This week my daughter received a letter from Roxburghe Debt Collectors regarding a civil parking charge that had been unpaid and it said £140 should be paid in 7 days. We were shocked as this was the first we knew of the matter so I rang Roxburghe to explain our situation - I was not happy with the way the conversation went with them. They refused to send me photos (under the data protection act they have to supply them if you send a request in writing by the way)!!
I rang LDK Security directly and explained we had no knowledge of the notice and asked for photos which they duly sent immediately by email. When I saw the photos it was clear that a notice had been issued but somebody had removed it from the vehicle before my daughter returned to the car. Having looked at the photos I would have said that the vehicle was parked on a public highway - I had already contacted the police and the local council to confirm that the road was not private. LDK explained to me that the section of road where my daughter parked was in fact privately owned by a company who own property in that area. As there was no clear indication that it was private property and it appears to be part of the highway they agreed they would waive the charge on this occasion. Not the actions of a cowboy company - I feel they were very fair and dealt with me in a very reasonable manner.

If you believe you were parked legally/correctly then appeal the decision having researched your grounds. If you park where you shouldn't bit the bullet and pay the ticket - you are in the wrong!!

OOh look a brand new poster praising a ppc. MMmmmm

Trying to illegally scam cash out of drivers parked on the public highway, not the actions of a cowboy company??!! No, of course not.

Of course they did once the penny had dropped that you had sussed them vis-a-vis it being a public highway.

Your rose coloured glasses are really very nice looking.

Wut? Why - if the "ticket" itself and the justification used to attach it to your vehicle is fradulent?

Cheers

PS Sorry guys to butt in but I've been reading this section with great interest just recently and had planned to remain just a reader but the apparent naivety of some people is just breathtaking.

You pathetic little troll. Who are you trying to kid with the rubbish you spout out? You getting desperate on how much you ppc's are losing? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You come on here spouting pure clap trap. Hopefully you will be unemployed in the not too distant future. :):)

Advice? yeah, totally ignore it. Let them spend some more money on postage by sending you some more to totally ignore.

Oh how i would love to see the faces of PPC scum when they look at these boards day in day out and wondering where their money is going. :rotfl::rotfl:
