VCS Centertainment Sheffield

[mark_ashley]

Hi Guys,

 

New to the site and have been having a read around and there is some good info on the forums, especially considering this issue:

 

I got a parking ticket by VCS for parking in Centertainment, Sheffield. It was for parking outside a designated bay. I do not believe I was, although the rear of the car may have been over the line behind me, but saying this there was nothing behined me to which I was obstructing.

 

Now after reading all the advice on this forum I am firmly in the mindset to ignore them. Im pretty principle led to be honest and if I was on yellow lines etc, then fair play. But in this situation I have no time for these companies. Especially as after leaving the car I saw 3 of their staff waling round, one on their radio saying "I have a car here, they may have moved a cone, can we do them?"!!!!

 

My question is, sadly I emailed them disputing the ticket straight away, and I have replied to their response saying they will uphold the charge. On at least one of these occasions I said I had parked the car, only now do I realise I should have kept quiet, but ho hum thats life.

 

Will this make much difference in terms of me ignoring them?

 

Below is a pic of where I parked:

 

This is the pathetic letter they sent me which must be one of their generic letters as it goes on about my permit, which seems to have no bearing on the situation?

 

 

 

Cheers for any help and advice, will keep you all updated, hopefully despite me saying I did park the car (albeit in a place I saw as no problem) I will be able to ignore this issue unitl it goes away.

 

Thanks, Mark.

Ignore all tickets and correspondence from private companies.

Can I assume that the only way these companies ever make any money is by people being bullied into paying then?

[HYMN AND MI]

Correct. There are several threads at the moment with further info: just ignore.

Yup I spent a fair few hours tonight reading details.. onto my next issue now, sorting out PPI claims!

PPI: don't use a company as they cost money. I took Halifax to court and settled. Contrary to what we are being fed in the Press, Lloyds and Bank of Scotland and HBOS are not willingly paying back!

start a new thread in the PPI section

 

as for the letter

forget it

we dont need to see it.

 

if you must upload stuff use:

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets

as a picture[jpg] file

remove all pers info inc barcodes etc using paint program

but leave all figures and dates.

 

goto one of the many free online pdf converter websites

it would be better to upload a multipage pdf

than many single ones

or if you have PDF as an installed printer drive use that

or use word and save as pdf

open a new msg box here

hit go advanced below the msg box

hit manage attachments below that box

hit the add files button on the top right

hit select files, navigate to your file on your pc

hit upload files

NB:you can set where it goes in the post by hitting insert inline.

Cheers for that mate. Have posted in PPI, luckily I focused on looking for documents for that rathen than retyping the letter. Only wish I had found this site before originally replying to the notice left on my window!!! And the only reason I decided I wasng going to pay was that I was in a bay and they want £80 (£120 after 7 days)!
