Tnc / autosec pcn

Options
Hello, advice please.
I have just received 5 x outstanding Parking Charge Notices'. Totalling £ 895
The dates the PCNs were issued were Aug & Sept 2013.... Yes 2013!!!!
Brief back ground, I rented a flat, which came with 1 parking space in the car park, there where no permits, you simply let the letting agent know your vehicle reg. They then passed it on to another company, who passed it on to Autosec.
I had a new vehicle at this time, and so might not of been down as that address etc.
I have spoke to my letting agent at the time, they advised me to speak to the next company, which I did, they then advised to me to call Auto sec.


Any advice about where to go or what to do next?

    best bet is read the other half a dozen or so similar threads on here over the last 3 weeks and follow the same advice given to them

    use the forum search box and suitable search words (like AUTOSEC) to find them

    they have 6 years to try a court case so 4 years is nothing in the greater scheme of things

    Interesting....so are you in the Hull area?

    If so this is the Autosec ran by a total scumbag and ex clamper.

    I'm sure others will give you some good advice....have you only just found out about these PCNS? Or did you ignore at the time?

    I have an outstanding pcn from autosec and I am waiting for my day in court, and this ticket/incident ended up on the front page of the HDM.

    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
  • Utigers - Yes in East Yorkshire, as stated earlier, I was living in a property with private parking, I had a parking space with the property, vehicle registrations where passed to letting agents who passed on and passed on to autosec. I received the PCNs whilst still in the property but ignored them as I had a valid reason for parking there.


    I haven't received any other paper work or notices since the PCNS until just before Christmas. When the letters from TCN arrived. Then 2 weeks later a second round of letters. Then a phone call to the company who own the vehicle yesterday. The company advised TCN they didn't know who was in vehicle as it was so long ago.


    After reading the other threads I think I shall sit this out and see where it ends up. Thanks for everyones help
  • if you follow the other thread , you will see its TNC who have illigally obtained your details

    parking Cos can only access for 6 mths , TNC is a BPA member but have used the debt collection V888 to illigally get details FOR A PARKING EVENT more than 6 mths after the event .

    if you ask the DVLA , they will back this up
  • Was following another thread, the poster had written to the DVLA, who had written back stating that TNC are a debt collection agency and so can ask for details for up to 6 Years since.
  • correct , but as debt collectors , not acting (issuing NTK) , as a parking Co

    only Autosec or thier agents (AOS members) can apply for PARKING offences , and within a max of SIX MONTH

    a debt collector can ask for upto 6 yrs

    TNC have claimed this is debt collection , its upto the PPC to get info and pass that on to TNC

    TNC are BPA and Debt collectors , BUT as they are a member of the BPA they MUST use the correct form , no ifs and buts

    PARKING COs = v888/3 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/v8883-request-for-information-for-those-who-issue-a-parking-charge-notice

    debt collectors v888/2 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/v8882-request-by-a-company-for-information-about-a-vehicle

    TNC ARE a member of the BPA Aos , ALL AOS members must use v888/3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Thanks, tnc have called the company today, 2 days running now. Should I speak to them or not. They don't know it was me driving, just the company name. If the company claim to not have records about who was driving can they do anything?
  • why not contact the DVLA , and have them shut down , BANNED , much nicer that speaking to the scum

    The company should send a letter to TNC and the parking firm requiring them to stop contacting the company by phone or the company will sue and from now on, will be charging £15 administration charge for every unwarranted letter and telephone call/text.

    They should continue by saying the matter is not the company's liability, the driver was not on company business and will not be named. And in any case it is believed that:

    - Autosec do not follow the POFA so they are unable to invoke 'keeper liability'

    - The car was parked in a residential car park where the occupants have primacy of contract.

    If TNC do not cease and desist they will be reported to the DVLA, BPA and CSA:

    In addition, should a claim arise, the company will counter-claim for damages for wasted staff hours in dealing with a matter for which the company is not liable. Head the letter 'Cease and Desist and first warning of counter-claim'.

    HTH
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
