List of the scammers

in Parking tickets, fines & parking
I've had another look through the stickies etc but couldn't find a list of scammers. What would be useful is a list of those companies who will sue you, alongside those who won't - broadly speaking; a list of suers and sewers if you like.

    Currently, those companies likely to issue court claims for parking charges are:

    ParkingEye
    Civil Enforcement Ltd
    UKCPS (not to be confused with UKPC, who don't)
    Excel / VCS
    District Enforcement
    De Vere
    PCM (UK)
    Combined Parking Solutions
    Proserve / Ransomes

    ... the rest of the BPA AOS member list don't currently sue, but they have up to 6 years from date of event to do so.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    I would suggest the word scammers may see the thread quickly deleted...

    What other word describes someone that demands money they aren't entitled to?

    I don't see any moral difference between them and the Nigerian 419 email merchants.

    Such a list may help consumers decide which business are better to spend your money with if you own a car, it should include Known double dippers and those most likely to issue vexatious unlawful claims that you have to waste time defending, so consumers can decide if it is worth the risk even visiting such stores.
    Be happy...;)

    I think you would have to say may or may not rather then will or wont!

    Because they haven't doesn't mean they wont!
