Why do I get the feeling you guys are TRYING to see the worst in me? - Did you ever see 'Remote Control' by Derren Brown? - Some people here must of come from the audience as you have a natural preference for the bad.
I have been a CEO / PA / Traffic Warden for two councils. Naturally that means I did the same for the PPCs too
Jumping to conclusions is not good for anyone.
Sure, I've 'seen' their threatening letters/bluffs.. couldn't miss them they were all on the shared drive any member of staff had access to 'see' them but that doesn't mean I sent them or handed out PPC PCNs. Sure, the PPCs I've worked for do both issue PCNs just like every other PPC out there but that doesn't mean thats all they do. Some have office staff, personnel staff, payroll staff, marshalling staff.. but you guys stick to what you 'know' as that clearly makes you 'right'.
You're going to draw your own conclusions anyway so there is little point me going any further with this.0 -
I think D8 is well out of order, and comes across as rude and uncaring as Perky.
Judge people on what they do NOW, not what they've done in the past. The fact that Tricky is now here offering advice to people who receive these invoices speaks volumes.One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0 -

assuming there was no bonus incentive this was almost certainly min.wage work - and only the gullible or desparate would seek to work in a job like this.
D8 is allowing his disgust at PPC's to spill onto the staff - and in this case someone with health issues.
harsh, D8.0 -
I am not out of order nor harsh.
You have a poacher turned gamekeeper coming on here looking for sympathy cause he has no job and as "health issues" (His health issues didn't stop him traipsing round a car park or a town did it?)but he didn't come on here when he worked for a PPC "when the money was good" telling us how they operate, we all know anyway, and he expects sympathy !
How many pensioners has he been associated with robbing them because they are the age group to know no better and just pay a formal looking invoice?
I am not being rude at all. People do not like the truth when it is told and as you can guess, i have no truck with being PC.
The loser won't get any sympathy whatsoever from me. The MONEY WAS GOOD REMEMBER now it isn't and he is crying, tough.

I have posted before that in many ways the people that PPCs employ to walk their car parks are almost as much a victim of the business model as the people that unknowingly pay up.
I cannot understand this forum at the moment, posters that should be on the same side appear to prefer to "attack" others that are are on the same side!
I personally am getting far more fed up with that, than I am newbies that haven't read the stickers - because they don't actually venture onto the index page or whatever it is called.0 -

I see your role of judge, jury and executioner has come into play again.You have a poacher turned gamekeeper coming on here looking for sympathy cause he has no job and as "health issues"
STILL don't read things properly do you. Just continue jumping to your conlusions. One minute you dislike me because I worked for a PPC now its because I worked for a council going around the town. Seriously, stop LOOKING for reasons to dislike me. Otherwise I might just as well go back into parking just to make you happy. Instead of being a pr!ck, why not say something like "Congrats for getting out, I'm glad you saw the light". On second thoughts don't bother, your comments mean nothing to me now.(His health issues didn't stop him traipsing round a car park or a town did it?)
There you go again jumping to more conclusions. You've no idea what I've endured at work so zip it.but he didn't come on here when he worked for a PPC "when the money was good" telling us how they operate, we all know anyway, and he expects sympathy !
Was I obliged to put my job at risk for you? You seem to 'know' everything about it anyway so why are you so upset about it? You're also assuming I knew the MSE forums existed back then. Another conclusion. You're good at jumping to those.How many pensioners has he been associated with robbing them because they are the age group to know no better and just pay a formal looking invoice?
As I've said to you THREE times now, I've had nothing to do with the PPC ticket scam. But again, go ahead you jump to your conclusions.I am not being rude at all.
Seriously?People do not like the truth when it is told and as you can guess
Yes, thats proven by the point that you refuse to read and acknowledge what I've told you about not issuing PPC tickets.i have no truck with being PC.
What.. now you can't write either?The loser won't get any sympathy whatsoever from me.
I don't give a hoots about your sympathy. I just came here to help others and also to get some advice on how to stay OUT of the parking sector.The MONEY WAS GOOD REMEMBER now it isn't and he is crying, tough.
So with your encouragement reminding me about how good the money was maybe I should go back and REALLY wage war against the motorist - people like you? - Would you like that? - Would it make you feel better that you're wanting people NOT to leave the world of parking? - Would that do it for you?Karma does work.
It certainly does, I've seen it come around for people like you many times including some of my former dishonest colleagues who got sacked for it. Their attitudes were like yours: Judgemental, arrogant and self centered.I have posted before that in many ways the people that PPCs employ to walk their car parks are almost as much a victim of the business model as the people that unknowingly pay up.
Many of them do not know the difference, some do genuinely believe the PPC will take motorists to court. I only found out about it myself just after leaving the council position. When I joined the PPC the role was not PCN based at all and if it had been I wouldn't of taken the job.0
