Graham White Soliciters Over Apcoa Parking Fines

trisontana

Just ignore them from now one. It's not a FINE, it's an unenforceable invoice.

Surprise, surprise, they turned down your "appeal" . Of course they did. Don't forget that they do it "in house" and if they allowed appeals then they would take in less money.

I have recently received letters from Roxburghe Debt Collectors and Graham White Solicitors claiming I was sent a notice in the post for a civil car parking violation at an apcoa station car park. I have never received a notice and had no idea about it until receiving the Roxburghe letter. I immediately appealed against the fine by APCOA but it was of course outside the 14 day appeal timelimit. They have since upheld my appeal on the grounds I appealed too late. I have never received a notice and to this day never have. How can I appeal against a notice I never received? Has anyone experianced this, as after reading the forum comments and doing some exploring on-line it looks like a scam and I perhaps should not pay the fine (£128). Can anyone help me as to what to do? Thank you.

You got it. It is a scam.

It's not a fine.

You wasted your time believing there was an appeals process (think about it!).

£128 - they are having a laugh! :rotfl:

But this thread is ANCIENT, rambling and utterly pointless except as a read-only thread for newbies who may find it by Googling which I assume you did. It doesn't need new posts added as it's confusing to keep seeing this old thread come up again on the first page of the current forum. When you stumble across a forum thread when Googling, never reply on the old thread you first find. Always take a step back with one click to view the forum the thread sits on.

Thanks for the threads this is interesting - Your advice would be appreciated!

Inadvertently, we received a parking ticket. The parking warden had inserted the incorrect Reg number in the two places on the ticket, twice. The ticket stated - pay within 7 days £60 or £100 thereafter.

Upon reading blogs specifically around Excel Parking and incorrect details inserted on a ticket, the recommendation was to ignore them. A month or so later we received a ‘colourful’ letter from Excel demanding £100, however this had the correct reg number on, they must have taken a photo of the car? The following month we received a ‘final demand,’ again for £100.

It’s been quiet for four months until we received a debt collector’s letter from Roxburghe, again we ignored it. A week later we have received a letter from Graham White Solicitors demanding £142 or they will take us to court to obtain £207.25 threatening that this will impact on our ‘impeccable’ credit rating.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Oh the good old £207.25 a nice link provided for you to look at the about 1000 hits for this. They send that out to everyone, and by the way graham white are roxburghe pretending to be solicitors.

Take a look at my signature below, you will see Roxburghe and Excel have been banned from accessing the dvla data link for addresses because of fraudulent gross misconduct, they may have got your details before the ban, but as I ask do you really need to know what kind scum run these companies?

Apcoa had taken the role of enforcers for town residents parking.
Thats right we have to pay £90 to park outside our house and these numpty's have won the contract to enforce it.
As the street is not a private car park do they have more power to enforce these PCN notices they give out as they have the council contract?

As a supposed regular user of these forums, you should know better that to add a complete non-sequitur question to a very long and somewhat unrelated thread. Come on, start your own thread, please!
