PCN-UK Ltd

Why was the thread closed?

Seriously hope this decent website is not bowing down to pressure from the idiot(s) behind PCN-UK.

  • Yeah.. why close the thread??

    Has PCN-UK got the contract for the MSE staff car park?
  • EDIT..

    It looks like all the posts that named the owner of that (rogue) company have been removed and thats why the thread was closed.

    I think it's best people do not name the individual who started PCN-UK (as a £19.99 start-yer-own-business purchase BTW) and instead stick to the facts.

    ie:

    PCN-UK's methods have no legal standing
    PCN-UK's registered address in Pencoed is a mail drop
    PCN-UK are not a member of the BPA
    PCN-UK hold no SIA licences for clamping or any other parking work
  • As a bonus of course.. by talking about PCN-UK Ltd instead of the owner.. we type PCN-UK Ltd more times.

    So PCN-UK Ltd appears on the page more.

    Pushing this page up the Google rankings for any search on PCN-UK Ltd

    Yes, if I were now to type PCN-UK Ltd (or PCN-UK Limited) into Google then I expect the results for PCN-UK Ltd would bring me to this forum as one of the top links.

    I hope people with a scam ticket from PCN-UK Ltd do find this thread and read about PCN-UK Limited and learn that PCN-UK Limited are a two-bit company run by a man who thinks cyber-stalking, pathetic swearing and threats are OK.

    The owner of PCN-UK Ltd is mistaken. The website for PCN-UK Ltd looks like it was designed and written by a five-year old whose spelling skills have not yet evolved and doesn't know the difference between England and Wales.

    PCN-UK Ltd also don't know the difference between a proper parking ticket and a scam parking 'fine'. PCN-UK Ltd are a bunch of scammers, just like all the other private parking firms springing up like loathesome weeds across the UK's green and pleasant land.

    PCN-UK Limited issue parking tickets that can be IGNORED. PCN-UK Ltd will not take you to Court and you owe them NO money. DO NOT PAY THEM!

    Read this forum first. Read other threds about PCN-UK Ltd. All you have to do is search for PCN-UK in the search box, within the MSE forums, and you will find any threads here about PCN-UK Limited. All such threads will tell you NOT TO PAY PCN-UK Ltd.

    HTH
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Well said.

    I'd just like to add a linky to the original thread
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2075703
    so it doesn't get lost to any newcomers.

    I was thinking earlier. We've only had one confirmed user who says they've got a ticket. Nothing on other forums either.

    Do you think that PCN-UK Ltd, this Nationwide parking company is actually only looking after one or two car parks?

    Yeah but its stuff like that which will get the topics closed down or deleted.
  • Did someone actually post that, I thought it was something someone just found when they googled his mobile number?

    gutted the thread was shut down, had so much fun with the owner of pcn-uk ltd, but like its been stated pcn-uk ltd had a few issues with secretarial blunders so pcn-uk thought it may be best not to tarnish pcn-uk"s ltd name to have the thread closed and to fire their current secretary responsible for making pcn-uk ltd look like a 2 bit scamming company. and with pcn-uk ltd looking to be awarded bpa status as a CONTACTOR pcn-uk ltd may have found it hard to gain this award. pcn-uk ltd must feel that the pressure was getting to much and to hold a intellegent conversation on a forum and that the way the owner of pcn-uk ltd was being rumbled as to his sticky fingers in so many pies, thought it in the best interests of pcn-uk ltd that they went and blubbered about being picked on just like the motorist.

    ooohhh well pcn-uk, we are thinging about you and wont forget you WE PROMISE!!!!!!.
    :D

    And don't forget that the FAQ section of the website for PCN-UK Ltd (or PCN-UK LIMITED) implies that if you ignore their tickets you should expect "visits" which sounds like a threat to me.

    Also the illegal use of a company registration number (06996949). At the bottom of the web page it says it's for a company called "UK facility services LTD.", when in fact it's for PCN-UK.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
