Like many posters here who manage to use t'internet and forums, I am not in the first flush of youth myself; so perhaps you do over 60s a disservice.
The numpties are those of whatever age, who either pay, or send some random rushed appeal telling the scammer parking firm all about how they...
I think that's the site with a Practice Manager called Cheryl - complain formally to her. She knows about this scam but wasn't very helpful at all in cases I've helped at that location - she needs to hear more complaints and wise up (if it's not her any more, complain to the Practice Manager...
It will be, as this is CEL and they often fold on the first appeal if the driver is never implied. Appeal from the keeper every time (except if the parking firm isn't in the BPA or IPC in which case they can't get your DVLA data and you ignore them).
Sorry to hear that - it's numpties like that who make this industry slosh around in money. Daft to just pay - surely people can Google, what's wrong with them?
Also, it sounds like a parking firm that is not even regulated, as they have to pay lip service to a minimum 40% discount, as well...
You didn't have a fine, and you should never have paid it! NCP would have been a cinch, slam-dunk easy win at POPLA, regardless of circumstances. Never lost one v NCP or a whole host of other useless firms.
It's people who blindly think they have to pay these that enable the industry to grow...
Paying a private parking charge (not fine) is always the wrong thing to do, unless a Judge tells you to after losing in court - almost never seen on any parking ticket forum. It's not about 'getting away with it' either - it's the parking firms who get away with it, because people think it's a...
CP Plus, Ethical or Napier? She didn't pay them I hope - you can't get a PCN for a couple of mins overstay. Can't be right.
There is now a ten minute 'overstay' grace period in any car park (Council or private, if the firm is an 'approved operator' which means nothing much) but only after...
It was never a 'fine'.
ParkingEye have no 'common sense' or customer service ethic, but the good thing is they never sue re Aldi locations. They sue pretty much everywhere else but do nothing about Aldi ones except daft letters. Having said that, these are best cancelled by complaint, or won...
Agreed, trouble is they are taken in by an industry with zero customer service ethic, whose agenda is money and money alone. The two aims are not the same.
There are no good private parking firms and the entire industry should be banned like clamping was in 2012. Won't happen because there...
OK, VCS would never have cancelled it anyway. Keep all the paperwork for 6 years, from PCN to all letters. Warn him about a probable claim & not to panic.
They are likely to get BW Legal (useless robo-claim legal firm) to try a useless robo-claim. Give me a shout if so, I write defences too...
Is this within the past 28 days? Or has he just received the Notice to Keeper (assume he's not a company car driver, because people who wrongly ignore a PCN when the car isn't theirs will get a nasty shock when the lease hire firm pay it then add an admin fee). Send me a pm, tell me which...
