What?

A spokesperson for Armtrac Security Services said: "Upon further investigation regarding this matter, the incorrect payment instructions were left on the machine when it was installed recently at Mayon Green for which we can only apologise.

"The machines don’t belong to Armtrac Security and after a conversation with the landowner, the details have now been removed from the machine. They also send their apologies.

"This was an honest mistake made by the landowner and wasn’t intentional. All the other signage at the site has been updated to reflect the change and states that the full and correct vehicle registration number needs to be entered when making payment."

Surely that won't fix the problem, they need to change the signs - or change the actual machine.

I wonder who empties the machines at night and failed to notice the wording on them, every night! 

Blinded by the amount of money it will generate lol

Surely it's probably got to be worth getting in touch with a Data Breach Law specialist as all that Data was obtained, shared and handled incorrectly and very questionably.  Who knows how many people were charged, pursued and harassed by multiple parties on the grounds of breaking a contract that couldn't technically or legally be formed or exist due to the unfair/ impossible terms! 🤔 

I'm not sure if Keller Postman would take it on as they are going after the DVLA, but I'm sure plenty of smaller firms would take it.

If you've already signed up with KP for the DVLA group action this will supply extra useful evidence of the DVLA's ineptitude.

Apparently they have (are in the process of) changing to that new name. Perhaps have employed a postman to deal with the deluge of cases! 😃

They're going after the DVLA, not individual parking firms. The big fish at the top of the food chain.

Sadly that is the registered office address,

a post box, not the physical trading address. Where is the computer?

No idea how up to date that information is though.


Or perhaps it's here...

Now stopped searching - too many addresses helps no-one.
