PPC "Losses"

sploits

Thanks to everyone for your valuable input.

I am in the process of writing back the following:

Hi Louise,

Again you seem to fail to understand the whole point of my emails.

How can you try to claim things in your breakdown of costs when it is all part of your normal business running costs?
Also the BPA fee, is that relating to POPLA? The figure looks an awful lot like the amount POPLA charge a PPC (and that cost is not to be passed on to the motorist).

Have you actually read the HMRC vs VCS case?

I really suggest you do and then have a rethink about how you are going to reply.

You say are going to reclaim all (speculative) costs due. I'm still unaware how you are going to do this when I wont be giving you the name of the driver. Its pre-October and I have the necessary backup to prove I was elsewhere at the time your nice warden placed your invoice on my car. Again I don't have to tell you who was driving and a judge would agree with me on that.

Soooooo, are you still planning on trying to recover costs from somebody who you will never find out about or are you (like me) going to put this to bed as you have no proof of anything and enjoy your Saturday (its actually sunny up here for once so im heading out with my dog) or do you still wish to try and claim an unlawful amount?

I know people ( including myself ) say ignore but I do love a good PPC baiting session :T:T:T:T

I have groups on Facebook about PPC's in my local town and I tell everyone to ignore but when these clowns starting quoting things that were not relevant for the time the invoice was placed on m car then I just knew I had to have a bit of fun. I will admit though, CAG and MSE forum members have put in some brilliant posts which I have fed into some of the email ping pong with Secure Car Parks Limited. :-)

Yes it can be jolly good fun

hoohoo

The good news is that this means that Secure Car Parks Ltd will never be able to do court now, not just against sploits, but anyone, since there is now documented evidence how their charge is made up. Their case will fall apart as soon as it is pointed out that they are not allowed to charge for running the business, and their breakdown confirms that their invoice is pretty much all running costs.

Hi all, just a couple quick questions. Why do they pay BPA £32? for each non payment. Do they have to pay that every time as when i ignored one recently i havent appealed etc so not gone down the popla route therefore they would have to pay the popla fee. With the other ticket from tps i have appealed.
I also can not get my head around the loss for signs! some of the signs at one of our retail parks have by all accounts never been maintained. I am just wondering if say there is a carpark with 100 spaces would that be 100 times 6.64 = £664 a day to maintain and £242360!! a year. sorry if i not getting the breakdown of the fee`s

I expect they will be maintained soon when they have to remove the sign with clamping etc.

They are ahead of themselves that would be if an appeal went to POPLA, but what it really means is even if we could make a claim, we cant justify the amount so we will throw it in the mix!

It can't go to POPlA anyway, because the ticket was issued before October 1st. (6th August 2012).

Indeed but the poor girl was struggling to get it too £60!;)

On that subject, I wonder who this poor girl is? Is she some office junior tasked with sending out these silly emails without knowing the full facts about private parking tickets, or somebody further up the management chain who should know better?
