    for some people, getting into trouble with a parking company is more than paying the fine is worth

    we are the same people that would give the school bully our dinner money so as not to get thumped


    Well, pay them if you are that spineless! They love fools who do that. But don't be advising others to do so, when you don't even need a pair to see them off- just a waste paper basket.

    Do you send Nigerian people money do they can transfer funds into your bank account? That can be very very scary, when you get one of those emails.

    those e-mails are often very politely and eloquently worded

    Where is the sock puppet when you need it?
  • Thanks everyone. I'm pee'd off that I was sucked into the scam. I'm going to try the co-op store and see what they'll do. It's clear they were expecting people to call them about the parking by the way the 'script' was read out. I won't be so naive next time.

    The sad thing for me in this is the co-op, they are an ethical company who pride themselves in doing the right thing, yet they have employed an unscrupulous unethical private parking company to harass their customers, its a massive double standards issue for me.

    They should be ashamed of themselves, can I suggest in writing to the CEO of the co-op as well as the local manager, if you are going to complain go straight to the top in this.
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?
