He works for a PPC and is desperate to try to stop us telling people they can safely ignore his rubbishy tickets and powerless debt collector threats. His takings must be down for him to be coming on here spouting his nonsense - it just confirms to us regulars that our advice is having an effect on his pathetic, protection-racket based industry.

As the Act itself provides specific provision for civil remedy the willingness of the Police/CPS to pursue all but the most serious cases as criminal matters is effectively nil.
There is also of course a defence for the PPC that just because a keeper asserts that they were not the driver doesn't actually mean they weren't. Not a great defence but none the less a defence of sorts, i.e. we write to the only person who may be a position to respond to us...who else are we to write to ?
Also is it really harassment to tell someone that you may pursue a course of action that is legally possible ?..keepers have been taken to small claims ,where the claim spectacularly fails (usually) but none the less the PPC has carried out what it said it would in the letter.
(Above it could be argued falls under Section 3 (c))
If a keeper provides some evidence that they were not the driver and they still get letters that is of course an entirely different matter.
Getting a letter threatening possible legal action does not amount to harassment if that action is actually possible ..however slim the reality of the PPC pursuing it.
Just because a letter threatens something that you don't like doesn't make it harassment.
However the frequency/volume/wording of letters could change that, but still more likely of success in a civil action as the evidential threshold is so much lower.
just loving this thread "givem f.a " just keep up the brilliant work ...power to the people !!!!!0 -
I'm afraid to tell you that shoving a PPC ticket up the rectum of the PPC employee is not advice we have ever given out before on here.
It sounds quite good though, so I suspect we may start now.Je Suis Cecil.0 -
Well, I won't be discouraging it, I think it would be the kind of "direct action" that Robin Hood would have been in favour of...
... might wipe the smile off the goon's face....
your only real problem might be if he started smiling when you did it.....0 -
Buy a ticket for tomorrow's lottery (It's a rollover, even!)
Then sit and look at it and reflect that it has more chance of winning the jackpot than you have of being taken to court by Parking Eye.
Because if you ignore everything they won't know who the driver was and therefore cannot do court, regardless of the many lies you will be told in the letters!0 -
