PPC's and Spreading the word

[stuartford]

Just a question regarding these PPCs. The advise on these forums is very good for those of use that search but a lot of people dont they just pay up. Would there be an issue with putting flyers on peoples cars?

Ive just been to my local Sainsburys and the Euro Car Parks man was ticketing again. i put a couple of notes on the cars he had ticketed telling the owners to check the internet before they pay anything. i hope that they trakle my advice and at least have a look. Where would i legally stand if i produced a flyer that i could put on cars that have been ticketed? I would like to give the crooks a bit of a hard time and watch them disapear back to the hole they came from.

 

Any ideas would be good

No law against advertising an internet forum. Get leafleting!

[stuartford]

Think i might knock somthign together, ill have to be carefull about the wording though. Ill point them here if thats ok?

 

It about time we stook up against these crooks and the Huge companys that hire them to ticket the shoppers of their stores.

Of course, if you do put flyers on cars in a supermarket car-park, it's no different from somebody leaving leaflets advertising the local pizza-parlour.

3 points to bear in mind:

 

1 - You can get in trouble for damage to the cars/windcsreen wipers.

2 - You can get in trouble for littering.

2 - Because the leaflet would actually be advertising CAG, they're the ones who could be held responsible.

 

Sorry for the negativity, but I experienced this 1st hand when I was leading a team of leafleters and we decided it would be a good idea. My DEAR, the complaints!!!

your post isnt negative its the reason i asked the question. I need to understabnd how to do this without causing a problem for me or any site on the net. It may be better to point people towards just doing a google search on certain key words.

 

I will only be putting these flyers on cars that have been ticketed. i use the car park lots so see the Euro Man most days.

I LIKE that idea. :-D

put the leaflet inside the envelope containing the invoice.

I have left notes like this in a few car parks.

You dont have to specifically mention CAG, you could tell them to search for specific phrases in order to educate them about PPCs

Finger not pointed at anyone in general then

You need only put on the leaflets something along the following lines.

 

"For advice on challenging this parking ticket go to

CAG

PEPPIPOO

MONEYSAVING EXPERT"

 

Giving links for the above 3 sites. If the supermarket objected to thease leaflets they have 3 sites to complain to.

[Al27]

'Challenging' and the term 'parking ticket' gives far to much credence in my view.

You have to remember that many motorist have no experience of the validity of PPC tickets and should be led gently to sites such as this.

 

In my view if you put a leaflet on their car saying "this is not a fine", "you don't hve to pay this" and "this ticket is unenforceable", you are overloading them with information, which is not only counter-productive, but would lead to the PPC and supermarket being pro-active in stopping you placing the leaflets.

[Al27]

I get your point.

 

Maybe "Watchdog advises ignoring private parking invoices such as this.

 

For more information, Google:

How about not using the words "fine" or "ticket" at all?

 

Something like:

 

DO NOT PAY

After seeing the parking "ticket", most people will first be shocked/annoyed. After a short while, their attention will turn to trying to avoid paying the charge.

 

Their curiosity and the flier will do the rest.

I have done flyers where I live, talk to people but they still wont park because they are too scared to. Afriend of mine who works for an insurance company told me I should pay my "fine" (her term) as these company's rarely lose a case. Too many of the public are just totally gullible

[lamma]

name the insurance company. who wants insurance from fools ?

Yes Crem, you have won a scamvoice, please pay £75 within 14 days or it will rise to £24,000,000,000,000.53 excluding solicitor cost, passing paper between desk costs, you may be subject to a deluge of waste paper if you dont pay now

[mightymouse_69]

What would an insurance company know about PPCs?

 

The friend is probably right though... PPCs hardly ever loose a case. In the same way that my Nan has never lost a case, because she has never taken anyone to court!

[lamma]

they should know plenty about contracts. their business is based on them.

With respect, our bod down at Direct Line might just be the receptionist.

a receptionist - in an on-line business. odds are against it.
