Parking lie clearly don't try hard enough, paragons of virtue that they are in their business methods.

    Another part of Crapita's empire is under investigation. This time regarding the TV licence fee branch:-

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39100048

    The BBC has ordered an investigation into reports TV licence fee collectors targeted vulnerable people, spurred on by an aggressive incentive scheme.

    and

    (The Daily Mail) sent a reporter to interview for a job at Capita, and allegedly found staff being pushed to gather evidence to take as many people to court as possible.
    One interviewer was recorded saying: "We will drive you as hard as we can to get as much as we can out of you because we're greedy."

    Sound familiar ala Parking Eye?

    Several of my tenants were being harassed by TVL. I sent them a very robust letter denying them access to all my properties. That was four years ago, not a peep since.
