Other interesting facts are that there's no Devon Parking Agency Ltd listed at Companies House and they don't appear to be registered with the ICO either.


The website address was only registered on 27th September 2015!

I think the statement they've made makes it quite clear this is a 'speculative invoice'

'The Client(s) agree that any payment to Devon Parking Agency is classed as a donation to the company instead of a legal required payment.'

i.e. don't want to make a donation to them? Don't pay it. simple as.
It's about as legally enforceable as a seagull sending you a bill for !!!!!!!! on your car.

however , are they allowed to impersonate counsil employees ? , uniform , vans PDA,s etc etc and on a public road ?


I would go in as "Mr gullable" to your counsil and ask to pay it

As if there aren't enough problems with "legitimate" scammers in the parking industry without more shysters crawling out from under stones that people have to go into bat against :wall:

are the terms and conditions ie: "'The Client(s) agree that any payment to Devon Parking Agency is classed as a donation to the company instead of a legal required payment.' clearly shown on the ticket? , if not this is getting close to obtaining money by fraudulent means

No, it doesn't say that on the ticket, only on the T&C's on the website. On the ticket it says:

Failure to pay the full amount within 28 days from the date of issue may result in your vehicle licensing details being requested from the DVLA and debt recovery action may be pursued at which time additional charges will be applied. In addition, court action may be taken against you. Court costs and bailiff costs may also be added. In the final stages the court may instruct a bailiff to remove and sell your goods in satisfaction of the sum owed.
