Navide Akbar Litigation manager from Excel has stated they have a new strategy!
Ive just had a chat with Navide Akbar Litigation manager from Excel who claims they are putting in a new strategy and are now taking lots more people to court????. He says in his "whole time in the job (one year) that he has not come across a successful defence put up by one of the consumer web sites.
Their marketing team is now going to be making people more aware that they are winning cases.

He also stated that their charges had been confirmed by precedent cases in the high court. I asked him for these and he said he wasn't willing to give me these.

Also he couldnt/wouldnt comment on Roxburghe standard procedures.

So is it all bluff and bluster or Excel trying it now?

    Could this be the new strategy?

    Hi all,
    I am new here, and just happened across this thread while googling the NPO's. today i recieved a court date for just such an order from Excel Parking (Vehicle control services). I have a court date for the 4th of july for the NPO and the 18th for the main hearing for the case against me. As ever, I was not the driver in my case and replied to the court as such, now they want an NPO to make me tell them, unfortunately I was away from home (at work) when the car was used by one of my family members. I have no way of knowing who was driving, or giving them the evidence they require, so i'm stuck, stressed and worried sick.

    Can they elaborate I wonder? It would be interesting to see them but I expect they would be very coy about these as well.

    So he is going to go high profile with the cases they have won, but won't tell Notts_Phil their precedent high court cases.

    Says it all really.

    He's an idiot, that VCS chap. High Court indeed! Litigation Manager my bum! :rotfl:

    He's thinking of the 3-year old Stephen Thomas Small Claim case (not a precedent). He's probably just a pen-pusher who thinks he can blag people into paying if he winds them up on the phone.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Navide Akbar = Naive bad kar..:rotfl:

    That's what Excel / VCS are looking for a "naive bad kar" (sic) ..i.e. people who are naive enough having been a little bad in their "kar" and pay up without realising it's a SCAM.:mad:

    Yes they are taking people to court, however it's the Court of Excel & not any proper court.
