bank park management parking charge

sai1601

Hi I have been issued with a parking charge from bank park management for failure to pay for parking in west bromwich, at the farley centre. I was not the driver when this failure occurred, but am the registered keeper of the vehicle. I have read the newbies thread and many other posts, following which I will be emailing the below to the company as an appeal. I just wanted to know if it was sufficient, or if i needed to add anything re inadequate signage? As i was told by the driver he failed to see signage re parking fees (parked at 10.15pm),.If you could give me your thoughts I would appreciate it. Many thanks


Re PCN number: XXXXX

I dispute your 'parking charge', as the keeper of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a formal complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner and to my MP.

There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. Since your PCN is a vague template, I require ALL photos taken and an explanation of the allegation and your evidence. (They have sent images of my vehicle and REG on the NTK - So should i omit the requirement of photos?)

Formal note:
Should you later pursue this charge by way of litigation, note that service of any legal documents by email is expressly disallowed and you are not entitled to assume that the data in this dispute/appeal remains the current address for service in the future.

Yours faithfully,

XXXXXX > I will enter my full name and current add, as they have been sending notices to my old add (I failed to update dvla!)...

Thanks guys!

do not change anything at all, stick to the tried and tested advice

save any arguments for popla , if they offer popla


you want ALL photos, notice the word ALL, not just what they issued with the pcn


that appeal is carefully crafted, which is why the word ALL is used

Hi guys just and update and a little advice needed. I sent an email to bank park on the 17th July and received no acknowledgement of the appeal email. Today I have found a debt collectors notice that was dated 22nd July, stating if the matter has not been addressed within 14 days the case will be reviewed for legal recovery. Do i contact them, or resend the appeal email?

Redx

chances are the 1st appeal was too late due to the address error

DO NOT CONTACT the debt collectors

read post #4 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread about ignoring debt collectors, who are powerless

sai1601

thank you for your prompt reply. i can't seem to find the post, are you able to link it here by any chance?

Redx

top of this forum, third thread down , scroll down to post #4 (its number 4 of 5 posts that everyone should read) - so its a sticky thread above this thread of yours

sai1601

got it ...

sai1601

ok so i've read it, i will ignore the letters but what do i do in the meantime? wait to see if they take the matter further?...

aslo i'm aware that in the thread it said debt collectors are not the same as bailiffs, but this particular letter was from DCBL (debt collection bailiffs limited), it states they are certified bailiffs. is this a scare tactic and should i take same advice and ignore?

Redx

a letter before claim and then court claim MAY be the next steps within 6 years

DCBL are both debt collectors and bailiffs , 2 different sections

as debt collectors they are powerless , this is the section you are at right now

if BANK obtained a court order (CCJ) , they could then employ DCBL as bailiffs , which is a different matter entirely

until a judge has made a decision, there is nothing either side can do but send letters

after 6 years it times out , so even if your V5C had been up to date and you appealed earlier, you would still be at this same point of IGNORE as the appeal would have been rejected


welcome to limbo land , stuck between a rock and a hard place

You dont do anything in the meantime , why would you?
