[F18]

Thanks dx. So I'll post soon as their letter was dated 10 Jan. But before I do, the letter i pasted above is sufficient, yes? 

[FTMDave]

Will deal with the snotty letter this evening when I knock off work.

 

Meanwhile - did you ever contact the CEO of BP as suggested at the start of your thread?

[F18]

I didn’t contact the ceo of bp no, I could do now citing the continued harassment I’m receiving?

[FTMDave]

Well, yes.

 

Some organ grinders are great and call off their minions.

 

Some are useless and never cooperate.

 

It's surely worth a try.

[FTMDave]

As for the snotty letter, how about -

 

 

Dear CST Law,

 

cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  If you were even a bog-standard small-town solicitor, never mind the "highly-experienced legal team" as hilariously claimed on Credit Style's site, you would have done a tiny bit of due diligence before lazily sending out your robo-letter and thus discovered your client's case is complete pants. 

 

Section 3.2.  Government Code of Practice.  Get off your backsides for once and look it up.

 

On top of that your greedy client has invented £70 Unicorn Food Tax.  Bad own goal!  Judges don't like these made-up amounts, do they?

 

Your client can either stop this foolishness now or I will look forward to thrashing them in court, obtaining an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) and spending it all on a nice foreign holiday while laughing at your client's expense. 

 

I look forward to your deafening silence.

 

COPIED TO MET PARKING SERVICES LTD

 

 

I'm assuming the Unicorn Food Tax is £70.  If so invest in two 2nd class stamps (all these fleecers are worth) and get two free Certificates of Posting from the post office.

Typo

[F18]

Thank you Dave! I shall amend accordingly. Yes, it's £70, on top of the original 100. Should I sign it or not?

 

Out of curiously, if, say, it went to court and amazingly I lost - would I be required to pay the £170 only, or other costs on top?

Edited January 27, 2023 by F18

[dx100uk]

yes there would be court fees

most claims are in the range of £250. but we better than 85% win.

 

[FTMDave]

I've corrected a typo in the letter.  Best not to sign it.

[F18]

Posted the letters today, and BP got back to me..! Asking for a copy of the original letter. I assume that's OK to send them?

[dx100uk]

What org letter to whom from whom.

 

Dx

[F18]

The orginal letter from MET parking services to me

[dx100uk]

you mean the PCN.

 

dx

[F18]

Yes that, the one at the beginning of the thread. Providing a copy of that to BP is ok or would I be shooting myself in the foot somehow?

[dx100uk]

of course not, why do you think so?

they are not the NME and the NME sent that too you..

[FTMDave]

That sounds very promising from BP.

 

Of course send them the evidence they want.

[F18]

Well well well, BP cancelled it! See their reply.

 

What seems like long shots are clearly worth taking!

 

Thank you all

again for your help and advice.

 

Out of curiosity, had I paid, who would have got the money - BP with a cut for MET?
 

Thank you again for providing the required documents.  

 

As mentioned previously, parking restrictions have proved necessary in order to ensure our customers always have available parking spaces,

 

however it was never our intention to charge our customers who use the site for our services.  

 

Due to the facts of your case, we have cancelled the outstanding ticket and confirmed the cancellation with MET parking.  

 

Thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention and I hope we will be able to enjoy your valued custom in the future

[dx100uk]

No BP nor any landowner that employs a PPC gets anything, infarct most have to pay an annual fee and pay for permits for their own workforce.  Lots of contracts on here already.

 

Well done on your win

Well done that is good news. And also compliments to BP. They are quite right when they say it is not their intention to punish their customers. it would be good if some of the other big companies would remember that it is  customers who pay their wages not the parking rogues.

[brassnecked]

Excellent, maybe BP will take a closer look at their parking Cowboys now?

[FTMDave]

Well done on your victory! 

[Nicky Boy]

Congratulations.

Sometimes, common sense prevails....

[F18]

Thank you all, I made a donation. Rather you guys have some of it than them!

 

i have suggested to BP they review how MET and any other similar fleecers they employ operate in such a threatening way, whilst at the same time commending them on taking action in the interests of common sense and what is right
