Apologies But Need Advice RE DRP & Local Parking Security Ltd

13

Comments

  • Local Parking Security Ltd


    Another parking company going round the bend

    The so called debt is with them.   NOT DRP

    DRP are just the circus clowns who waste their money sending out sewer junk

    It is the sole responsibily of Local Parking Security to comply with your request and duly advise DRP

    And then you can ignore DRP   , because they are powerless

    This is just another BPA member who don't have a clue how to behave themselves
    SHAME ON THE BPA

    I look forward to your response. If I do not receive a response in 7 days with confirmation that the Data Rectification Notice has not been carried out inline with my original email then I will contact the Information Commissioners Office. 

    Regards,   
    Why are you offering 'regards' to bottom-feeder pond life trying to harass and intimidate you into handing your hard-earned money over to them?  I truly despair at times. 

    Keep it absolutely formal. 'Dear Sirs/Yours faithfully'!  Nothing else.

  • Thanks for all the responses guys. Do you think I should just contact the information commissioner straight away or email them first and wait? I have a copy of there privacy document saved on my computer which clearly states that the email address I used was the one to contact in regard to this matter. I could pass that to the commissioner also?

    Regards is not a formal sign off.  It's what people have fallen into using in recent years but Umkomaas is right.

    Save the ICO complaint until you have exhausted the matter with the PPC first.  The ICO will want to see that you complained.

    'Regards' suggests warmth and respect.  I rest my case!

    There is loads of guidance about signing off letters on google. Why not go there?

  • Hello all,

    Update for you: They replied to my original email (eventually but within the timeframe I gave them) stating they had updated there records accordingly.

    Then I got this in the post, lol! It's address to my new address and wasn't a redirect. What should my next move be? Appeal the parking charge on the basis the parking machine only accepted coins with no alternative and, due to us just coming out of lockdown and being told to use contactless everywhere, that coins where unavailable. Or handle it in a different manner? 

    I'm concerned because I had to contact them with a Data Rectification notice that it may change my options.

  • Because I reside in Scotland, even though the offence was in Wales, and they have no evidence of who the driver was, should I just reply to them on those grounds stating I will not provide that information?

    They state that you have been named as the driver, is that correct?  . If not you should put them right

    If they increase the charge to £175 they are likely to shoot themselves in the foot, read this and complain to your MP. 

    At the Bradford County Court, District Judge Claire Jackson (now HHJ Jackson, a Specialist Civil Circuit Judge) decided to hear a 'test case' a few months ago, where £60 had been added to a parking charge despite Judges up and down the country repeatedly disallowing that sum and warning parking firms not to waste court time with such spurious claims.   That case was Excel v Wilkinson: G4QZ465V, heard in July 2020 and leave to appeal was refused and that route was not pursued.  The Judge concluded that such claims are proceedings with 'an improper collateral purpose'.   This Judge - and others who have since copied her words and struck dozens of cases out in late 2020 and into 2021 - went into significant detail and concluded that parking operators (such as this Claimant) are seeking to circumvent CPR 27.14 as well as breaching the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   DJ Hickinbottom has recently struck more cases out in that court area, stating: ''I find that striking out this claim is the only appropriate manner in which the disapproval of the court can be shown''.
