Central Ticketing excess charge

12467

Comments

  • Do you mean like the Hastings hospital which was charged £10.00 for every ticket cancelled.

    Tickets can be cancelled for whatever reason by any client within a set time, so I am unsure where this has come from but again I can only speak from experience.
  • What the ppc's don't seem to get is that if the "excess charges " were for a complete days parking and not some penalty amount we would not be discussing this now. It would have been paid and finished with. (assuming the days parking was not the same as the penalty/excess charge that is)

    Every site a ticket can be issued every 24hrs and this is clearly known so if a person decides to park for 10 minutes or 24hrs the charge is exactly the same and thats what they agree to when parking.

    You seem to be confusing the fee paid to park, and the unfair "penalties" for breaking your silly rules.

    Grow up with your childish comments.
    Roll on 9am Monday morning when school children are where they should be instead of let loose on the internet unsupervised.

    I see he's now reverted to type, and has fallen back on insults.

    Person A owns land and wants to restrict parking.
    Person A decides that if Person B wants to park then they should pay a fee.
    Person A puts up a sign stating to park here will cost £85 per 24hrs
    Person B parks in clear view of the signs
    Person A gives them a parking charge.
    Person B then winges and moans about it being excessive and all that tosh.
    Well if Person B didnt want to pay the charge then Person B should not have parked there.

    I went to heathrow last week and spent 4 days in the short stay, on checkout it said I owed around £280, but I had prepaid but if I did not pre pay could I refuse to pay the £280 and only offered them the amount of the pre-pay option (which was actually £64).
    What was their loss, was it £64 or £280 ?

    No court in the land would say its only £64 as on the entrance it clearly states the charges and by parking I agreed to them. and its for this reason parking charges get upheld on a daily basis in the courts.

    Are you getting it now ?, Good :T

    Not sure how that was an insult and you considered the post before as OK, but selective paraphrasing is a well known trait of this site and its members. I suspect mine was nearer to the truth though.

    The ones posted on websites are in fact fully adjudged and that means after a full hearing.
    Just to correct you, sorry :D

    Well we know that is a lie don't we haswell, the Exeter one was not defended at all, the reason why we know is because the person was to ill to defend. And the others are just as baseless!
    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?

    You are still confusing a parking fee with a parking penalty. If you pay £1 an hour to park and then you stay for two hours, you only owe the land-owner another pound, not the £80 demanded by PPC's for breaking that "rule". And what about having to pay £80 because your wheel is touching the line, or for not displaying a (meaningless) blue badge? What actual loss has been incurred there? And what if it's free parking?

    Your example above is irrelevant. I imagine that car-park had a pay on exit machine which tells you exactly what you owe for parking there. That is nothing to do with penalties imposed by a PPC.

    Fancy giving us details of a few of these successful cases, so we can see them for ourselves [not that we don't believe you or anything:D:D].
