Have you seen the date of that article? It's funny they don't quote all the recent cases which PPCs have lost. Just keep ignoring these clowns.

Ah the classic Perky Set-up of Mr Thomas

Seeing DRP have a scrolling list of supposed CCJ's against unpaid parking charges, why do they persist in quoting the Thomas case. Can we assume the cases on their website are pure fiction?

It makes me laugh when the say it sets a "precedent" at best it could be persuasive if used in a similar case!

What they always fail to add is that Stephen Thomas proved himself liable!!

Come on DRP/Zenith/Parking collection services or who ever you are this week, show us one of your own defended and won cases!!

The thing is and I say this about all these fictions on websites, why have them at all ? If their charges were that legitimate there would be no need to quote anything as a real business wouldn't need to advertise such things, for example a solicitors website would it have a list of recent cases it won ? Or a list of houses they completed for clients ?

Basically quoting on a different parking company's success just reinforces the fact that they have no successes themselves, and if I was looking at this as a newbie I would be asking why put a rival's successful case on their website.

I have just looked Debt Recovery Plus up on Companies House web site and they are registered as a Financial Intermediator ?? Now I have looked up the definition of Financial Intermediator and there is a list of what they do and a list of what they should not do and number 2 on the list of not to do is * Debt Collection Activities !!!!

So this just clarifies to me that ignoring my letter is justified and if it does go any further the mere fact that they are registered as a Financial Intermediator should be grounds for having the charges dropped, as they can not pursue them !!!
