Camera Mis-read of car reg

fisherjim

Dear G24

I have previously told you that I do not own this car, that your amateurish excuse for an anpr system is at fault, and my own car has never been anywhere near this car park.

This is my final communication with you on this matter, or any silly debt collectors you may pass this ridiculous scam case on to.

I am not wasting any more time with your arrogant, moneymaking scam games, and will only supply a photo of my car to a judge, where I will expose your game for what it is!

Presumably G24 sent the wrong number to DVLA to identify keeper.
ie the misread one. DVLA would not be providing make or colour of car.

Well if that's the case the PPC's running ANPR cameras must be a dab hand at identifying the make, model, colour and even engine size from the photos they take.

Plenty of other places you can type in the number and get back that basic info.

Send them something like this :

Parking Charge xxxxxxx
You have been informed that the ANPR system in operation is either faulty or the member of staff interpretation the data is incompetent.
The make, model and colour of car are incorrect on the images with a different registration .

The reason for this the car I am registered keeper of never entered your car park.
The car on your images is not the car I am registered keeper of.
This means we do not have a "contract" for parking.

You refusal to accept these facts is now causing me unnecessary work.
Any other letters and threats you send to me when we clearly do not have a contract for parking from either yourselves or your agents will now incur a charge of £18 per hour plus stationary to reply.

This is in line with county court rates for litigant in person expenses.
You are placed on warning that to mitigate any losses caused by your companies incompetence you should correct this incompetence and cease from contacting me again.

Failure to pay any litigant in person charges will result in county court action against your company.

This is your warning to act and mitigate your losses.
I estimate that it takes two hours to formulate a reply of my time each time I have to reply or rebuff your threats.
Any claim for harassment and distress caused by your incompetence shall also be a basis for a legal claim.
You are therefore warned under the protection from harassment act 1997 to cease making threats by either post or telephone.

We have no contract, your own evidence proves this.
This is your last warning before incurring charges for litigant in person fees.
Any future correspondence will be replied to and charged for at a pre estimated rate of loss £38.
2 x £18 per hours litigant in person rate
£2 Stationary charge

This letter has been sent by Certified postage postage.

You may well want to chuck in a claim for damages under section 13 of the 1998 Data Protection Act for the obtaining and processing of your personal data without "reasonable cause".

Or you could be a little mischievous, and tell them that, as your car has never been there, you suspect that the plate has been cloned. If they do not confirm that it is, after all, a misread, then you will be reporting the clone to the police, and expect them to retain all evidence and cooperate with the police in their investigation.

That might make them check again a bit more carefully.

Why is everyone validating these idiots existence by suggesting that the OP contacts them? The OP has already told them the facts, all he needs to do is wait for court papers and file a defence 'My car was not there'. Then wait for G24 to prove it was, which they obviously can't. Then claim for his time wasted.

That's fine as long as the OP is OK with receiving hysterical and hollow threats from left, right and centre for the foreseeable future, and knows that they can all be safely filed and ignored. G24 are not known to do court anyway, though never say never.

I agree with Mr Donkey, just think of every letter, threat, etc., as another nail in their coffin should they take you to court. There is so much reciprocal grief that the OP can deliver to the PPC, why not have some fun at their expense.

Dear G24,

Your equipment has misread my number plate. The photos show a registration of xxx xxxx whereas you will see that you have referred to my registration yyy yyyy in your communications with me and the DVLA.

I will appeal to the IAS on this basis and, should it be necessary, use this defence in court. I will, of course, send evidence to the IPC and the DVLA.

In the meantime, however, I will avail myself on all Parking forums to provide evidence to any forum member that your equipment is faulty and can not be relied upon.

Hopefully this will have a negative result on your business.,
