    Ignore them, its a sneaky way of gaining information, that's all an appeal to these companies is they are never allowed!
    All the time I have been here I don't think I have ever seen a successful Excel/VCS appeal!
    By supplying what they have asked for you would save them £2.50 DVLA fee, and give them the drivers details.

    Even given that you have contacted them you will almost certainly only receive the usual letter chain, file them and ignore them!

    Although from what it sounds like, Excel would have already forked out the £2.50 fee as it sounds like a invoice in the post & not a monkey in a high-viz jacket putting it on your car.

    Anyway it doesn't matter, what matters is that you ignore them and ignore the retailer whom has foolish enough signed up to this protection racket.
  • Again, many thanks for your reassurances. Much appreciated.

    I have lived in this town all my life and have used the car park as a meeting point to pick up my children when they have gone to town with friends (as it's a 'safe' area, well lit, busy and away from the road), drop my elderly mother off in town, meet my husband after I've done the shopping etc. Even today as there are a number of shops surrounding the car park, my husband nipped in to meet me.

    I am so angry that despite this being an integral part of MY town, idiots like this can come in, set up a business and in reality prevent me and so many others like our family from using a part of OUR town that has been in existence well before they set up their cowboy business.

    I fully understand the need to pay for a service but heaven's sake, it's like paying a toll to pass through.

    I've already started spreading the word about these 'bad guys'.

    Thank you!

    You are spot on there. These people are nothing but verminous parasites. Tell everyone you know not to pay them a penny, and tell them to tell everyone they know... hopefully your community will get rid of this scum.

    Know your enemy. :)

    He was once charged with demanding money with menaces which were later dropped.

    My Granny would have knocked him out! :D

    Now he does it for a living. And a very good one. Just shows if you use a letter instead of a flick knife the sky's the limit!

    She'd be in a long queue. I'd be at the front. :T

    I wish I hadn't posted his photo now. Every time I see that evil grin ... :mad:
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
