Returning to the scene of the "crime"

Posts: 1,090 Forumite
My car was parked (by another peron) some months ago in a Car Park "managed" by Excel some months ago, and I received a series of increasingly demanding attempts to part me with my money for a 21 minute "overstay". These have now dried up.
On returning to this carpark recently, I noted our car had some close attention from their [STRIKE]goon[/STRIKE] Parking Operative. They have cameras at this site. Are they organised, or am I paranoid?

What do you mean,close attention?!
I wouldn't dream of parking somewhere like that if I was already in dispute with them...0 -

Same here - they might clamp the vehicle if they determine there is an oustanding 'request for payment' on it."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0 -
You give them too much credit.I all have learnt is from others on many sites.
Seek legal help if unsure.
Dont pay Private Parking tickets - they are mere invoices.
PRESS THANKS

By "close attention" I mean stalking around near the car chattering into a Walkie Talkie.
In dispute - well I had ignored them. They've given up.
Are we giving them too much credit? Does their camera alert their people on the ground to a "non-payer" turning up?
Clamping with no cause, especially in the current climate - I'd love to see them try!

Unless they went to court and got a CCJ and you didnt pay it then they call in the baliffs all in the space of the time you park there for.I all have learnt is from others on many sites.

I do not think Excel operate clamping etc. (see their website). Just PCN's. As such they cannot do anything about the ticket you have rightly ignored. Not without a court order!
By the way.......I'M PARANOID........!!!0 -
Maybe they were just admiring your car, James_N. Nowt they can do except take you to Small Claims which you know they won't do as they lost a couple of cases.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
