Waldo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Is there any scope for legal action against G24 (the PPC which operates in the Meadowhall Retail Park), on the grounds of intimidation and bullying letters etc. Or is it quite legal for private companies to send out intimidating letters?

Flowersfade Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Is it a parking fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 It's not a 'fine' ... it's an invoice. Which after some research, looks like the general consensus is to ignore these, and after 5 or 6 letters, they go away. Fully intending to ignore it.

Waldo Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hmm, signal-to-noise ratio around this place, isn't what it used to be! Hoping to get a little more 'signal'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowersfade Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Just ignore them. They are unenforcible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 An invoice for what? Look at Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking [1971] 1 All ER 686 and decide whether Lord Dennng's ruling is applicable to your case. You might also want to consider Denning's ruling in Saunders v Anglia Building Society [1970] UKHL 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I wonder what would happen if everyone that received one sent it to the retailer they were spending their hard-earned with at the time, with a note telling them they won't be able to afford to shop in their store anymore?

HeadingNorth Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I wonder what would happen if everyone that received one sent it to the retailer they were spending their hard-earned with at the time, with a note telling them they won't be able to afford to shop in their store anymore? They'd probably get a letter back saying they should park within the rules in future and not have to deal with the invoices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the letter makes clear- 1. the fact that you know your rights, know the invoice is unenforcable and so will not be paying a penny to the parking company and 2. that you will boycott the store in the future, for as long as they allow/invite the parking company to patrol the car park then I think it could be quite effective in getting the store to reconsider it's position, especially if it receives many such letters from different customers.
