PPCs using Opt Out for domains

But the outfit passed the most stringent of the BPA membership criteria. Have you got the money to pay our membership fee?

The information can be obtained freely from the website www companycheck co uk (sorry about the space, I'm not allowed to post links since I'm a newbie) it works for other private parking company as well, I only did this one because I just got one "ticket" from them yesterday!! and the data is fairly accurate as I have checked it with mine.;)

I would consider for the membership thow~ any discount/benifit??:D

I think more detailed financial report/annual account can be purchased from the companycheck website, but just dont want to waste any money on those clowns!:rotfl:

True, but you could report them to be investigated for avoiding VAT (probably) like VCS did. Many, many PPCs pretend they should not be paying VAT but they are wrong:

Oh and you could keep an eye on the outcome of the imminent UKPC criminal court case started by Hull Trading Standards. All PPCs should be reported to Trading Standards as they all use the same protection racket and those criminal charges could relate to the whole stinking lot of them:

Just wait for the outcome and if they lose the case, print out a copy of the details (we will post here!) and write snail mail to your local TS office asking why *insert PPC(s) name of your choice* have not yet been investigated for the same scam. You will have to spell it out to TS (and DO NOT phone them or your call gets diverted to the central fob-off line at Consumer Direct).

OH, another one is you can complain to the OfT about the debt collector harassing you over a non-existent debt.

And you can complain to the DVLA about the scumbag PPC getting the registered keeper's details when they are (probably) breaching BPA guidelines. If you word your DVLA complaint that way then the DVLA have to rattle the BPA's cage over the complaint (the more the merrier). Not that the BPA will do anything as they ARE the PPCs, but a nice fat file of complaints doesn't do any harm when the DVLA or Dept of Transport come calling.

Oh and finally a complaint to Watchdog is always good as they have covered the PPC scam several times in recent months and find it very interesting.

So coming back to this again after about a year, to discover again that a number of companies websites are being hidden by the opt out. So far 4 AOS members are doing this after going a third through the list.

And looking at their websites I can see on 8 of them stuff like registered addresses, company numbers and VAT numbers are missing, all duly reported to the BPA and Trading Standards.

What a nice way to spend 30 minutes of my time

As I understand it, it's Companies House you inform about a lack of registerred address on a website.

Hmmm will do that tomorrow then it's fun giving them headaches though, the bpa will have 8 mails to deal with that they can see that it's been passed onto trading standards. It's obviously minor things to give these companies a headache

To report a .co.uk website that has opted out of displaying their address in their whois registration when their a trader, you can report them here. They write to the website giving them seven days and will then display the address.

It works, I've reported a few!

"How do I report an incorrect opt-out?
Please contact our Registrant Services department by telephone on 01865 332244 or email nominet@nominet.org.uk and we will investigate this further. Once we have completed our investigations we will contact you to confirm the outcome."
