Hi guys & gals

 

Reading my local papaer on line (Shropshire Star), came across a story about a woman who went to court in a fight over a CPS parking charge. Her defence of not seeing the signs was thrown out after she was shown on cctv to have walked passed a sign.

 

The bit from the news story that I thought CAG would be interested in (as it undermines the general ignore advice given) was that the district judge stated:

 

"People go on these websites that say if you ignore private parking firms then they will go away and it simply is not the case"

 

Dont think I can post the direct link but if you search 'Shropshire Star' then search 'Parking wrangle' in the news search box, you should find it.

 

What are your thoughts to this statement?

This pile of nonsense was spoken by Perky and not the DJ. Are we really surprised that he is still coming out with this piffle? The truth is, as his long running obsession shows, that these sites do hit takings. Another cherry picked/set up case where he is so certain of the result that he gets the local papers in beforehand. Who does this idiot think he is fooling? If he was as sure as he tells us that these worthless invlices have any validity he would have taken the "pepipoo challenge" years ago, not ducked it with excuse after excuse. But losing to a decent opponent is not part of the plan for craven Mr P it seems.

Very interesting article, however, the district judge didn't state the above, it was Perky who was the claimant who would have a very vested interest in pedling this propoganda.

Sorry guys your right, I initially thought that the district judge made this statement. It is interesting though that it went to court in the first place. I always thought that CPS et all avoids the court process, as they must know that their invoices are unenforcible in law.

Surely the district judge should of seen this & throw the case out

I like the stance I took

 

Fancied some fun, so told them that as their penalty could not exceed their loss I was very sorry that I had overstayed by the 12 minutes they quoted on the ticket

 

So as the charge was £1.20 an hour, I enlose a cheque for 24p - didnt hear a word after that

omnia praesumuntur legitime facta donec probetur in contrarium

After a few weeks of apparent calm we see our old friend trolling again and low and behold another court setup..sorry....victory for him. I thought as much when this old post thread was resurrected.

He is becoming very repetitive but still seems to shy away from taking the Pepipoo challange. Can't think why? :rolleyes:

What is the Pepipoo challenge? I have googled it and searched both this forum and the Pepipoo one and not found information, only that people refuse to take it.

The adverts that this forum puts around my username and message are not endorsed by me.

It is also worth pointing out that it probably didn't do the defendant any good lying to the judge about seeing the signs. Defence appears to be very poor.

 

Btw, you know what they say about blokes buying flash cars to compensate, I wonder if it applies to blokes who perpetually take people to court over bogus parking tickets ;-) Bitter and twisted me thinks lol

It would be wrong to assume that, because these invoices are generally unenforcable, that PPCs never "try it on" in court.

 

It would also be wrong to assume that a DJ will automatically throw out a PPC claim - the defendant needs to submit a properly constructed defence, not some lame tosh about not seeing the signs.

 

Many PPCs (Euro, NCP) do avoid court altogether, but our pie-eating friend at CPS likes to cherry-pick weak defences and crow about his success - be warned.

Serves her right really if she hadn't parked on someone elses land she would never have ended up in the situation in the first place. I know 2 wrongs don't make a right but it was obvious the parking was not for people going for job interviews down the street. Just because the charges are a bit dubious it doesn't give people the right to park anywhere that suits them.

They have publicly challenged Mr Perkins to issue a member of the forum one of his dodgy invoices in a car park of his chosing then follow it up with court procedings.

 

He has yet to take any of them up on it, as he wont win becuase he has no right to claim penalties on land he does not own.

 

Alot of his website has disapeared as he talks alot of bollox.

I know what you mean, but I'd say the amount of 'wrong' wasn't equal. Something the law is meant to address in terms of not punishing fellow citizens.

 

One assumes if the sign had said they wanted £10,000 it would have been as enforceable. It would all be on the sign after all.

I get hits on Google - Google Search I remember looking this up a while ago. turns out its misnamed, perky issued the challenge and someone on pepipoo accepted it. Cue lots of very loud beeping noises as Perky engaged reverse gear. Actions speak louder than words or what ?

You're right lamma I recall it was a challenge made by Perky that a mod at Pepipoo accepted. He offered to park in one of Combined Parking Solutions car parks and even to have Perky there with camera to film him parking. Despite this brilliant opportunity to silence his critics once and for all Perky shied away. Shame.
