advice given Coupon-mad or are you schoolrunmum? Some of your posts are extremely derogatory, slanderous and libellous. In addition there are major inaccuracies which are missleading people. Don't be surprised if some people find it necessary to take action against libels and against false advice especially as you do not have a disclaimer of any sort.

PPCs = SCAMMERS
No disclaimers needed, come after me if you wish PPCs its a free country I will not be censored by youExcel 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?0 -
My signature just quotes Martin Lewis!
But I think I might have touched a nerve with someone who HAS-nothing-better-to-do.
Don't think he likes the idea of a disabled person hitting back but someone will I reckon. Also I think he isn't keen on the mention of press being tipped off about their little game.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

This board Coupon-Mad, amongst others as got them mad. They are now losing money hand over fist and they don't like it, tough tittie's.
The scammers make me sick.
I left my calling card on this site;
http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/news/City-shopper-s-fury-unfair-fine-retail-park/article-3198669-detail/article.html
Which is this;
PRIVATE PARKING TICKETS - DON'T PAY!
IT IS NOT A FINE! YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING ILLEGAL!
This is an information page for the thousands of people who receive "tickets" from private companies in the UK ever day at supermarkets, retail parks, and in any other privately-owned carpark.
We are NOT encouraging anybody to openly flout parking restrictions on private land, or to refuse to pay reasonable charges for parking. Landowners have a right to make reasonable charges for the use of their land.
For advice specific to your case, you should visit the forums at http://forums.pepipoo.com or http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/parking-traffic-offences.
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=163
1. What you should know about these companies
It is important to remember that private parking companies (or PPCs as they are often called) have NO OFFICIAL POWERS - that's right, none at all! They give out their "tickets" on the basis that you have seen the signs in their car park and that you have therefore agreed to a contract obliging you to pay a certain sum of money.
2. What happens to people who don't pay?
In 99.9% of cases, absolutely NOTHING! The company pays the DVLA £2.50 to get your address, and then sends lots of threatening letters. In the main, these letters can be safely IGNORED. The only way the company can actually force you to pay is by taking you to the small claims court, which costs them even more money. And they are by no means guaranteed to win! And they practically never do.
The two main reasons for this (among others) are the following:
Only the person DRIVING the car could ever have agreed to any such parking contract. The company can only get the Registered Keeper's address from the DVLA: you don't have to tell them who was driving.
-Many of these charges are so extortionately high that they constitute a penalty, which is unenforceable in a consumer contract.
3. Can they affect my credit rating?
NO! The only way your credit rating could be affected by ignoring private parking companies is if you were taken to court, lost, and then still refused to pay. But they will not take you to court.
IN SHORT
The vast majority of the time, you can safely IGNORE tickets from private parking companies, they are not official fines.
The vast majority of the time, you can safely IGNORE the threatening letters, including those from debt collection agencies.
You DO NOT have to pay a penny of your hard-earned money to these companies. Remember that the chances of being taken to court are very slim indeed.
DO NOT IGNORE COURT PAPERS!
If you receive real court papers from a private parking company (very rare) then you should go to http://forums.pepipoo.com or http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/parking-traffic-offences for help defending the claim. Do not be afraid to sign up and ask questions regarding any paperwork you are not sure about.
Don¿t believe the above? Watch a solicitor on Watchdog advising you what to do with the scam invoices.

THEY ARE NOT FINES
Only the Police, Courts or Council¿s can fine you. NOT a private company, please remember that.

I have hundreds still in my car to distribute when i go shopping. They do get distributed too. Does that annoy you Perky of the pie's? It obviously is because you lot are getting more and more desperate by the day. You, or some PPC scammer is posting on this and other site's each day in desperation. Face it. your SCAM is coming to an end and you don't like it one bit. Tough.
You lot are nothing but fraudsters. So SUE me.
The PPC companies are nothing but fraudsters, a scam.
The pure scum they are. A disease on mankind. I've scraped less off the sole of my shoe.0 -

You've told people to ignore the "100% legal and above board" parking tickets issued by Perky so that he can no longer afford to buy so many pies.
Poor Perky...
...Not :P0 -
