Double recovery is where a further amount is added to the so called debt. The Supreme Court made it very clear …. the parking charge is set to operate the scheme.
We all know that OSNER of ZZPS invented the fake add-on to which the incompetent BPA decided to add this in their cloud dreaming CoP …. followed the IPC
GUESS WHAT . IT'S NOT A LAW, IT IS A FAKE ADD-ON SCAM
The debt collectors work on a no win no fee AND as most courts will not allow fakes which is a feeble attempt of DOUBLE RECOVERY
If you owed money to a bank, the debt collector will chase you for the money owed and the bank will pay them for their services if they suceed.
In the parking industry, it is jusr a extortion charge that presumes the public are fools
Regarding the consultation, of course they asked the question about the fake add-ons
As far as a loss on a £100 extortion charge …… give us a break ?
Read the Supreme Court ruling, you might understand

"If the above was not supported by law, it wouldn’t have been listed as an option in the consultation."
Oh yes it would, in 2025!
But they are learning…
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

In the context of Parking Charges, not many operators will be looking to recovery any loss; hence why I have previously stated that the financial arrangement between DR companies and operators is irrelevant i.e if the contract is worded correctly, the operator is owed £170 NOT £100 plus whatever the cost of debt recovery is (be it in-house or via a 3rd party).
But the maximum sum is the maximum sum. £100.
The contract applies £70 AFTER the NtK, so is nullified.The only other sums recoverable are a remedy ie. genuine loss incurred, solicitors fees and court fees.

Not if your contract and NTK is worded correctly. We will never agree, so little point musing further; time will tell what will be implemented.

Pity Kaizen2024 isn't learning.

YES but nobody should forget that the FAKE £70 was introduced by OSNER AND THE BPA and is EXTORTION

Once again we see a pcn appeal declined by the industry's appeal services get cancelled when the media contacts the parking company
Nexus claim "We are committed to balancing fair enforcement with compassion." Think they omitted to say BUT ONLY WHEN THE MEDIA GET INVOLVED AND PLAN TO PUBLISH A DAMNING STORY.
And shame on the Royal Derby Hospital for not seeing that and ignoring the fact that despite the driver's numerous appeals, Group Nexus insisted he pay the fine, ultimately increasing the charge to £150 by involving a debt agency.
The man who had visited his ill father in the RD Hospital every day for a month before he passed away said "I felt as if I am only talking to an automated system which keeps throwing out my appeals with absolutely no compassion."
"This is very distressing to deal with whilst grieving my father and having to organise funerals and sorting through his belongings."

I believe Nexus infact the entire parking industry including Kaizen2024 know about the Supreme Court ruling, the Osner "invented £70 debt fees to make money" and the "no win no fee" offered by the Debt Collector Agencies. Though i don't think we'll ever hear any of them admit they know.

The woman suffers multiple sclerosis says she moves "faster than a speeding tortoise" left the car park as was unable to pay in cash.
The incident relates to a visit to Havens Bank Retail Park in Exeter on 13 Sept 2023. Attempts to resolve the issue with Smart Parking were unsuccessful. The case remains ongoing, with Joan stating she will continue to challenge the charge.
