Shoal Enforcement Clamping

ManxRed

You need to find the info out as I've outlined. The lease for the flat will be in the possession of whoever owns the flat, that's who you need to ask.

The person/company you need to sue is whoever contracted Shoal. You will need to find that out too, although its generally the same people who you pay any annual service fees to.

Ok, I think the landlord pays the service fees, I know the company which contracted them.

I can only contact the landlord through the agency I let the property through, they will only forward my message to him.

Should it be ok to disclose that information to them before they forward it to the landlord ?

I was thinking, should I not first of all send a complaint letter to the letting agency and demand the money from them ? because

They did not inform me of the parking situation before signing and giving me the keys,

Theres nothing in the rental agreement that even mentions the parking.

Therefore I assumed I was allowed to park there, and that I had a grace period to apply for a permit and show proof of my rental agreement and my right to that space(I do wonder though, as there is nothing in the agreement about my "right" to the space). -

This is based on my judgement after seeing I have to apply for a permit. - Therefore I parked there to start moving in, where else was I supposed to park in the time before I was sent a permit?

You could try but I doubt they'd refund on that basis (even though I agree you are right and they are wrong).

If you can get confirmation that the space belongs to your landlord and he has exclusive rights to it (which would then be conferred onto you as the occupier), and that no permit is required as a condition of the lease, then you have them bang to rights.

At that point you would issue a Notice Before Action to both parties, and if no refund is received then you issue a claim and sue them both (Shoal will ignore you, but the Management Co. will find this more tricky to ignore).

Writing a complaint letter is a complete waste of tuner. They will just bin it.

You need to grab the bull by the horns and not !!!!! foot all around being nice.

Get your lease -> NBA -> sue.

Nothing else to do apart from above, otherwise its not going to achieve anything

Today went into a private car park, gentleman stopped me on his way out the car park and gave me his ticket which still had 45 minutes on it plus the £2 in store refund voucher he chose not to claim back. I returned to my car before the time had elapsed and I was given a ticket. The store manager said it was not their car park so they had no comment on it. I did ask the car park attendant why he gave me a ticket when I had ample time. He said he saw me enter the car park and saw that I was given the ticket so because I did not pay for it, the one I had was invalid. It was a ticket whereby you did not need show your registration number on, so I assumed that it was a ticket that still had time to use. He said I was on CCTV as having taken the ticket from another customer and not from the machine. I have the ticket showing adequate time and a store receipt to show I had shopped in the store and a time. Where do I stand, should I take the gamble in sending the ticket?.. I saw no notice to say that you cannot accept others customers tickets. Thanks for any advice you may have.

Firstly you should really start a new thread otherwise it could get confusing.

Secondly, you need to give us names - it sounds like a private parking "ticket" but without knowing the shop or parking company name it's difficult to comment.

Blog the only advice people will have is START YOU OWN THREAD.

DONT HIJACK AND CONFUSE PEOPLE

Ignore it if it is indeed from a private company in a private car park ..they will send you threatening letters ..but it's all bluff.
IGNORE and get on with your life ..which company issued by the way ?

This thread is not the place to post, it's about an old clamping where the person needs to sue the managing agent!

Please start a new thread on the forum if you don't see the answer to your question in the thousands of threads about private parking tickets:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=163

New thread is the Blue Button top left of the index of threads...but please read some other threads first! If this was a private parking company then clearly the answer is to ignore the rubbish fake PCN and play snap with the letters that might follow if they have DVLA access. Don't give them your details by appealing.

Read some threads (not the top seven sticky ones) on that link...please...you'll be amazed.
