Excel PCN - reassurance/clarification needed

MrNotty

Atilla - happy to go digging but being a newbie in all of this - what am I looking for that will be helpful?

A lot of sites/stores have parking included in the planning approval. For example, 3 hour with allowance for any user to wander off site and must be free.
The scammers often overlook this important detail and impose their own draconian rules.
Excel tried this in Bradford and got stuffed then kicked out.

Thank you everyone. I am sure it will come to nothing.

It will indeed come to nothing. But what about sending a pm to Martin Cutts who uses the same username (with gap between the words) when he posts here occasionally?

Martin campaigns for plainer language on signs etc., and his was the infamous case from Watchdog where that Horsey toff Simon Renshaw-Smith* of Excel actually tried a rare Small Claim (it wouldn't/couldn't have been Magistates Court as it's not a criminal offence, it's a firm alleging some money is owed!).

Here's what happened:

Here's Martin's very readable: 'Phoney fines and dodgy signs take drivers for a ride':

Martin is seen as something of an expert from the consumer's side of 'private parking' and dodgy signs/ticket wording, and he now takes part with the DVLA as part of a forum about private parking:

And here's what happened when 'Parking Review' magazine hilariously, Martin was actually INVITED to give a speech at a Parking Industry 'jolly' recently. VERY FUNNY!!

And here's a brief note of when Martin seized the chance to tell lawyers about this whole scam:

And guess where he was parked when he got his fake PCN? At the Peel Centre. :rotfl:

And then there was the infamous 'toothbrush' Ibbotson Small Claim which Renshaw-Smith (as VCS this time) also lost in 2012. FUNNY AGAIN!

* P.S. Apparently, last year Excel paid Renshaw-Smith an extraordinary £766,353 salary (Mail on Sunday, 27 May 2012) – £100,000 more than the governor of the Bank of England. And yet POOR/VULNERABLE, hardworking people continue to line this horsey toff's pockets day after day because they know no different.

What's this to do with Excel?
