The biter bit

SAR and letter to manager sent, draft complaint to MP attached.

Firstly, I should like to thank you for your assistance in my recent complaint against District Judge King at Reading Crown Court. I have received very generous compensation

I regret that I have to trouble you again but I wish to obtain your help in seeking the cancellation of a Parking Charge Notice, aka as an invoice, issued by Parking Eye at ASDA, Tilehurst, on 2nd April 2019.

You are no doubt familiar with The Parking (Code of Practice ) Bill which received Royal Assent on 15th March this year. The bill was enacted to regulate the excesses of Private Parking companies.

I have received an invoice as registered keeper, (I was not the driver), for the alleged damage the driver caused Parking Eye by staying for 20 minutes over the arbitrary time allowed by the alleged contract they claim the driver had agreed to.

I attach a copy of that sign which they allege forms the contract. For your information, the driver was shopping for the entire period, and purchased 26 items.

IMO, the sign is not fit for purpose. It is at least six feet above the ground, and the terms and conditions, which are in the smallest print, comprise over 300 words. This, one is supposed to read and digest before parking one's car.

I should be grateful if you would take whatever action you consider appropriate.

Asda will cancel this easily for you

I wish to obtain your help in seeking the cancellation of a Parking Charge Notice, aka as an invoice,

I’d reorder the sentence with ‘..... cancellation of an invoice, masquerading as a Parking Charge Notice’.

Did you know that on 18th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these private parking companies. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, and persistent offenders denied access. Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers.

Until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

I am puzzled. I went on line yesterday to appeal and found that it had been cancelled.

Although I complained to the store manager, the CEO of Asda, and my MP, none have yet got back to me. I wonder if PE read the thread and decided to cut their losses.

Don't understand why you have been complaining to all and sundry over the OP's issue???


(Presumably the OP has achieved a cancellation via Asda himself)

The OP has an alter ego. I know knot why but he oft posts under one then the other, and in this case both on the same thread.

Although I believe him to be a good egg, I do wonder if perhaps he has a slit personality disorder that causes the different voices in his head to post under different usernames.

No hidden voices, just a temporary glitch with a forgotten login/password.
