Contractual Parking Charge Notice

Janie468

Hi I am looking for some advice please & sorry I know there is many threads but I just need some direct help as I'm unsure what to do.

I have received a Contractual Parking Charge Notice from G24 for parking over 17mins of the allowed 2hrs in a toys r us car park. I purchased some goods from toys r us so have evidence in the form of a bank statement.

Do I ignore the letter or approach the store?

Thanks for any advice given ☺

You get the receipt and all the goods and tell the manager you need a refund to pay the parking scammers.

First, you go to Toys'R'Us, and in full view of as many customers as you can, you speak to THE STORE MANAGER (not one of his/her flunkies) and demand they intervene and cancel the charge. When they prevaricate, you make a minor fuss in front of people, then walk away and write to their CEO / Head Office directly and insist they get involved and cancel it.

Then you go on Facebook / Twitter / Social Media / whatever else and kick up a stink about the state of parking at this venue, and how it's disgusting etc. etc. Then you write to your MP and the PM about it, actually on paper, not by email, using the template letter here:

Within the 28-day appeal period, you also appeal to G24 using the IPC template in the **NEWBIES** sticky thread which is one of the first three listed at the top of page 1. You read the entirety of the **NEWBIES** thread, paying attention to the bits that refer to IPC members, and ignoring the bits that apply to BPA members. You very slightly modify the template letter to point out that at 17 mins. "overstay", you are well within the 2x 10 min grace periods which need to be allowed by reference to the IPC Code of Practice (one on entry to find a space, park, find the T&Cs signs, read them, digest them and accept them), and another at the end for leaving the car park.

You do this in the full and complete knowledge that G24 are - like most PPCs generally and IPC members in particular - an absolute bunch of scumbags who aren't interested in anything but parting you from your cash, and will therefore reject your wholly reasonable appeal without even considering it.

They will then throw a whole load of reminders, final reminders and generally threatening letters at you, quoting things like the Supreme Court case of Beavis vs. ParkingEye, Elliott vs. Loake etc. to scare you into paying up on threat of CCJs.

You will ignore all these letters because you read the **NEWBIES** thread and know them all to be lies.

You'll then start getting debt collector letters. On receipt of the first one, you write back to them, tell them the debt is disputed and should be referred back to their client, and that further contact in any form will be deemed harassment.

You then *TOTALLY IGNORE* any and all correspondence to do with this issue for 6 years - **UNLESS** (and it's a big unless!) you get a LBCCC from Northampton Court Business Centre MCOL, when you come back here and get the help you need. This will almost certainly NOT HAPPEN as G24 are cowards who don't want their business model anywhere near court for fear of getting slapped down.

You must notify G24 if you plan to move house any time in those 6 years, otherwise you don't give them a second thought, and carry on living your life as if these money-grabbing parasites didn't exist.

Coupon-mad

G24 never sue anyone but yep, complain to ToysRUs and get it cancelled.

Trashy piece of rubbish. NO-ONE HERE PAYS G24.
