Another Dodgy Hampshire Clamper

MP calls on Portsmouth City Council to take action over Cosham clampers:-

Note the company's excuse for returning all those "appeals":-

Kevin Kelehan of LBL said letters had been sent back to motorists because they were sent by recorded delivery. As City Watch has a post box address, recorded items cannot be signed for.

He said: ‘People should send their letters by normal delivery to the company’s address. They have assured me that they have a robust appeals process in place


To quote the Royal Mail website:-

'If anything has to be signed or paid for, we'll leave an advice card in your PO Box.'
What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Umm, yes. It would be nice to think that PCC had fouled up and failed to get the usual absolute indemnity. Lee Baron Ltd look as though they may well be in line and as for the return of Recorded Delivery items the explanation from LBL is pure tosh.

    The best laugh was looking at Citywatch's "accreditations" page. And the accreditations are what exactly? Oh, the Skills Pledge - "A voluntary public commitment.......":rotfl:
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com
