Park Watch ANPR PCN - One Stop Shopping Centre Perry Barr Birmingham

[ericsbrother]

you havent appealed and they are telling you this.

They are doing so because that way they can claim that the protocols havent been followed by you and they dont have to consider anything or give you a POPLA code.

 

The thrust of the argument Mark was given was that the signage isnt a contract but one that is prohibitive in nature this menas that ther can be no "performance" by the parking co ( they cant actually offer you anything as a consideration- ie) park here and pay us £90) and since they dont own the land they have to interest in trespass or disobdience.

 

Mark is also a fellow Villa fan so if you support Birmingham City you will be on your own!

Mind you that is normal for St Andrews.

Lonliest job in the world? cleaner at City trophy room.

 

Back to business,

as you have read his thread you will realise that it is a long haul,

not a short hop so advice is wait and see what they send out next rather than be in a rush to waste a tree writing letters that get ignored.

 

 

Ultimately you will be telling them there is no contract and they know it and yoi know thay have been here before and they will be throwing good money after bad in a pointless pursuit if they continue but let them get to a point where they are forced to accept that you arent going to play nicely first.

[ericsbrother]

AS said on all threads in any forum section,

you ignore dca's as they have no powers or rights at all.

 

 

Ask yourself why the sum has gone up to £160?

Did you sign a credit agreement with them? No, so they cant lawfullly demand any more than the contracted fee, assuming the debt was real in the first place.

 

 

They rely on people being ignorant on the difference between bailiffs and debt collectors. DR+ are the parking indstry pet rentathreats and can be iognored totally.

 

Keep letting them waste their money.

If you get a letter from BWlegal or Gladstones soliciotors come back here as you will need to respond but up until that point the letters are harmless.

Thanks ericsbrother and apologies for the delay in responding. I have been away on holiday and just got back to another letter now from a Debt Recovery company with the 'fine' now totally £160 plus the addition of a couple of threats. I would be very grateful for your advice.

 

Btw, my family home is a stone's throw away from the Villa and I used to deliver newspapers to the football club. Do I qualify?

Paras.

Typical c**p from these drips.

stating that if you don't respond to their bumf they will take that to mean you are not contesting that you were the driver.

What planet are they on?

 

The last ones to decide who would be the driver is a bunch of no hopers like DRP who are not even regulated.

 

And the Beavis case doesn't apply in your situation either but these numpties keep using it regardless of how appropriate it is.

 

Do they really think that people are stupid enough to pay them £160

 

funny how with all the advice they give on these letters they fail to mention how to report them to the FCA for breach of debt collection guidelines

[ericsbrother]

trouble is enough people believe their garbage or they would still be in a portakabin in a pub car park

[ericsbrother]

they told you before that an unrelated case was lawful. Well shame they didnt go as far as mentioning their clients case is b0**)cks whilst they are handing out advice, it would save everyone a lot of time and effort

[ericsbrother]

If they were serious about all of this they would explain where the sum of £160 comes from.

 

 

As it is just an amount they have generated believing that being less then £200 most people will pay it

then that, along with the fact they arent registered with the FCA as licenced deposit takers should tell you the merits of their letter.

 

In short all dca's are rentathreats and can do nothing themselves other than make a noise and send scary letters

[ericsbrother]

they are saying that of you dont pay their clients their clients may well do something that has nothing to do with them and then list a load of scary things that arent actually how the world works.

 

There is also that word, IF.

IF they do this or that,

IF they win etc.

 

Zenith arent going to write to you and tell you that if you dont pay up their client may well lose money over this so please feel sorry for them and pay up beacuse they have a number of cute fluffy animals to look after and they would all be taken into care if you dont pay.

 

The next letter wont threaten to harm those cute fluffy animals because you are a meany either.

[ericsbrother]

YES, that was made abundantly clear many posts ago. You ignore ALL dca'sa nd if you think that this isnt working you ignore them some more until that feeling goes away.

Thanks guys, I take it its another to ignore then?

[ericsbrother]

this letter is of no relevance whatsoever,

picking at a couple of things

- if you owe parkwatch £100 why would you be instructed by their solicitors to pay a dca £160?

 

If you understand that DR+ have no third party interest it makes it most odd that a solicitor will be working in their clients best interests by making you give your money to a complete stranger.

 

You could have a lot of fun expaining to Will and John why you arent going to pay

but they wont care that you know they are wrong,

they are too arrogant and greedy to care about their professional reputation or even the law.

 

After all, what would a solicitors have to do with the law?

Ignore this and if you get a letter before action or letter before claim come back here as it will need responding to.
