Vibe Leisure

Those of us who remember the long-drawn out saga involving PCN UK Ltd and allied companies will undoubtedly recall another seemingly associated company - Vibe Leisure Ltd.

Well, it is pleasing to note that, according the the most recent membership list available on the BPA website, the company have achieved membership of the BPA Approved Operator Scheme - a most auspicious event :cool:.

Vibe Leisure have a new web offering and this may be viewed here.

A quick trawl through the documents on their website suggests that V-L have moved away from the "old", "real" offices in Chorley (as opposed to the mail-drop Reg. Office in S. Wales) and have taken up residence in different premises only a short distance away.

The one immediately available "name" is by no means unfamiliar.
My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    Still spouting the same old nonsense:-

    Stating you were not the driver at the time of the contravention and failing to provide the driver details is not looked upon favourably in court and you will be held liable for such charges should the matter proceed.

    Once we have received the registered keepers details we will pass them onto our debt collections company who will either visit your home to collect payment or they will issue a County Court Summons to appear in a local Court for a subsequent appearance.

  • The law does not look too favourably on harassment either. Note the link to CAB to try and give the scam credibilty. Hold your heads in shame CAB.
    Still waiting for Parking Eye to send the court summons! Make my day!

    It would be nice if our Chorley members could have a look-out for any car-parks that seem to be managed by Vibe Leisure, especially PCN-UK's old stamping ground of Gala Bingo and that unadopted road.

    your vehicle will be sold to recover any costs
    Are they able to do this without a Court Order??

    Also just noticed:
    From front page - Early Bird Discount
    discount if you pay your PCN ticket within 7 days
    Then in same paragraph
    Once you go over the 7 day mark your discount period payment will have ended and there will be no further discounts after this point
    Then on 'Appeal' page
    An appeal will be accepted in writing or electronic format within 14 days of the issue of the PCN

    How about that logo? It looks like the coat-of-arms of some fifth rate Balkan republic from before WW1.

    "Your job will be to locate bandit vehicles and immobilise them by the use of a wheel clamp."

    Surly, if they are "bandit vehicles", that's the job for the police?

    I like their myspace page which weirdly for a company purporting to offer business services have photos of nightclub dance floors. Even better they have randomly put a picture of a board room table which I assume they are trying to pass off as their own but it's obvious it's been lifted from another site as it's for a company based in Newcastle.

    Even odder they have a picture of Ash's office http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3662222&id=320967371661
