hi abi82

I recently reveived a penalty charge notice in leeds from uk cps ltd. i wasnt the driver however I am waiting for all the threatening letters to arrive. I will be ignoring them too, so stay strong and don't pay. I have spent some time on here reading similar stories and I havent found anyone who has been taken to court by these [problematic].

Can you imagine if indeed they did take someone to court and lost. That would be the end of their sordid business as the media would have a field day and nobody would ever pay again. It is just not worth them taking you to court and losing so they will just try and bully you instead. They work on a percentages game. If a certain percentage pay, they make a worthwhile profit. Don't pay and stay strong !!

You seem to have grasped the idea

They have:

 

Judge says Excel parking fines illegal - Mansfield Chad

 

Sadly though its not really a media storey that is likley to change anything and the Powers That Be don't seem to keen to actually sort the problem out. The DVLA certainly have a vested interest in so much as the get a few pounds for ever RK request they get from these PPC's. They won't want to stop the gravy train.

 

PPC's will continue for the forseeable future and unwary people will get caught out. Some who may even contact their local CAB and be told they have no option but to pay !

 

Best you can do is let family and friends know how the system works so they don't get caught out.

Your are solid. Do not contact them or mention who the driver was on any forum on by PM to anyone. Loss in small claims means nothing. What we want is for them to win in small claims and then get appealed up to a court of record. They have to very careful who they take to court on the very rare occasions they try it on. the seeds of their own destruction lie waiting there

[Abi82]

first solicitors letter arrived yesterday - stomach is churning but i'm not going to respond.

 

i did see the parking guy on friday in the car park taking pictures of a car on his mbile phone! he was a big fella driving a lil peugeot.

[kiptower]

dont worry about it

the solicitor may shout scream @ you throw his toys out of his pram , but he is a nobody he has no power over you , regardless of what he write's

[Abi82]

hopes so

i'm not going to buckle - i'm just having a stomach churn

[letshelp]

i'm not going to buckle

That's the way to really hurt them.

thanks

 

bit spooked out with letter it is really arsey:

Graham White

notice of intended legal action

 

You were written to by LDK Security and their agent Roxburghe requesting the settlement of a CIVIL PARKING CHARGE. Due to the absence of payment, or a valid appeal, our client has instructed us to proceed with legal action to recover amount due.

 

therefore, it is a legal requirement to send notice of INTENDED LITIGATION before legal proceedings are issued in the county court. This letter fulfils this requirement.

 

TAKE NOTE; the costs associated with issuing a claim is as follows:

claim issue fee £30

Solicitors cost for issuing claim £50.00

Judgment costs £25.00

Warrant issue fee £100.00

solicitors fee for issuing warrent £2.25

TOTAL ADDITIONAL COSTS £207.25

Any judgement registered against you could seriously affect your chances of obtaining credit in the future, as this information can be made available to any interested parties via the register of judgements, orders and fines and remains there for 6 years.

 

in the event of a judgement order not being adhered to, we may instruct Bailiffs to attend at your address who are authorised to seize goods for sale at public auction in the amount claimed plus all statutory interest.

 

please contact us with your proposals for settlement within 7 days to avoid the possibilty of this action

 

yours sincerely

 

michael sobell

solicitor

 

regulated by the solicitors regulation authority registered number 272121

 

so sorry to go on x

[crem]

If you do some word searches in the forum with some of the words in your letter, you will find that the same tat has been copied by lots of people on CAG. It's a standard letter with lots of "ifs" and "maybes" none of which will actually happen.

[kiptower]

as it says INTENDED LITIGATION, maybe sometime, maybe next year, maybe never

 

these **** of solicitors think they are some sort of god and you will do what they tell them

 

they wont go near a County Court with these cases , because they know they dont have a case in the first place

[Michael Browne]

Hmmmm, I see they've added Warrant fees of £102.25, which wouldn't be payable until all the following have happened:

 

a) they issue a claim

b) they win

c) you don't pay within 28 days of the judgment

 

Scare tactics?......perish the thought. Must just be a clerical error;)

[Abi82]

deep breaths and ignore

 

thanks - all your help is appreciated x

[diskmandave]

Most of the people that are helping you have a LOT of green reputation

marks under their user names, in fact, Michael has the highest achievable.!

So take comfort from the fact that you're being well advised.

 

Please do continue to ignore as advised, as you're close to the end of the

process now before they give up and move onto another mug.

 

Good luck and best wishes, Dave..

[Blagton]

deep breaths and ignore

 

thanks - all your help is appreciated x

 

Swap your deep breaths for a Glass of Red Wine - no need to panick !

 

"Micheal Sobell" is a solictor who rather than use his own name trades using the name very similar to a rather more reputable firm.

 

You might also note on the letters you have that the phone number for Roxburghe is just one digit different to that you have from "Graham White" - strange that they are just a desk away from each other in the same room.

 

Fear not

 

Blagton

[lamma]

G.White - laughable stuff. You are solid. relax totally.

[asmodeus]

Abi

 

Your next GW letter will state that it is in your best interests to contact them as this will not go away

 

IGNORE because it WILL now go away

 

Plenty of good causes that desperately need money and these scumbags are not among them

[Abi82]

thanks, i really appreciate all the advice, sounds good to swap deep breaths for red wine too,

 

me thinks i'll have a look at the phone number bit on letters

 

thank you so much again, no doubt i will be back with another panic soon lol x

Somewhat of a different situation and not really connected to the OP of this thread.

 

If you indeed did receive a PCN - choosing to ignore a PCN, subsequent correspondence (Notice to Owner and so on) and not either paying it or challenging it in the correct manner will land you in doodaa.

 

I'd suggest you start a new thread and post pictures (with personal details removed) of the PCN you received - both back and front.

is that not what i'm doing?

sorry i'm such pain

[letshelp]

No, the ticket Blagton was refering to was issued by the Council (who have real powers). Not the clowns you are dealing with.

regards

P.S. You are NOT a pain.

[Blagton]

Don't panick - you are doing the correct thing - sit back and have another glass of wine.

 

If you look again at my you quote you will see it was in responce to Ruthill who hijacked your thread with his own situation of a council issued PCN. This is not the same as a PPC issued Invoice.
