Should I pay..Civil Enforcement Ltd?

Or if you paid by credit card call the credit card company and ask for a chargeback, you may need to speak to quite a few people and be forceful though.

Send CAB an invoice for £150 for duff advice advising them that if it isn't paid in 14 days it will increase to £1,000 and after that it may end up in Court. See if they are so keen to advise themselves to pay up - idiots.

The CAB are right in that they can take you to court but it's more likely for you to win the euromillions jackpot and the millionaires raffle in the same week than it is they will take your daughter to court

Hello to all. I'm a first time poster on this forum although I have visited several times previously.

If I were ever to appear on Mastermind, Civil Enforcement Ltd & the individual behind it, one Gary Wayne, would be my specialist subject.
The purpose of my post is, from personal experience, to reassure present & future potential victims of this outfit that you have absolutely nothing to fear from them or their militant arm, Newlyn plc.

After 3 years I'm still waiting for them to go through with their empty meaningless threats. Furthermore, there is no evidence of their ever having taken anyone to a County Court over a private parking issue.
Yes, there is always a negligible possibility that there could be a 'first', but they know full-well they would never take-on, nevermind win a properly defended case. Consequently they rely purely on the uninformed, vulnerable & weak-willed (no offence intended), to buckle under the pressure of the threats & pay-up. Sadly, there are enough of those among us to make the enterprise well worth while.

My advice, in keeping with many on this & other forums (eg Pepipoo & CAG), is to completely ignore them & others like them. Don't be tempted to respond in any way, & certainly don't part with your hard-earned cash to a bunch of chancers who have no more credibility & legitimacy than foreign lottery & Nigerian 419 scammers.

Don't just take my word for it, take some time to research the experiences & advice of many on the forums & you will soon see you are far from unique & alone in your predicament.
Accept & trust that advice.

Hold your nerve, it's a SCAM, pure & simple.

CAB say these people do have the authority to take you to court as knowingly or not she did go over the 2hrs 30mins and they have the evidence to prove it. Obviously life is hard enough without the stress of wondering whether court summons and baliffs are going to be knocking... The unfairness of it all is overpowering but to be honest I felt powerless!

( If you read my post you are obliged to give me £50.00. )

I now have the authority to take you to court, and I want the £50 you owe me, I'll even take a picture of this page to prove it.

This is the same kind of stupid logic these compaines use, along with a sprinkle of intimidation, and threats.
The chance of them taking you to court, showing up, and winning are so remote it is not worth loosing any sleep over. The CAB advice in this instance was very poor.

Sadly it seems to be coming from some sort of reference book they use.

Brilliant post Hadeon, I'd click Thanks 100 times if I could. :T

And shame on the CAB who gave such poor advice to the person in post #40. No wonder the PPCs are profiting from a nation of ill-informed consumers when the people who are supposed to be helping them are dishing out that kind of advice.

Re Gary Wayne - anyone wishing to put a face to the name, please visit the following website first inserting http:// into your browser.

(As a new user I am unable to post with links apparently)

Also explore the 'My Company' link on that page.

Ps - Creative Parking Solutions plc is the parent company behind Civil Enforcement Ltd, both of which are GW operations.
'Creative' is the company that obtains RK details via electronic link from the DVLA, & then uses CEL (& Newlyn plc) as the enforcement arms.
