Received a Parking Charge Notice

[CavemanMK]

I recently received a parking charge for £100 from a private company dating back to February.

 

I have never seen a parking ticket for the original "offence" and can't even remember if I did in fact park there?

 

What can I do? Normally in the past, if ever I have received a ticket I normally pay straight away, but I have never even seen this one?

 

Any help from you wonderful people would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

its not a parking ticket

 

it a speculative invoice

Who's the ticket from?

[CavemanMK]

Thanks Dx for the advice.

 

On one of you links it says about writing to the people that own the car park. I think that it belongs to a building that houses several different companies. I can't find an actual company that owns the property.

 

Would I just address the letter to the owners of the building?

 

Thanks

It's from a company called 365 Parking enforcement.

It's from a company called 365 Parking enforcement.

 

I thought they weren't allowed to use words such as 'enforcement' esp in their names as it could be considered misrepresentation of authority.

pers i'd not bother

So an update on my parking ticket. They have sent me another reminder, though this time the charge is £112 that I owe, and they state that I should pay this before legal action begins.

 

Am I right in ignoring them until they give up?

 

Thanks

[dx100uk]

I doubt the letter says 'will'

Please name the company that issued the junk mail. We will then have a record.

Could always ask them what losses have they incurred because that is what a judge would ask them. They cant have incurred ANY losses, so there is no basis for legal action. it's been proven over and over.

Save the letters and use as wallpaper..

[CavemanMK]

Thanks for all the advice, it is all greatly appreciated.

 

The name of the company is 365 Parking Enforcement.

 

I need to get a few more letters to come through before I can cover a wall, but I'll keep saving LOL ;-)

 

Thanks again

As the other members have said, there's a big difference between

 

a Penalty Charge Notice

 

and

 

a Parking Charge Notice!

 

Design and look of a Parking Charge Notice is very, very good psychology. Put frightens on me at first too

Hi all,

 

just thought I would give you all an update and seek some more advice.

 

I ignored the letters from the parking enforcement company,

and since I have received a letter from a bailiff company called Roxburghe claiming that I now owe the money to them plus more.

 

This letter I also ignored, and since then I have now received a letter from gpd solicitors threatening me with legal action in county court

and that any judgement against me may affect me obtaining any credit in the future.

 

I went bankrupt in 2006 and have since built myself up to good scoring after years of struggling.

 

I hope that I am still doing the right thing by ignoring them?

 

As always any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

[dx100uk]

read it carefully

 

I think you'll find they are not acting as bailiffs but mere debt collectors

 

no legal powers

So am I right in understanding that you received a Parking Charge Notice (unenforceable invoice) in May for an alleged incident which occurred in February and it has taken them to September to move it to the Debt collector pile?

 

If they were so certain this charge was enforceable why did it take them 8 months to escalate it?

 

This is laughable even for a mickey mouse PPC

 

Personally I'd just ignore this bunch as they clearly are just going through old paperwork trying to see if another letter will frighten the uninformed into paying their ridiculous charges.

 

Remember you should never speak to a DCA ever, just refer them back to their client as the debt is in dispute

 

The only way you could ever get bailiffs on on your door step is if you went to court, received an order against you and then didn't pay

Here we go now ! I believe that this is one of my departments..........

 

without guiding you to thousands of threads about this outfit, here is how the land lies at the moment..........

 

Look up Roxburghe's address....a debt collector with a consumer credit license that is refused to renew by the OFT.

 

Next visit the law society's website and under "Find A Firm of Solicitors" type in the post code KT14 6ND and you will see 2 firms

 

Graham White & GPB

 

Michael Sobell aged 76 T/A Graham White lent his name to Roxburghe as the "In House Solicitors" so their call centre could fire out the same toilet paper to thousands.....To the lay person the letters looked scary but it was all rubbish...

His only recorded appearance in a court regarding parking was my case in which he was stuffed....

 

Given the benefit of hindsight I should have asked the court for contempt as Sobell actually represented Roxburghe NOT the Claimant on the Court Papers (But that was the disguise.)

 

After stuffing them in Court, Roxburghe paid the Cheque....Now work that one out !!!!!!

 

During another case involving my Mrs, he tried to adjourn and run as fast as he could but the court were having none of it, and pretty soon a second case was lost, however this time Roxburghe refused to pay....so we approached the Client who new nothing about any court cases and they had to pay because the judgement had their name on it.....

 

After the client demanded and had a meeting with steve dargonne asking what the hell was going on, old sobell suddenly went awol (Although still registered there) and as if by magic up pop GPB at that address having done some kind of deal as their HQ is Stratford Upon Avon.....And low and behold a whole new wave of toilet paper appears in the post........

 

So Always remember that Roxburghe are GPB's Client and anything stating anything else is a lie.........

 

As a Tribute to old sobell, here are the comments from his last ever case.....Ours... Enjoy !

 

JUDGE: "The Claimant notwithstanding being advised by the Court that the application to adjourn was not being granted, makes no appearance or indeed any communication with the Court whatsoever. My reaction to that is that any firm of solicitors, and it may well be that Mr Sobell is the only solicitor employed by that firm, but notwithstanding that, any solicitor in practice engaged in litigation who simply fails to attend Court, does not take notice of a message that was left on his firm’s answering machine, even if he is hospitalised, as per the 15th March

application avers, must have some administrative staff to ensure that whilst he is personally unable to work, that the work is going to be covered. The world does not stop simply because a solicitor goes into hospital.

 

And I am not impressed by the absence of any response to the telephone message that was left and the fact that he even thought it was appropriate to apply for an adjournment in the first place when it would have been easy to engage either another solicitor by way of an agency agreement or simply to instruct counsel to attend on behalf of the client.

 

So I am dealing with this counterclaim in the absence of anything from the Claimant and also, as Miss Fever has pointed out, in the absence of any documents put forward in defence of the counterclaim.

The way in which the claim was being pursued is quite frankly a mess.

 

 

The second complaint that Miss Fever makes is that in the letter before the claim and this is from Graham White Solicitors, the letter dated the 23rd October 2012, it says this:

 

 

 

“Registered keeper details were obtained from the DVLA and my

client wrote to the registered keeper requesting either payment or

details as to who was driving the car at the time of the

unauthorised parking events. During various recorded

communications between the registered keeper, you, and my client

you have admitted to being the driver at the time of these events.

Both my client and my firm have written to you on several

occasions to request payment of the above debt and to date you

have not paid despite offering to pay.”

 

 

 

Well, those two assertions are clearly both wrong. And it is a matter of concern that a solicitor would write to a Defendant setting out not one but two grossly inaccurate assertions.

 

 

Please tip my scales if you think this is helpful..cheers

It would be interesting to see a copy of the letter because if they advised they were going to use bailiffs to recover the debt, they may be in serious trouble.

They are not a bailiff company they are just debt collectors. Perhaps you read more into the letter than was actually there.
