Yep would love to and understand why you would say that, unfortunately the [problematic] read these boards too

EB have tried to PM you but apparently I'm too new !!

But thats the point mate - you wouldn't know a CCJ was going through as you have moved. Therefore properly defending it wouldn't arise as it would all be carried out in your absence completely oblivious to you unless I've misunderstood what youv'e said. It has happened according to some articles I've read. I know a CCJ wouldn't happen if I was aware of it as if I lost in court I would just cough up - but if I don't know about it ...... Just part and parcel of the slimeballs that work for these companies. I think the way to handle this is as EB says - give them my current address though TBH I just didn't want to contact them again. (they do have my email address which is fine) One part of me is enjoying watching them run around, with their DRP chums, backed up by so many helpful people on forums such as these - (the internet must have been a disaster for these outfits) ! but then after a bad day at work my attitude changes to something more militant and the mrs has to hide the petrol can !! When you say 'properly defended' is there a sort of standard defence or are you talking lawyers ? - just planning ahead

Cheers EB - only fly in the ointment I can see with that is, according to other stuff I've read, is they only need to serve papers on the last known address and when they don't get a reply they go ahead with court and get their judgement, it appears its a conscious tactic of the PPC's. This is just another abuse of the process between the PPC's and the DVLA - the agreement says that the PPC's should use the DVLA as a trace service to ensure the papers get to the right person, however the PPC's are completely abusing this by driving through (an undefended) CCJ, (because the defendant has now moved and doesn't know anything about it) and THEN using the trace service to get their money. I have already written to my MP about this abuse and am trying to get some figures together as to how widespread this abuse of the process is. So I am still concerned about this as I no longer live at the address and I can't have postal re-direction on for ever at about £80 a year (remember the PPC's have SIX years to chase you) - another issue I have pointed out to my MP. I could of course give them my current address but haven't decided on that yet. Pros/cons ? So unless you know for sure I am talking nonsense (and I would love for you to be able to confirm that) - its still an issue. When you say they got hammered before for a similar thing, I don't suppose you have details do you ? My MP has asked for similar details if I can find them - it appears I've got him onside so want to keep the momentum going with him if I can. From his initial reply I get the impression he's as sick of these companies and their tactics as we are. Thanks for the help to date mate

ericsbrother (sorry I couldn't quote your reply for some reason) Yes allocated space comes with the tenancy. The landlord 'thinks' he swapped it to my name in time but wasn't sure, however within days it definitely was in my name if not before. Without admitting liability he even offered to pay the ticket to make it go away if NP gave the correct details (why would he pay it if specified somewhere else) but they refused !! I'm thinking the courts would take a dim view of NP actually getting an offer of payment if they corrected THEIR mistake ? However the point NP is trying to stick to is they call the area the car was parked in as a different name in their contract - now that may have been specified by the landowner who knows but its absolutely no connection name wise (slip rule?) to the road the car was in! They've also said the photographs make this issue redundant. Thanks for the encouragement - I'm not losing sleep over it, its more tedious than worrying, but would like to a) get it out of the way and then b) provide a route for others to go after them for harassment - a kind of template thing I guess if I can be of help to others. Thanks

Not displaying

Hi, 1) Napier 2) Didn't appeal to POPLA as by the time I asked the above to clarify what they were talking about the time had gone - I went through the pointless motion of 'appealing' to NP - even told them to get the details right and it might get paid. Over a year ago now with bi-monthly trickle of threats. Have told them six times so far not to harass me further but they haven't taken note - I have sought advice for harrassment and getting that together as we speak. No I'm not the landowner - it is an allocated residency bay. Napier keep a record of who the permits are held by - I told them they have the ability to check but they ignored that!! (incase the landlord screwed up which he claims he didn't)

Will keep it brief for now - I received a PCN for parking in a residents bay (my bay) but the permit not on display. However on the ticket they have got an address that doesn't exist, ie the car was parked in a road with a completely different name. However the parking ticket company has now claimed this is not important as the address on the ticket attached to the car matches the address they have specified in their contract with the landowner !! It appears to be a generic name for the whole area as opposed to the actual road name. They have sent me photos of the car - so would this stick in court ? Could the court argue I am being pedantic given I have been given the photos or can I state that the address has to be accurate else I cannot recall the events. Thanks for any help

BEWARE - this poster is a Napier employee/sympathiser ! Sorry this is such a late reply - but you Sir are a Napier employee aren't you !! There are several instances of you clearly showing support for the napier [problem]mers and advising against taking them on. On here, on Pepipoo and others - crawl back under your rock chap - you've been rumbled !
