private parking ticket

Options
My husband received a VCS parking ticket although he was not the driver at the time. He has sent your template letter informing them of this fact but they have replied saying that unless he informs them of the driver's name, they will continue to pursue him for the £120.

Can they do this?


~Thanks

    There is no template letter for dealing with these guys - IGNORE is the only way!

    VCS's particularly short and pathetic letter chain is in the forum sticky. Read that and be assured they will not take it any further. :)

    No they can not and Mr Renshaw-Smith owner of VCS and on the committee of the BPA should know better.
    They can politely ask you if you wish to tell them, but you can politely ignore them as advised above.

    Ignore...ignore..............&.............ignore...................
    I had one from "PARKING EYE" during last Christmas.Had 3 letters, each with increasing penalty figure.I just kept quite and made no communication.
    And in first week of Feb, I was flummoxed to receive a letter from them saying that they've dropped the charges and I don't have anything to pay:j
    Ain't they cute?????:rotfl::rotfl:

    You can either ignore.

    Or, if you prefer, write one more letter telling them that, since they have been informed that he was not the driver and therefore owes them nothing, any further letters making demands for money are unlawful harassment and will be actioned as such. Then collect them and issue a claim. That is what I did and I received substantial damages when the firm made the error of carrying on regardless...

    Yeah of course you did :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You simply do not understand how stupid that comment above is.


    Haven't you got some threatening, but ultimately powerless letters to write?

    Much like your statement around your visit to a court in Portsmouth. Or indeed your insistence that your invoices are valid despite thousands of them NOT being paid.


    Times must be desperate if you have the free time to troll this forum. So come on then show us proof of how many cases YOU'VE won in say the last 12 months ?

    I dare you to come over to North Stand Chat and post your drivel - you'd get Jamie'd in an instant.
