    I could be far more blunt in my assessment of these companies but new forum rules prevent me from so doing.

    Well we are not allowed to call the ppc what we bluntly think of them, but the debt collectors can only be described as lying cheating shysters, sorry the new rules don't cover them and their often illegal activities, they are fair game to be called scammers in general because in general they are!
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    Hi all

    I parked in a private carpark


    Private means ignore, ignore, ignore some more.

    Yes, really.

    No seriously.

    Yes that's right, ignore.

    No really, ignore.

    Honest it's true.

    Yes, it's outrageous.

    Yes we know you're a nice person, but still ignore.

    Believe me, ignore.

    yeah debt collection - no difference, ignore.

    It looks like the word is spreading http://www.highland-news.co.uk/news/fullstory.php/aid/8504/Parking_purge_branded_a_scam.html :T

  • Good post. The wheels are coming off the PPC gravy train. Expect to hear more from Mr 'Virtually Unenforceable' Troy!
    Still waiting for Parking Eye to send the court summons! Make my day!

    Journalist of the Year!

    Never seen such a decent article.
  • When contacted by the Highland News, Aspect Parking Solutions, which claims to be a member of the British Parking Association and displays the DVLA logo on its correspondence, said it would get back to us after consulting its “legal people” – but has not responded in any way.

    Give them a chance, the tea boy has pulled a sickie and the cleaner is on holiday! :rotfl:

    Think that approved list are just the ones able to ask the dvla for RK details, my question would be, if they are not on the list how can they legally get the info about registered keepers ?
