    What I am saying is they claim they have a contract with the landowner, the landowner claims they do not hold the land and you have evidence to this statement.
    When you file your defence, (if they really are that daft) you file a request for both parties to attend court for questioning by counter claiming costs .
    Think it's a N9 form , but stand corrected, this means if they decide to proceed, both have to make the trip to explain to the judge, who is lying, who is speaking the truth or why if they are both speaking the truth one decided to mislead you.
    They have to attend in person.

    If they do not want to do this, they can always drop the case and offer to pay your costs.

    This lot are running the show and it has to stop, if everyone counter claims and requests signatories to attend, then they are going to have to be in a lot of places at once up and down the country.

    The model they are using is based on providing one agency solicitor on a fixed fee, why not instead make it a bit more interesting for them and start having every signatory dragged to the corners of the country.
    In the case of a supermarket chain, they will soon get sick of this carry on, when the expenses they can claim, if they win are minimal.

    Play smart, play hard, beat them at their own game by making them turn up and play it.
    Be happy...;)

    So...I sent my CM based POPLA code request/Practice Direction non-compliance letter on the 9th.

    PE decided to actually reply to my original LBCCC reply on the 9th also(Sent on the 18th December). I used Daisys simple template regarding following the Practice Direction-They replied "This is in line with the Practice Direction" and asked me to provide evidence that their signage isn't sufficient.

    The AOS have closed my complaint after investigation, no slap on the wrist for PE for not considering my appeal or replying to my LBCCC reply(For nearly a month). At least it's another logged complaint.

    Will need to complain to the SRA regarding the template reply they sent me. Very naughty.

    In the meantime, I will await their reply to my latest letter.

    Shona's linkedin page seems to have disappeared. No doubt this is because information on ParkingEye's corporate structure, of its business and job titles and roles of its employees are clearly confidential. It is information which ParkingEye has kept inaccessible and out of the public domain. The precise structure of ParkingEye's company is only known to those who are part of the corporate entity and anyone with a linkedin account.

    I just checked and her profile is still up on LinkedIn. It also comes up with the following:-

    Christopher Lee, civil engineering manager

    Bryan Malcolm, sales manager

    James Diss, UK commercial manager

    Dominic Dawson, research and development specialist

    Zoe Staziker, account manager

    Wesley Button, sales manager

    Rachel L, head of legal services (interesting that she lists her employer as "a car park operator")
    "You should know not to believe everything in media & polls by now !"

    Still waiting, they've wasted 7 days.

    I wonder, if Shona did knowingly falsify the planning permission to my local council, which I fund, and I was to rely on this evidence in CC. Is there further grounds for a counter-claim, should it go that far and should I lose.

    Food for thought, ramblings of a mad man.
  • I should make a complaint with the info available to the planning department and trading standards - wait and see then.

    Shona put her name as applicant (without completing company name) and then ticked a box stating she was landowner, further confusing the form by naming Easi rent as landowner .... Oh dearie me what a mistake to make.

    Preston City Council advised 10 working days for a response. Expected this Tuesday.

    Will make a complaint to trading standards this weekend.

    Hardly a surprise as they are a bunch of blood sucking vampires.

    Quite honestly, I think that they would be mad to take this to court, they have failed on so many levels.

    Make sure that you get your retaliation in quickly, before they bail out. You deserve full recompense/compensation for the trouble they have caused you.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    No response from the council. Very frustrating and not sure the next step in the process...Spacey, I've seen you sending complaint in regards to something similar. Are you able to advise the next step?

    Tomorrow is day 14 for PE to reply to my LBCCC in depth reply/CM 'It's not too late to get a POPLA code' type appeal...Should start drafting my SRA complaint really. Mis-quoting court case wins(We have NEVER lost in court-dated 18th December, WAIT?! Didn't they lose on the 13th?!) Replying to my request NOT to provide a template letter with a template letter AND replying to my request for a PD compliant letter with "We believe it is compliant" Template. *wags finger* Tut Tut.
  • Lazos - give it a few more days re your council complaints - before chasing it up again - it is always worth when writing a complaint to put in a time scale for a response. Councils can be a little slow in responding - tbh if you get a reply within 10 days you're lucky.

    Remind both departments say at end of next week - requesting an urgent response etc due to your circumstances.

    The next stage for dealing with council departments would be to invoke their formal complaints procedure - you would need to write it clearly marked "Letter of complaint". When the internal processes are complete a complaint to the Local Government Obudsman may look at it


    With regards to the letter to Parking Eye - I am assuming that you did give 14 days response time? Again I would give a day or so leaway before making another formal complaint - to Parking Eye -

    stating:

    I know give you formal notice that a clear response is required within 7 days of this letter as my earlier letter of xxxxxxx has been ignored. In view of new information that has come to light regarding this case, may I suggest that you cancel this parking charge to mitigate any losses you incur and to save any further embarassment in this matter.

    Please note that should you continue to pursue me in this matter then any claim will be rigourously defended and I may consider raising a counterclaim against you.

    I look forward to receiving your written confirmation that there is no outstanding charge to be paid by .........., failing which I will have no alternative but to also made a formal complaint to the Solicitors Regulation Authority regarding the conduct of your legal department.
