Town and City Parking yet again...

So the name on the letters everyone should ignore is changing...well worth knowing.

A friend of mine has been totally ignoring these clowns (on my advice) for some time following an alleged minimal overstay of their vehicle at an Asda car-park utilising 'ANPR' entry/exit cameras.

The first two pieces of toilet-tissue originated from TCP; subsequent threatograms are courtesy of Whyte & Co.

Do people suggest ignoring these as well?

Most definitely.

ABSOBLOOMINGLUTELY

In my friends case, after 3 attempts (which have been totally ignored of course), Whyte & Co appear to have given up.

Nothing further heard from them or TCP for several months now.
But in the event they should decide to resume their pathetic threats anytime, these will also be ignored.

I presume you are on the receiving end of their junk mail.
If so, relax, ignore everything, nothing, but nothing will come of this

For all intents and purposes, they're the same people. Therefore, the technique for ignoring them is the same.

Yes - that is why the second-to-top sticky (info) thread here shows you those exact letters in pictures and tells you to ignore them! Did you miss it?

Nothing happens except the letters as shown in the second to top thread, you need to read the thread called 'PPC letters and threats' (dont worry about the fake Court papers, it's all part of the scam for a few PPCs, not TCP, their letters are fairly standard as you will see).

See my signature, one click and you are back at the forum view, click on the forum thread called 'PPC letters & threats'. Watch the Watchdog clip, listen to the solicitor on that excerpt - also Watchdog are covering this sort of scam again tonight!

This is not a real fine - it's just like ignoring any other scam, such as phishing emails. I am just an ordinary wife and Mum and I got a fake PCN in a Supermarket car park 4 years ago. I laughed when I saw it as I already knew it was a scam - and yes, I still carried on parking there every single week without any qualms whatsoever.

Each time you get a scary debt collector letter, find 'your' letter in the many pics of letter-chains. See what comes next and ignore the threats, just laugh and play snap with each matching template. Do not even think about writing to the PPC or paying.

You are entitled to be VERY angry with Asda (or whoever is onsite and allowed this protection racket) for exposing you to this harassment - I would wait till you receive some of those 'threatograms' then send copies of them with a strong letter of complaint (not appeal) to Adsa/retailer onsite. Tell them they have just lost a customer due to this rip-off!

Say that you didn't fall for it as you have researched the unenforceability of these fake PCNs online. But it is WRONG in principle for any retailer to treat its paying customers this way because less clued-up people would be intimidated and possibly pay what is simply a scam, exposed lots of times by Watchdog and in the national papers and on websites. Tell them that this racket in their car park is tarnishing their name, etc. etc. Send it snail mail to the Head Office UK address (look it up on their website).

This was never a legit parking ticket, not a fine nor a penalty.

And you can rest assured there will be NO Court, NO CCJ, NO bailiff, NO effect on credit rating.

Welcome to MSE!

Our ASDA has now been taken over by these clowns, they have installed a very complicated system which no one knows how to use..
A woman today got a ticket and I was trying to tell her how to get out of it when the scruffy g*t who was allegedly helpig people use the machine reckoned I was going to get her into trouble and that anyone can take you to court..

B*lloc*s me thinks wish people would blerdy listen when you tell them, hundreds of people have got them in the past month in our lovely ASDA..

Never mind arguing with thick !!!!!! like that, why not do what a lot of us do and have a little printed slip of paper telling people it's a scam and directing them to this forum, which you then put behind the ticket....

And, let's hope that ASDA is seeing the results of its stupidity in bringing in the car park parasites with having fewer and fewer customers... who's going to shop at ASDA, when any gains on the lower prices are more than cancelled out by the cowboy parking charges?
