UKPAO have £1000 + costs awarded against them

[Al27]

News from Wakefield County Court today: UKPAO have had £1000 + £61.75 costs awarded against them in a case which looked purely at the harassment carried out by Steve Hall and Mark Clay's company.

 

The case looked at

 

• UKPAO's £3 a day 'liquidated damages'

• The pursuit of a keeper who was not the driver, despite being told 5 times

• UKPAO's threats that they could 'seize the car anywhere in the UK'

• Threats of bailiffs and bankruptcy

• Use of fake barcodes on their paperwork to add credence to their invoices

• The unsubstantiated increase in costs over time

• Stating that the DVLA have been contacted for keeper details when no such request was made

• The overalll conduct of UKPAO

 

Of course, neither Steve or Mark turned up to court. I also believe they were more than displeased when the claimant confronted them in their office in July.

 

I'm looking at getting further details that will help in tackling other PPC's.

Al, was this something you were directly involved in? If so would it be worthwhile issuing a press release on this?

• Stating that the DVLA have been contacted for keeper details when no such request was made

 

 

I suspect the are using the same database of car purchases as that used by MET

 

Have been on to the IC over MET obtaining my details this way and not the DVLA however they were more interested in the garage that put my details on it rather than the PPC

 

Main thing is it is yet another defence should they ever be foolish enough to try court. They have been invited but just will not play ball so remain disappointed

[Al27]

I haven't been involved personally, short of a couple of emails. Our determined claimant has done it all themselves.

 

I'm still awaiting further details...

Excellent result, well done to all involved. Now where is Perky when you want him?

Any details on the car purchase database that they use ?

 

Good news on the UKPAO case. The details should be interesting.

 

the PPCs keep sending out paper so they are bound to send some to someone who has the gumption and the skill to do something about it.

 

 

Look at what has happened to clamping, I bet the clown that clamped Betty Boothroyd is VERY popular with his clamp-mates.
