Good luck, I like the idea of copying in the boss at his home address.

Thanks - he'll be getting quite a bit more mail too

No response from Tito yet ....

 

Found him on Facebook maybe he would prefer to be contacted via this.

 

Looks like a respectable businessman doesn't he?

 

 

And here's his partner Steve Hill

 

[spitfire650]

Had another letter from these maggots this morning - see below - not much of explanation of why the registered keeper is liable, which is hardly surprising as there isn't one.

 

 

 

[Al27]

Ha ha.

 

Computer says no.

[spitfire650]

Ha ha.

 

Computer says no.

 

Simples - but then we already knew a parking [EDIT] has a lower IQ than a meerkat

[spitfire650]

Even though their last letter obviously doesn't warrant a response, I thought it would be discourteous to ignore it ....

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Disputed Parking Invoice: 0226090916001

I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated October 16, 2009.

 

I note that despite repeated requests, you have been unable to provide any credible authority confirming the registered keeper of a vehicle being liable under your contract with Jempsons, and am therefore of the view that none exists.

 

As I have previously indicated, I do not drive the vehicle in question. It is a pool car used by different employees of our business. I am not currently aware of who was using the vehicle on September 16, 2009. While I have absolutely no obligation to provide you with details of the driver, I will endeavour to obtain these subject to being properly reimbursed for my time. I estimate this will take at least one hour, for which my charging rate is £95.

 

If you wish me to make further enquires please submit your remittance in the sum of £235, being £95 for my time together with the two attached unpaid invoices totalling £140, to the above address. Once your cheque has cleared I will use my best endeavour to obtain the driver’s information.

 

Until such time as I receive the payment outlined above, I will be unable to assist you further and remind you, whilst writing, that further frivolous demands will incur an administration charge in accordance with our existing agreement.

[letshelp]

Love it.

Must be my lucky day - TPS Parking have decided to waive the penalty that they were never entitled to.

 

I'd be interested if anyone here knows on what basis a member of the public is not allowed to write to the director of a company at his home address, particularly when the company concerned is in the business of retrieving addresses from databases itself and then sending bogus invoices and threats!

Ha ha ha ha.

 

All I can say is, if you don't like it, don't dish it out TPS. All bullies are cowards - it never changes. Congratulations SpitFire650 on getting your pretend parking penalty overturned.

Thanks - I was bit surprised how easily these parasites accepted the reality of the situation.

 

I guess you can make them back off if you make enough of a nuisance of yourself!

I think you clearly demonstrated to them that you are not a mug and would not be paying their parking charge. Once a PPC have realised this then there is little point in carrying on. All this gesture of good will business is just a euphamism for "we give up".

 

With regards to writing to their director I see it like this. You were failing to get a satisfactory response by writing to the company; therefore, you obtained the Director's address (easily accessible via Companies House) and wrote to him directly with your issues. This seems to be a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

 

In response to their "we will start legal proceedings" nonsense my reply would be - for what? lol

 

It has got me thinking though - perhaps we should have a photo hall of fame for all PPC king pins.

 

Regards,

[spitfire650]

I think that would be a good idea, with a photo, home address, email address and mobile number, if known.

 

Would you like to start the thread? I'll add these two clowns!

 

Its time to fight back against this kind of exploitation.

[Al27]

Cowards.

 

I'd be tempted to send an invoice for the stamps to the berk's home.

Just had a nice email from him too:

 

Without prejudice

The notice was cancelled as a goodwill gesture and was never issued invalid, you were issued a ticket as the registered keeper. We are happy to attend court if required. We also reserve the right to charge administration, legal and any other cost associated with your case including harassment from this point on.

Yours Sincerely,

Again, well done my friend.

Look at this lot at Town and City, they've got more directors than a FTSE 100 company lol.

Why not? Like pigs at the trough.

 

Couple of them look like they were straight out of prison when the pictures were taken - which is where they probably belong.

 

It appears that pirates like this also "police" the mother and baby spaces at the supermarket, rather than the proper authorities, which is handy to know as they are always close to the entrance and a bit wider which avoids some oik banging their door into your car!

I'm helping a chap I know deal with this outfit. They ticketed him at a supermarket for parking in a disabled bay. He is in fact disabled but forgot to display his badge. He's embarked on the ignore route; however, I will be collecting some photo's on his behalf. The signage is very interesting to say the least. It talks about Civil Penalty Notices and says nothing about entering in to a contract to park. I think they are on very flimsy ground. That said, I have never heard of Town and City taking court action.

 

Motley bunch aren't they? I think there might be a touch of job overlapping going on with all those people. I like the fact that the MD was an investment banker - it seems only natural that he should move in to an industry like private parking :grin:

Help above.

[spitfire650]

I don't supposed they have explained on what authority they are issuing the ticket?

 

How can they impose a penalty if he actually is disabled but forgot the badge - at the end of the day he was still entitled to be in the space, and wasn't depriving anyone that was entitled to use it.

Thanks for that - the author of that article knows his stuff. I feel like calling the cops regarding the TPS posstops - there's a breach of the Administration of Justice Act there that could do with investigating.

I know, I might post up a picture of the sign for us all to have a chuckle. You get a generous 3 hours to use the store - I don't know about the rest of you but I can't handle 30 mins in a store, let alone 3hrs. Interestingly, before ASDA introduced this company, their parking area was never more than half full, even on the very busiest days. There was simply no need to use them in the first place. Add to this, there were never any issues of abandoned cars either.

 

Perhaps they issue their Civil Penalty Notices under ther Planet Perky Private Parking Act :grin:.

Find out who the Inspector is at your local station and write to him explaing not just what has happened but also the implications of it and why it must be investigated. Have a look through your paperwork and see if you can find any breaches of the Fraud Act 2006 aswell.
