UKPC's Office

This from Parking Prankster's latest blog:-

http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/

A determined motorist managed to track down the actual office of UKPC which is :-

3 Gregories Court
Gregories Road
Beaconsfield
Buckinghamshire
HP9 1HQ

Yet another PPC that tries to hide behind a PO Box,
What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    For someone trying so hard to stay out of public gaze, it was rather stupid of the owner of UKPC, as referred to by Pranky, to register one of his former companies (the ironically-named Smoke Screen Systems Ltd.) at his home address:

    http://companycheck.co.uk/company/04997769

    Some planning applications submitted to South Bucks Council confirm that this address is indeed his residence.

    A quick reminder of what someone posted on Tracy Kiss' wonderful blog last year:

    The MD of UKPC, Mr ******* **********, is an odious little cretin who happens to live 3 doors away from me here in Beaconsfield. He is a horrible little man, who has made millions over the years by frightening and hounding unsuspecting motorists who are unaware of the law, and bullying them into paying charges that he has no legal right to levy in the first place.

    There is no way a debt can be recovered by a debt collector, even if there was a debt in the first place, without a Court Order. He will never take you to court, as it would cost him and his company too much in the first place.

    Wherever I see *******’s little signs as I travel the country, I always deliberately incur a ticket, then take personal pleasure in hand delivering it back through his private letterbox, warning him that if I receive any further unsolicited communication from either him or his company again, I will consider it harassment and report him to Thames Valley Police, who take a robust approach to this.

    Strangely enough, I never do hear anything from him or his company on every occasion that I have done this. His plastic wife, ********, however scowls at me every time she sees me when she drives past my house in her (leased) Range Rover Sport…I just smile and wave…smile and wave….

    Bottom line is, ignore it, or if you feel compelled to reply, use my approach. Works wonders!!

    Maybe we should be providing people with the full postal address for the above person if the name+address above is correct

    MSE is very touchy about publishing people's names/addresses, even when they're already in the public domain, which is why I only provided a link to it and blanked the names.

    If you want to confirm who lives at the address search for it in planning applications on South Bucks Council's website. You will find it is indeed Mr. UKPC.

    It is a rather satisfying thought that this lowlife likes to threaten his victims on signs stating that your details will be obtained from the DVLA, and here we see the tables turned!:rotfl:

    As far as I know there is not one car park in his home town patrolled by this knuckle dragger's henchmen, either the local businesses won't go along with his scams, or he is scared of the repercussions!
