    Not at all, we cancel hundreds of tickets if an appeal is made and the ticket was issued incorrectly.
    I hear about people like you saying that tickets are never cancelled but unless you work for a PPC then how do you know, people who have a ticket cancelled is hardly likely to come on here asking for advice as they do not need any as they appealed and the ticket was cancelled so again your viewpoint is very much floored.

    As you know, if a person does not pay then the keeper is contacted and formally put on notice and if they fail to respond then they goto court and I am yet to come across a case where a person has not contacted us, we take them to court and then the court sides with them from experience the courts are NOT impressed with people only responding when court papers are issued and wasting valuable court time and this is something these forums advise.
    I can only speak from experience and from facts that tickets are cancelled on a very regular basis and if someone out there who currently works for/or has worked for a parking company tells you otherwise then this matter should be investigated but I think you will find in the REAL world many tickets are cancelled by every company on valid appeals, you just dont get to hear about them as there is no need to.


    What authority, as a private person, have you got to put ANYONE on "formal" notice? I'll tell you, as you have severe delusions of grandeur, none at all, absolutely none whatsoever. Why do you love to use the word "court" so much? If as many people went to court as you claimed they would be choked up.

    You are nothing but a liar. Your sole purpose on here is to try and put doubt in people's minds and thats it. it's not working and oh don't you know it, especially losing money left right and centre so you go on forums trying to sow seeds of doubt.

    You're wasting your time, liar.

    Go find another forum where people may take a liar seriously cause it's not this one.

    You are an insignificant little person who contributes absolutely nothing to society. Think about that sometime.

    Let's take a closer look at that statement "and its for this reason parking charges get upheld on a daily basis in the courts."

    We all know that many PPCs never go near a court. This includes big companies such as Parking Eye, Euro Car Parks, Excel and Town and City

    So that just leaves OPC (who lose more cases than they win) and UKCPS who have a grand total of seven "court victories" on their website. So hardly on a "daily basis " is it?

    Once again Haswell you are being "economical with the truth".

    Even assuming everybody pays up, there isn't any profit in it. Time, travel and effort, plus the sums that have to paid up front make it far from profitable.

    It's marketing (and ego). They just hope that for every court case, 10 other people will pay up.

    Of course this backfires when they keep bloody losing.

    Well hello there Alexis, you have been very quiet recently. I suspect you are busy helping people with their defences and telling them not to advertise the fact on open forum but keep it quiet for when you lose it can be kept a secret and claim you never helped but in the event of you winning then you can come out of the closet and shout loud and proud.;)

    OK tell us how many cases you have won in (say) the last year. According to you it's on a "daily basis".

    And you still haven't told us how you take people to court if you don't know the identity of the driver.

    We are waiting.


    The reason he wants to keep his dealing quite is to stop people like you finding out the identity of the driver.

    As I have said before, if his defences and the argument that "the PPC always loses" then surely he would not care about who knows what cases he is involved in.

    Also, now does his dealings with court cases involve anything to do with the identity of the driver its only the person being taken to court who is the defendant.

    Alexis defences are all pretty much along the same lines but after his recent run of bad luck you never know we may see some new and better things from him :p

    A PPC court case can only involve the driver. You cannot sue a registered keeper if he is not the driver. Do you understand that little matter?

    That's how I read things..

    The PPC and the "Defendant" are bed fellows outside of the courtroom.

    The PPC wins judgment by default when the "Defendant" never shows, as agreed.

    Since the "Defendant" and thus his debt are phony, the PPC never enforces the judgment.

    Yet the contrived judgment is loudly waved about the internet to frighten motorists into paying up themselves "to avoid court".

    Costing just £25 to lodge a claim online, and no charge for letting it run to judgment by default, this is dirt cheap propaganda.

    That's probably why a District Judge at Dartford County Court stayed 27 claims issued by OPC: the claims were all fake and the judge was not amused.
