    This Ealing Broadway location is infamous for this 'company' and its antics.

    The above posters are correct and I fully endorse their posts.

    I recall some publicity of which the gist was that they were to be stopped.
    So much for publicity. It may be worth searching for it and following it up with some strong complaints.

    I would consider have a t-shirt printed with brief but relevant facts and walking around in front of the station for an hour or two.
    Are they still using the same operative to take pictures ? I hope that no one
    stands in the way when she is trying to take those pictures.
    Or at the rear of the vehicle so that the t-shirt is in every photograph.

    Hi all,

    Sorry if I am not doing this in the right way but I have also recieved a letter yesterday from a debt recovery plus.

    I got a parking charge notice from Ealing Park Direct for £150 (got it in march and the charge was for last November). i wasn't driving my car and, after reading forums on this site, I ignored the first demand notice, as well as the second.

    Then yesterday i got a letter from Debt Recovery Plus, and I have typed out what it says here (pls see below). please can anyone advise me on what i should do? The thing that worries me is the bit about "see our website for CCJs we have successfully bought against people".

    Do i ignore, or should I write to them and state i was not the driver (and i have evidence I was at work on the date and time) and that i am under no obligation to say who was driving?

    Any advice would be VERY gratefully recieved as i am rather stressed!
    You mean something like this: i47.tinypic.com/i5bw4g.jpg? This is what I just put it throught the shredder. You didn't break the law. They are trying to make you pay for non-ordered service...

    See the answers on the other thread you posted on.
    I've split three posts out of the sticky thread and into this thread started by the OP to avoid duplication :)

    Did you open an account with them as well ? LOL
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    Because they get lots of money:

    Why, have the crooks given you a ticket too?

    Go out to Ryman's and buy yourself a bin, so you will be in a position to deal with their correspondence.
