Its incredible, even !!!!!! Turpin would not have been like this.
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    It's our old friend LBS who have been featured on Watchdog, and two of whose staff were recently arrested.

    3 people working there own wheel clamping company are facing prison, so I hear today in the news, and a good job too!

    They have extorted money to the value of £180.000 so far, includes 2 men and a woman.

    I hope they take all their assets off them to under the proceeds of crime act!
  • If any MP's were wavering this would convince them.

  • And to think that plod has turned a blind eye to all this thieving and extortion dismissing it as a 'civil matter'. Shame on them.
    Still waiting for Parking Eye to send the court summons! Make my day!

    Do what watchdog did, get them to come for a chat and clamp their car, but unlike watchdog do NOT release it, and charge them a clamp release fee and call the tow truck over when they refuse and tell them it's another fee.

    Other than that I'm sure some people would be willing to slash all the tyres, smash all the windows, and kick all the body panels in.

    How about applying for a ppc pack from one of the scammers then give them a ticket, just give the ppc a reg number and photo, they will do the rest ;)
    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?
