It’s a perfectly legitimate charge PROVIDING, the contract and NTK is worded correctly; the MOJ have confirmed as such.

NO … the FAKE CHARGE is just an invention from the BPA and OSNER

Do point us to where the MoJ said it is legitimate, most judges do not agree

I have the video of a webinar where the DCLG confirmed it, the guys name was Liam.

Then there is POFA, which details that the max that may be recovered is the amount detailed on the NTK. If the £70 charge is quoted on the NTK and sign; the judge MUST award it (they can’t overrule POFA even if they want to).

How do you explain the fact that the government said the true levels of debt collection was approx £9 per case not per letter ?

This is probably because they use debt collection companies to recover debt for them .

This is also evident in other financial sectors where it is approx £20 added to the debt by debt collectors .

Are you saying that it’s legitimate to charge £70 where parking companies themselves can’t be bothered to do the administrative work and farm it out . The administrative work was already built in £100 charge itself - as Beavis already said .

The High Court in PE v Somerfield stores deemed the £37 charge to be an unrecoverable penalty .

“The MoJ” confirmed … show us the evidence otherwise it never happened and the £70 charge was plucked out of thin air …….

The ‘Cost’ of recovery is largely irrelevant; however, the figure quoted is false and this misinformation that was published in the consultation COULD cost the Gov dearly.

I can’t be bothered to sort a link to the footage, I have nothing to prove; anyone who attended the Webinar and paid attention knows I’m correct.

then it never happened.

The “ MoJ source” probably came from your echo chambers .

As I previously mentioned - can you explain why your industry has never appealed their way to the SC in order to settle the issue regarding the.fake add on and whether it is recoverable under PoFA 2012 ?

You had your chance in the Semark Appeal but dropped Mr Crosby from the joint appeal ….. the industry wanted to preserve the scam for as long as possible.

You have got to admit Hansard was right?

IMO the CMA should fully investigate the whole of th privatee parking industry including the 2 ATA's and the IAS and POPLA

PLUS … the debt collectors and legals who try to extort money with FAKES

GOOD NEWS.…update for those drivers ripped off by Croydon Council

https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/38607365/drivers-refunded-high-court-cash-grab-traffic-scheme/

Croydon’s Conservative mayor, Jason Perry, said the council would not appeal the judgment and that the schemes had been scrapped with immediate effect.

He said the priority now is to make it easy for those affected to get their money back, either by being contacted directly or by applying through an online form.
