Local Parking Security LTD Excess Charge Notice

Kite2010

In my experience most pubs whom charge for parking will refund the parking charge when you place the order (in a mis-guided attempt to stop non-customers parking up and walking off elsewhere), so if that is the case than the total loss suffered by the landowner will be zero (as they would have refunded you the parking charge).

Ignore the PPC and ignore that pub, tell your friends, family and work colleagues to do the same and also complain to the manager that you as a paying customer is being harassed by a contractor acting on their behalf and so you will be taking your custom elsewhere.

Hi everyone,


My problem now is what to do because I have emailed them, stating I want to appeal (which M. Lewis in his guide states I should NOT have done!) and naively included my name and address as they asked for it. I can't really follow his and everyone in the forum's advice now, can I, and ignore it because I unknowingly played right into their hands!!

Many thanks for any replies!!!:mad:

Of course you can ignore them now, and yes this question is asked a lot. I just searched the sub-forum for keywords 'already appealed' and most of these results will no doubt include your question:

I also hope that you didn't just find this little thread alone? It's one of thousands and it's a pretty old thread too (not your fault but you missed the current forum, pictures of the letters they send out, everything!).

Quick forum use tip for forum novices:

When you find a random thread on any online forum, take a step back and look at the sub-forum, the board the thread sits on and read the info threads at the top which are called 'stickies' as they stick permanently at the top of the board like notices.

To do this, look at the top of this page for the blue link starting Home > Forums > and so on (it's in small writing, always written as a chain-link on any forum, always with > inbetween each step, and it ends with the name of this thread).

Hope that makes sense.

Now if you try clicking on the right-hand end of the breadcrumb trail link on a forum you can vew the current threads. Please read the stickies (info threads at the top that I mentioned) by clicking on the end of the Home > Forums > 'breadcrumb link' at the top. My signature tells you what to click on to read the forum.

Ignore them completely. But do read up on the scam and watch the Watchdog clip now you know how to find the sticky info threads. And the sticky threads are NOT Martin Lewis' articles on the site, they are forum threads at the top of this board.

Hello I recieved a parking ticket. I was having a meal with my friend. I can only afford to met up a couple of times a year.
We had a meal and when I came out I had a ticket from Local parking LTD. I could not believe it. I had always parked in the same place and never got a ticket.
I got a letter from a solicitor saying I had to pay £60 for ticket.
I wrote to them and said I could not afford to pay. In the end they said I could pay £1.60 weekly. For some reason I now owe them £86.40. What can I do?:mad:

Well you can start your own thread instead of resurrecting this ancient one.

The answers are (i) you don't owe them anything and (ii) you ignore them completely, which is what you should've done in the first place.

Start your own thread if you need more help.

What on earth are you playing at? You are NOT paying this scam, this must be a joke, surely no-one is that daft that they ignore the fake PCN (not a bad plan at the time) and then (stupid idea) panic and ring 'Graham White Solicitors' which is in fact a call centre! :rotfl:

Start your own thread if you need more help. See my signature below, get off this OLD thread and start a new one using the blue 'new thread' button you will find when you click just ONCE to get onto the forum itself to see current threads. See my signature for an explanation of where to click.
