    It is only theft if the intention is to permanently deprive.
  • According to section 3 of their T&Cs, they can request you to leave your car unlocked. To save them breaking in when they fancy a drive presumably.

    I wouldnt go near one of their car parks.

    Leave your car unlocked ? So if you do such a thing and your car is stolen, will your insurance policy payout? Also who woiuld be responsible should items be stolen from within the vehicle ?
    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?

    In wales all hospital parking is free for visitors and patients, staff have their own parking and that is free also, as I said any charge is a tax on the ill and visitors, what's worse public bodies like hospitals and uni's are using these scam companies up and down the country knowing its a con.


    Don't forget that in quite a few cases the hospital and the Uni has no say in the matter as it will be a new building built under PFI and the charge/fees will go to the PFI vulture.

    The Hospital/Uni can do nothing about it in those cases.

    There is no other option, there is absolutly no on street parking or other carpark in the vicinity. It's not like going to hospital is optional either. They know this as well as anyone of course. :mad:
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
