OPS refusing payment plan

Tat sign containns far too much small print imo to be a fair.   term in a consumer contract.  One is parking one's car not buying a house.

I always wondered why they have an IPC logo on their signs when they are not members of it and belong to the other ATA of the Cartel!?!?  I've not seen this other parking companies signs. I have my suspicions...

Maybe they think when they are kicked out the BPA they can pick up with the IPC ?  DREAM ON

The brains of Worzel Gummidge

I assume that when the new code of practice starts, the BPA will have a PLAN B to save their own necks ?

I was wondering if one of their other companies such as Ethical Parking or Capital 2 Coast were IPC members and they could renew their subscriptions and move all the OPS claims over if they were suspended DVLA access by BPA?!?

If they did that, it would be fraud.  Something the DVLA should be advised of

As expected, OPS are arguing that the grace period is less than 15 minutes (despite having this in writing from the actual Landowner) and also suggesting that my overstay was longer than 15 minutes 🙄

I have also informed Victoria that a rejected appeal to POPLA does not make the notice enforceable nor does it have to be paid.

Only a judge can say whether it should be paid or not.

You are right that a rejected POPLA isn't binding!  The parking charge does NOT have to be paid - it is merely a disputed invoice and can be challenged.  If they can't accept that then they need to put it in front of a Legally Qualified Judge.  THIS is the ONLY person who may decided if has to be paid- not an Administrator at Parking Company!  The fact that they are saying it "HAS" to be paid is not on.  

Also there is NO MENTION of this 10 minute Grace Period she mentions on their signs or anywhere in their smelly dump of a parking lot!  Why is she adamant that this unwritten hidden enforced grace period is 10 mins when her employers agreed 15 minutes with the Landowner which is backed up by signed paperwork? I'd put this to Victoria- asking her which is the truth and what is a mistake/ lie?!?  Is the Landowner and OPS' director (who agreed on 15 mins) lying? Is the nonexistent sign wrong? It doesn't hurt to ask for clarity!  If it ever does go to court these communications are ALL evidence. Especially when this employee puts their name to a witness statement(with Landowner contract enclosed) contradicting near everything they've told you in their previous communications - which needs to be made known to the court!

How do they know the "16.05" was not in fact 15 minutes- are the ANPRs synced? What is their policy in regards to reasonable adjustments under the 11 year old Equality Act!? Do they have special legal authority anf permitted powers that means their insatiable appetite for Parking Charges trump this legislation?!?  

I'd also complain to the ICO about the DVLA releasing the details of a vulnerable adult to these persistent companies who are threatening you with legal action whilst trying to pull the wool over your eyes with PROVEN nontruths!!!

What "reasonable" safeguarding steps do the DVLA take to ensure that this information - if concerns a vulnerable adult will be used proportionately, ethically by thr persons requesting it or the unregulated 3rd parties they intend to share it with!?!

I have received yet another update from the administrator. 

I wonder if she realises her emails completely contradict their own on site parking signs?! 

Anyhow, I’ll be sending them
my last email & wait to see they decide to take me to court.

I am of the opinion that, if they take you to court over a four minute overstay, they are very likely to get a kicking from the judge.

This jobs worth admin bod must find it Embarrassing to keep begging for £100 for a mere 4 mins overstay, that's if it's true.

The CEO of the BPA clearly stated that ANPR was not 100% reliable ..... we know that, government knows that and councils cannot use the system because it's not 100%

OPS need to prove their system actually works correctly which I suspect they cannot so it raises doubt.

The jobs worth does not understand logic and the final answer will be a judge spanking OPS AND HOPEFULLY award your costs
