    well done :j

    now

    time to do your bit

    this is a copy of a post by Bargepole ....

    "Some action at last:

    http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2017-19/parkingcodeofpractice.html

    This Private Member's Bill has Government and cross-party support, and stands a good chance of making it into statute.

    The full text of the clauses will be published nearer the date of the second reading, but my sources tell me it's something we should support.

    Now would be a good time to write to your MP urging them to support it."

    let here know that there have been many complaints about this car park scam

    he/ she may well help intervene

    good luck

    I am rather thankful for them closing it if I'll be honest
    Tell me you're taking the p|ss. Thankful to a PPC who, without our help, would have likely taken you to the cleaners?
    I wonder if this has anything to do with Steve Clark from the BPA
    It is without doubt the fact that Steve Clarke, who's always been a decent employee of the BPA (he'd be a real bonus to an employer offering a real job!), has been sniffing around.
    Your penalty charge has been waived as a gesture of goodwill".
    Not a 'penalty' charge and certainly not any 'gesture of goodwill', more often than not a gesture of frustration that they've been caught out!
    but... either way, it's not closed. Not closed at all. Whilst the ticket is cancelled, they have done a great job at annoying me, threatening me, and I will not give in in my pursuit of their destruction. They will pay me compensation for this, and I will fight during my spare time to have them shut down as a company.
    Money where your mouth is time. We'll put the effort in if you will, but there have been so many keyboard warriors promising hellfire and damnation to the PPC network, you will forgive me if I'm being rather sceptical.

    Prove me wrong! :)
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    CountryKerry

    I congratulate you on your attack against these Scammers

    I doubt Steve Clark has much to do with this, the BPA take
    subs from scammers and so supports them, much like
    the IPC / Gladstones utter rubbish.

    Mind you as Clark knows about coupon-mad, he must read this
    forum so now has an opportunity to tell us how amazing
    he is ......

    "no comment says Clark" ??
    The BPA is the biggest load of junk since they invented the square wheel ?

    No doubt the landowner has given P4 a warning

    The best way you can attack these scammers is help
    on this forum,
  • I will not give in in my pursuit of their destruction.
    ”and we will help..... Well done!
    CountryKerry - your best chance of achieving this is to stay on this forum and use this thread to let us know what you are doing so we can continue to help and advise. There are others out there like you who are trying to resolve Residential Parking problems such as yours and how the PPCs behave in these situations.

    If you are going to take action, you must do it in the correct way or you will come unstuck (just as the PPCs do) and your action will fail ... people here can take what you want to do and help you shape and execute it in the right way - calmly, correctly and clinically. You have at your disposal an enormous free resource - I advise you to avail of it and take it's council to achieve the outcomes you want.
  • So a slightly worrying update to the issue.

    For those out of the loop - P4 Parking cancelled the ticket on 21/09/17. Received an email letter from them confirming my ticket was cancelled on this date. I also received an email from the land owner saying the ticket was cancelled - beneath it was communication with P4Parking and it is because they did not allow any grace period!

    Anyhow. Just got back from a weekend away and have a letter dated 28/09/17 from TNC debt services saying I owe them £100.00! I believe I now have a case for harassment.

    This is all very interesting because I moved into my new new address on 21/09/17. I sent the V5 to the DVLA on the 20th via. First class so they must have requested my information after the ticket was cancelled. Not giving up on this!

    report them to the BPA by email and attach copies of the cancellations plus a copy of this latest sc@mmers letter too

    plus contact the DVLA and ask when your details were accessed , and by whom

    Indeed it seems you do, and against P4Parking for sharing your data and misusing it! :D:D

    I agree, you have a case to cause them some problems at least. As I said before now is the time to be clinical, do not give your hand away, gather all the relevant information and then make your complaints.

    Follow the advice above:
    1) Find out from the DVLA when your data was accessed
    2) Draft a complaint email to the BPA (you can post it here for review if you like)
    3) Build the timeline based on the evidence gathered into essentially a proof that the DPA was breached here and then you can construct your LBC (if that's the way you want to go).
