Interesting parking enforcement site....

[ncf355]

Has anyone seen this website?

 

(apologies if its been mentioned before)

 

It seems confused as to whether its talking about council or private PCN's (particularly with the timeline for action where it seems they can circumvent law and somehow get a guaranteed court win and subsequent baliff!)

 

 

Sample:

 

"2. I was not the owner at the time the alleged parking contravention occurred

If you make representations on this ground, you are legally obliged to supply the name and address of the person to whom the vehicle was disposed of (or from whom it was acquired, as the case may be)."

 

 

Is there some way of making a formal complaint about this deliberately false statement, or have they worded the site in such a way so they can use the "we were talking about PENALTY charge notices, not private ones"?

Yes. Trading standards. It is a CRIMINAL offence to knowingly make a false statement in relation to a business, which carries a maximum penalty of £5000 or 6 months imprisonment.

 

This is very clearly a false statement made to look as official as possible in an attempt to fraudulently force innocent members of the public into providing information under the pretense that it is a legal obligation, when in the case of a praking CHARGE notice it is not.

If we all report it to TS, perhaps the volume of complaints will spur them into some sort of action. Isn't there a way of doing this online? RipOffTipOff or some such website?

[kiptower]

even worse the call themselves "Parking FINES Ltd"

[JimmySpangle]

No law against that bit, although obviously just another psychological twist of teh knife to convince the motorist that it is indeed a fine, when it is in fact a [problem].

Interesting site. Everything on it is grossly fraudulent - disgustingly so. They are simply ripping of the decriminalised parking legislation and then trumping it up. The way they refer to these charges is illegal, the language they use is threatening and designed to scare.

 

You are only legally obliged to inform the LA of who the vehicle ownership/registration has been transfered to so that they can transfer the liability for a penalty charge notice. PPC's have no right to demand this.

[GuidoT]

That mod point is not lost on me.

 

I have put it to you straight in a rep comment.

 

Sometimes eloquence does not do something justice, you just need to say it how it is, expletives and all.

[Lula]

This site might have an off-world connection. I'd suggest they come from Planet Perky or some planet like it.:grin:

[asmodeus]

It is designed to have the same look of authenticity as the invoices and the problem is a number of people will find it instead of this site and hand over good money to the scamsters

[PGH7447]

I've been contacted by the DCA pondlife . Can I dispute the Penalty now?

 

No, it's too late. Please speak directly to the DCA pondlife . oops it's copyrighted so I will change a word

OK I've just been doing some checking.

 

The company listed is "Parking Fines Limited". The company number checks out and is registered to the address listed on the bottom of the webpage.

 

If you look at the URL you will see the

 

 

The Wheel Clamping Company is another company registered to the same address and contains some mis-information as well.

 

The registered address is in Blackpool and I guess complaints should be made to Blackpool Trading Standards. There are definite breaches of the CPUT legislation.

 

Blackpool TS have an e-mail address which is: [email protected]
