Thats the one, where Excel took Martin Cutts to court and lost when the judge said the signs did not make sense.

As featured on Watchdog last series,

Deputy District Judge Lateef ruled that the lettering on the signs, at just 13mm high, wasn't large enough to form a contract with anyone driving past them. Simon Renshaw-Smith then said that the judge was "not fit to serve in the civil courts". And he still hasn't changed the signs, as the judge [STRIKE]ordered[/STRIKE] recommended.

To be fair, no one ordered him to change the signs. The BPA (whose job it is to state whether the signs are OK or not) backed Simon. Mind you, he is on the board of the BPA.

Coincidence?

Don't think that judge would have the authority to enforce a change, but did recommend it only

The chances of them having a day in Stockport Court and the risk of appearing in front of the same judge would make the chance of a claim unlikely.

I feel very unloved. I got one of their missives and nothing more.
I could see the operator attaching it to my car as I was at the till and because I didn't bat an eye lid there then ensued a strange conversation. Apparently the 'staff' parking at rear of the shops has been revoked (on Excel's orders) and the staff have to pay for there own parking on there own retail park, they're not happy bunnies. I said park away and ignore any trash stuck on the screen. I told her to do a Google search for the car park and Excel to see if she could find the Cutt's case.

I am so pleased I used google. I have just got a parking ticket at this car park I really didn't see signage, went to hobby craft for 12 minutes spent £30 came out and had a ticket the ticket or claimed to see me at 13.25 and ticketed at 13.37 which is exact time stamp on my receipt. They must have ticketed me and run very quickly as I didn't see anyone! :-( I was going to just pay but now I've read this I won't but I feel like I should offer to pay for a ticket cost of my 12 minute stay as I did not intentionally not buy a ticket..... I am going to write to complain directly to hobby craft for excessive fee and lack of signage. Should I write to excel refusing to pay and offer to pay standard fee plus administration cost?

Write to Hobby Craft to express your anger. Ignore Excel, you have nothing to gain by contacting them. If you owe a 12-minute parking fee to anyone it's the landowner (not necessarily Hobby Craft), you owe nothing to Excel.

No, don't pay and don't write to Excel.

Ignore it and you will just get the same letters we all do - and despite the 'debt collector' or 'solicitor' headings and bold lettering, threatening increasing charges, they really are very easy to ignore (as we all do!).

I am just an ordinary law abiding Mum with a mortgage, a clean credit record and a job that requires an enhanced CRB check (as does my husband's job). I laughed when I got one of these fake PCNs 4 years ago and was very pleased to waste their postage when I got the usual debt collector letters. I recently was amused to get another one on my windscreen and I am awaiting the letter chain with vague interest, just for a laugh.

A private company cannot affect your credit record without a credit agreement (shouldn't think you signed a credit agreement to this bunch of chancers while you were there?!). Without that they would need to achieve the small matter of winning in Court by convincing a judge that you owe them money.

And they can't and they won't affect your credit rating, cannot just apply for a CCJ and they can't and they won't send the boys round.

This will not even make a dent on a penny in your pocket. Do not take it seriously at all; do not respond to the letters in the absence of real sealed Court papers - which will not come. It's all just threats.

All the letters can be seen as picture previews, in the permanent info 'sticky' thread near the top of the parking forum. See my signature for the words to click on, in order to take a step back and see the whole current thread list. You have come here from Google so maybe you thought this was a single thread on the subject? Noooo...there are thousands of threads on this board about this generic scam.

One click and you see all the current threads here. Third from the top, click on 'PPC letter chains'.

1. Watch the Watchdog clip on there, and then

2. scroll down to the pics of the usual threatograms, then

3. Play a nice game of snap with each matching templated threatogram, then

4. Tell your friends & family about the fake PCN generic scam so they never pay one to one of these cowboy firms.
