With the first in , last out , scam that seems to be going on with some PPC , I have thought of a way to have some fun with this one.
Parking Eye have infested my town with this system.
I thought it would be a good idea to drive into car park A, Free for 2 hours, use the facilities for say 20 mins then drive out. Drive in to car park B , use the facilities , then repeat this some time later. See if they try the first in ,last out on both car parks. Would make for an interesting appeal!;)

An appeal will cost them money.
I can also complain to the BPA, and DVLA about this sharp practice.0 -
Ensure you buy something at each car park as a till slip could prove you were there and not at the other park.. Make sure(for this test) that you adhere to any "not return for" policy as it could give them a let out.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Oh no time and effort as i use the "facilities " in the course of my day.:)Portly_Pig wrote: »It will also cost you time and effort. It has already cost them money to obtain your details. Personally I get more satisfaction throwing their letters in the bin.0 -
A better idea would be to cover up the number plate on leaving and uncover before entering the next ..... and the next ..... and the next only visiting each car park once. They could then prove that you were in several places at the same time.

Perhaps you can merge the one that is already here with this one ?When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

Maybe at a later date but for now surely its best to see if they fall for it in just the way a victim would be caught.A better idea would be to cover up the number plate on leaving and uncover before entering the next ..... and the next ..... and the next only visiting each car park once.

Don't confuse the Windows 95 computers which are somehow running Windows ME, they might crash 0
