14 days' notice yesterday so I shall happily let them waste their postage until G24 get the point.

Quick update;

 

Just had my third letter today from Gwhatever, except this one is now from CCS.

 

I must admit I'm finding it amusing to see what is going to happen next.

 

 

I wonder if, when I dont hear from them anymore, I'll feel a little bit abandoned. Like a relationship spurned.
