TNC/T and S Parking Services

Emilys_mum

Hello everyone, and apologies for what could be a repetitive post. I have spent the last couple of hours scouring this forum and others for details on the two companies listed in the title - T&S parking services ltd, and TNC. I struggled to find anything on these guys imparticular.

Whilst I have taken on board the countless amounts of advice to ignore the PCN, I just wondered if there were anyone out there who had successfully ignored these companies. The most recent letter (and the third I have received so far) has a TNC logo at the top of the page, and further down the page it says: "Our Client: T & S Parking Services Ltd". The ticket was issued in September for parking in a residential car park without a permit.

I have seen a couple of threads which show letters for each individual PPC, and either I am blind or looking in the wrong place, as I could not find any letters for either of the companies listed on my letter.

Any help would be appreciated, although I understand you are all probably sick to death of replying to first posters such as myself!

Thank you.

They are no different to any other private parking company. Just keep ignoring.

Thank you. I thought as much from what I had already read, but panicked a little when I couldn't find them on any other post.

If you Google T&S Parking Services you will find threads about them on PePiPoo and Piston Head's forums.

I saw the PePiPoo ones, but they seemed mostly to be about towed cars. Thank you again for your quick reply!

Most threads would be about clamping and towing - because this lot are notorious ex clampers. Clamping was only banned a few weeks ago so they are new to rogue fake ticketing.

Look at how 'proffesional' their website is!!

There's more online about TNC debt collector letters, here's a few MSE-specific results (wait for this search to load itself automatically):

Just ignore them as you would ANY private parking ticket issued for ANY reason.

I received a phone call today from TNC, in which they asked me to confirm my address and then told me of the outstanding balance. I told them I hadn't received any letters, and they said they would post another, but I had to ring them back by Thursday 10th. I have no intention of calling them back, but wondered how many phone calls I should expect, and what the right protocol is for dealing with these guys on the phone?

If it were me I would tell them to Foxtrot Oscar but if you want to be more polite then tell they you deny any debt and if they think differently they should take you to court. Also tell them that you consider any further communication from them ( other than valid court papers ) as harassment.

Thank you! I don't think I handled my first call very well, I panicked and couldn't remember anything I had read online about what I should say. But am I right in thinking that they cannot record a phone call without telling you it's being recorded? I can't help being polite, perhaps I need to step up my rudeness a little and stop being typically British!

If they call again say "Hang on I'll go and get her", then leave the phone and go and do something useful for half an hour. If you have some really annoying music for them to listen to while they wait, even better.

Or you could just tell them to F off.

Haha! I may dig out some annoying music and leave it next to the phone ready for the next phone call (presuming there will be more!)
