Good for you mysteryman2009....

[2onlyme2]

For those who have been fined/billed/invoiced (or what ever they call it now) by UKPC and then been threatened by UKsearch this is what comes after.........

just had a letter from Incasso, who state they are SOLICITORS - (why do they feel the need to put that word in bold caps? maybe they thought I'd be intimidated) in relation to UKPC's unpaid monies.

They have said that if i don't pay in 10 days they may (not will) take legal actions.

not even going to reply, will not be paying. If a court summons ever arrives I will let you know. Until then I will not be losing any sleep over it.

Hello 2onlyme2

 

Just interested how long has yours bin going on for, how many letters, and how much are they trying to [problem] out of you.

 

they sent me 3 - 2 from ukpc and 1 from a dca so far and trying to [problem] £141. at the mo.

[2onlyme2]

since April, about the same amount from UKPC, made the mistake of answering to begin with which only encourages them.

3-4 from UKSEARCH, even though i wrote back to say payment was in dispute and to refer back to UKPC, so waste of stamp if you intend to go down that route.

waiting for the same amount from this lot.

 

the clue is in the letter 'may take legal action', if they thought for they would win in court the letter would state will take action.

 

for those who are worried think about the amount of serious offences that are lost in court based on a technicality. Do you think these parking companies are bright enough to ensure all loopholes are covered, if that was the case we would all be in court!

[m3rzs]

could anyone tell me if they have recieved invoice/ticket from ukpc from merry hill dudley, and if so how long they been ignoring. just interested

[2onlyme2]

You need a court hearing to be issued with a CCJ so they are bluffing. good for you not being intimidated by these [problematic]

 

info from direct.gov.uk

 

The purpose of a County Court Claim

 

Someone you owe money to (a 'creditor') can take a County Court action against you to claim the money. If you pay the amount outstanding, you can avoid a hearing or judgment. If not, there'll be a simple court hearing in private. You can attend if you wish, or just send the information the court asks for by post.

The court doesn't find anyone 'guilty' or 'innocent'. It looks at the facts and decides whether you owe any money, and if so, how you should repay it.

Under Scottish law claims are dealt with differently, by the Sheriff Court.

 

County Court Judgments (CCJs)

 

After the court hearing, the court may issue an order saying you must repay the debt. This order is called a CCJ and will either be for the amount agreed between you and your creditor or, if you can't agree, a payment set by the court.

If you have judgments from more than one creditor, the court can combine your debts and make an 'administration order' - saying you must make a single payment every month to be shared by all your creditors.

 

 

 

Therefore my advice would be wait for the summons (which i doubt will ever come) and if it does you can always agree to settle before the hearing.

hi m3rzs

 

doesn't matter where you got the ticket the respnse from them is the same. remember these companies also scan this site so keep dates/times/places/personal info to a minimum unless you want to assist them building a case against you.

 

it will go on for months but just ignore

[m3rzs]

hi 2onlyme2. i did not say id got a ticket, i would not pay if i did. im just interested if any one on here as recived a ticket whilst shopping at merry in dudley and if so how long its been going on.

[letshelp]

the clue is in the letter 'may take legal action', if they thought for they would win in court the letter would state will take action.

The clue is actually in all the letters they send, if they believed they had a cats in hell of a chance at court, you would only get 1 letter then if ignored they would be straight to court, no ifs no buts.

Or you could fight the case with a very good chance of winning and pay nothing;)

Hi m3rzs,

 

I got mine at Merry Hill, Dudley at the end of November last year and it's still going on. The collection of letters is getting quite thick. However, the debt recovery company changed part-way through from Rossendales to Scotcall so I've had 2 lots of recovery people threatening me with litigation, visits, etc where most people will usually only get 1.

 

The car park there is not the best. Some areas have double yellow lines, some don't. I got my ticket when I parked in an area that wasn't double yellow lines but not a marked bay (it said I was causing an obstruction but you could've driven a juggernaut through there). When I saw the ticket on the car, I photographed the whole area to show the inconsistency with the double yellow lines but, after I read this forum, I never bothered to get in touch with anyone and just ignored everything.

 

Anyway, the last letter stated that they were passing it back to UKPC so I'm hoping that I'm only a couple of letters from the end.

hi cardboard man thanks for the reply keep up the good work. my boss recently had problems with ukpc at merry hill. he spoke to the appeals officer at dudley who was very obnoxsuois, he told her that all mail collections/del would be stopped if they continued to harras us. we dont get any tickets now, i told him to read this forum and judge for him self.

 

i would be interested in hearing how you get on .

thanks

[letshelp]

he spoke to the appeals officer

 

:lol::lol:

letshelp, get your facts right ive spoke to noone, ive not even recieved a ticket.

Well good for you. I was actually making light of the fact that someone mentioned in your post had actually spoken to an 'appeals officer' from a PPC, something the regular and long standing members of this forum would find funny.

If you have found offence in that or have taken it badly suggest you go and complete some calming down sessions.

letshelp, well good for you for repling ONCE again perhaps if you made yourself a little clearer when repling to posts then perhaps people would not take offence. where would someone go for calming down sessions. perhaps you could go.

regards

[letshelp]

I am always calm. It would appear that after 600+ posts, YOU are the only one who has not understood the point I was making.

If in future you are unsure about a particular posting just ask a grown up for clarification.

regards

[m3rzs]

well in this instance it appears that you r not calm, 600+posts or not. u should make the point more understanding, anyone looking would think you were having a dig at me. i suggest you take another look at the post i oringaly posted.this was directed to the person who had recieved a ticket from merry hill. this just shows your pure ignorance and also that you got involved in some elses conversation that really did not have anything to do with you. to finsh therefore i suggest that you ask a grown up for clarification to ask if the conversation was involving you.. GROW UP

[Mr_Eee]

Blimey, it's like a load of kids in here! (Sorry, no offense meant to anyone )

I'm afraid I'm with 'letshelp' on this one, he was definately referring to the supposed "appeals officer".

 

Can we continue the real thread here, which is ONE LONG conversation involving everybody who has an interest.

 

Who's had the most letters so far? I'm personally on 8 now I think.

If you don't want anyone else joining in your conversation, why are you posting it on a public message board.

 

Keep your thoughts private if you are too sensitive towards anyone else having an input.

[crem]

Personally I thought the joke was quite clearly on the PPC having an "appeals officer", and found it amusing. It never appeared that letshelp was aiming the comment at m3rzs to me.

 

Moving on....

[patdavies]

I agree with the last two posts.

 

And at least Letshelp posts in English - complete with capitalisation and punctuation...

[Stargazing]

Some good news. Tesco has arranged for the UKPC charge to be cancelled after I complained to Customer Services. I still don't think they should be using these cowboys, and said so, but I doubt it'll change things for everyone else. It may be worthwhile to write/email the store owners - if there's enough customer feedback, they might have second thoughts.

 

Thanks for the support and advice I've received on this forum - much appreciated, as it was a bit of a stressy experience. Good luck to you all.

first of all no offence taken, however im not really bothered whos side anyone else is on. i am more than happy to carry on i did not take it as a joke but personal to me. but it now seems that others want to join in. like i say im more than happy to carry on.
