UKPC parking invoice - tesco Faraday retail park,Coatbank Street, Coatbridge. ML5 3SQ scotland

[lamma]

a few people will be looking into PPCs in the new year - or so I have heard.

[letshelp]

Much needed as my husband would just pay up anything. .

 

Please pass him my invoice for £10,000 payable within 3 days:D

regards

My 17 year old daughter is being chased by UKPC and we need all the moral support we can get,

 

 

Your 17 year old daughter can't be liable for any contractual debt. The case is a complete and utter non-starter for UKPC. If they ever did go to court, revealing she is under 18 would stop them in their tracks.

[lamma]

correct. ignore them completely.

[WebFerret]

correct. ignore them completely.

 

That being the case (under 18) - then should the DVLA not ensure that the RK is over 18 before issuing details to a PPC's for the sole persiut of an alleged debt!?

 

Interesting, don't you think, that the DVLA state that the requestor of such information must have "reasonable grounds" to be issued such info - therefore I would say they should have proof that the RK is 18 years or over to have been able to entre into an alleged contract!

Bigbaby has recieved a second notice, saying amount now gone up to £70. Have ignored both letters from UKPC. I have not written anything yet. Shall I keep ignoring these letters or should I write and say registered owner was not driving.

good point - but the PPCs never declare they are pursuing money under contract, merely that its is a 'charge' or 'fee'. still could be some mileage in it though.

Hi guys,

Please help. I've received Charge Certificate saying that it is too late to pay the penalty at 50% discounted rate and that I need to pay £70. But I've never received the first letter. It says Final Reminder issued on 16th of December and I've received it only on 23rd and this is the only thing I ever received from them!!!

[letshelp]

Hi Mergiote and welcome to CAG,

 

Who did you receive the charge certificate from?

UKPC.

 

It was very silly situation cause we've parked in Tesco car park not realising it was only for Tesco customer 'cause there are other shops besides Tesco. It is actually quite big shopping centre. And the most stupid thing that we saw no signs at the time saying you allowed to stay there for only few hours. I don't mind paying the penalty, but not £70...

[buzby]

It really doesn;t matter either way. You did not agree to the charge, it is on private property, and the BILL that they sent you is for you to pay if you AGREE with it. Since you don', ignore these uncalled for demands. You don;t owe them anything, and all they've sent you is an Invoice. Don;t pay it, ignore the subsequent letters for them, their debt collection company, and the latter's solicitors. Thy use bullying and intimidation.. See all these threads and note how many end up in court. (None!).

I think you need to get your head around the nature of these signs and 'penalties'. They are scams, whether they want £10 or £70.

So what do I do? Just ignore their letters? :confused:

[crem]

Yes

[Mergiote]

Yes

 

 

Yes, but what do I do if they will take me to court?

 

Reading all these threads it looks like UKPC has no right issue any penalties, so how come they do this?

 

:confused::confused:

[Conniff]

:confused::confused:

 

Because, like this government, they see the motorist as a soft touch and came up with an idea to make easy money for practically no outlay.

Ditto. They 'bank' on intimidating people into paying - and so many are that it makes it a worthwhile [problem].

Since no 'law' is broken, it's hard to see why your 'offence' should land you in court.

After not hearing anything since end November, White's solicitors rang again on Christmas Eve!!! Fortunately, I was not home and they got my husband who wasn't as pleasant as I may have been. They threatened that since I wasn't going to pay, they would have to take me to court!! I await the notification!!

You will die of old age before this to happens. Save all their correspondence and get on with your life.

Of course they will:D:D:D

[buzby]

What makes you think you're so special that you will end up in court, whilst the rest of us don't? Anyone can take you to court because they say you owe them money, but they have to prove it. Unfortunately for UKPC, they don't want to run the risk of a pile of rejected court actions because it will become known they are skating on thin ice. This is a game, the weak are bullied and pay up. The clever ones follow the advice on CAG and other sites and threat them with the contempt they deserve!

[Vegasgirl]

Had another letter from Graham White today following their telephone call on Christmas Eve. It reads - 'Thank you for your recent communication the contents of which have been noted. Please telephone this office as a matter of urgency in order that we can discuss an amicable solution. Thank you for your cooperation.'

 

I have never written to them and wonder how they think we can reach an amicable solution??? Maybe they are coming to the end of the line with me. What do you think

[lamma]

ignore them, they are just trying to suck you in. or if you want some fun and know what you are doing ring them and ask to speak to Graham White - he doesn't exist as it just a front for Roxburghe. When they admit this (one way or another) ask to speak to Michael Sobell instead and have even more fun !!!

[buzby]

Classic phychology - just another tactic to coerce a response and establish a dialogue to strong-arm a subsequent payment. Ignore it.

[sameagle]

Why are they wittering on about, an "amicable solution".

 

"Amicable" means friendly, and you sound friendly enough to me, and you are amongst even more friends on here.

 

"Solution" is the answer to a problem - you don't have one of those - but they bl**dy well do!!

 

They created it, sit back and watch their antics - it's fun!
