Do you have a CCJ from ParkingEye?

[Michael Browne]

ParkingEye have made a habit of filing court claims using the wrong defendant address and every day the Prankster sees set-aside claims being heard in the court.

 

A CCJ can stop you moving house, getting a new job or even gettigna new mobile phone and stays on your credit record for up to 6 years.

 

It does not make sense that a Parking company can wreck your life without you even knowing, and without them bothering to spend around £1 to check that your address is correct.

 

Statistically, ParkingEye cancel 65% of cases on appeal and a further 50% are cancelled by POPLA, so the changes of the charge being valid are small.

 

However, while it costs ParkingEye only £25 to file a claim, it costs £255 to ask for a set-aside, even if it was ParkingEye's fault they got the address wrong.

 

Casehub are therefore considering taking a class action against ParkingEye.

 

If you have received a CCJ from ParkingEye, the Prankster recommends you register with Casehub. Casehub need around 300 claimants to start the action.

Many drivers are discovering that they have a CCJ (County Court Judgment) against their name, but no idea why. When they access their credit report, they discover they lost a court case they have heard nothing about, concerning a parking ticket they were never informed of.

 

Subject to sufficient group interest, CaseHub will run a class action to get people whose credit rating has been wrecked through hidden parking charges compensation.

if you haven't updated your registration documents, you really have no excuse.

[martin2006]

If those % figures in the OP are correct then it would be hard to believe that upwards of 80% of these cases haven't updated their details with dvla.

 

There must be more to this than simple address issues

[old bill]

If motorists have updated details with DVLA,

then this would indicate that Capita,

who own Parking Eye,

are doing something very dangerous, in the legal sense, indeed.

 

In the first instance,

if DVLA confirm details motorists have given them are correct,

then it would suggest PE are quoting wrong details on court documents,

e.g. putting Street instead of Road when it is, in fact, Road.

 

 

If only a small number of cases are affected in this way,

then it would indicate carelessness in completing court documents.

 

 

However, if the number of cases are significant,

then this would suggest that the courts are being mislead.

 

 

Solicitors acting for PE will know or ought to know that such behaviour

amounts to serious professional misconduct under the Solicitors Code of Conduct.

 

 

The SRA has the power to suspend a solicitor's practice certificate, pending investigation, in serious cases,

or strike them off the roll of solicitors following investigation.

 

 

However, the High Court has immediate responsibility for the supervision of solicitors,

who are officers of the senior courts, and has the power to suspend a solicitor from practising or strike them off,

with immediate effect.

But how does a CCJ for a different (presumably unrelated) address get associated with your credit report ?

your name. Addy will not be unrelated as they well know. It is the abuse of old addresses this posting is about and PE are particularly keen on sending out N1 forms to old addresses knowing the new adress by other correspondence. Ashley Cohen has tried this trick as well (CEL, Creative DEAL etc)
