WeX Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Help please!! I have received 2 phone calls from a so called solicitor regarding an excel parking ticket I have never had. They claim to have written to me but iv received nothing. They said they r starting court proceedings against me but will not produce any evidence that I was 1. Parked without a permit (which I never have) 2. They issued a ticket And 3 that they have sent letters regarding all this (btw none of the solicitorsnletters have been sent registered post apparently) What do I do now??? Thanks dont worry there is nothing they can do. i have been through similar and lived to tell the tale. remember one thing, these companies rely on fear and pressure to extort money from you. do not let them get to you, they are liers and will sail very close to what is legal. if they have no proof you parked where you did and no proof you received their invoices, then they can do nothing and their insistence in contacting you is considered harassment in uk law.

Tomataheeed Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 It's sort of tempting to organise some civil disobedience and park "illegally" in excel car parks to flood their "legal" department with loads of "work" .......and waste no end of their time......

UNOITALIANO Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Received a parking ticket from the Staples/Mothercare car park nr St Marys Bramall Lane. Long story but I had got back to my car in time be for the ticket expired my son needed a wee which I allowed him to do behind the car, but when he decided he also needed a poo we had to run back into Mothercare. Needeless to say we were late back and got a ticket. I appealed and got turned down got to pay £60. A colleague told me that you are not obliged to pay private parking fines like Excel but you do have to pay Sheffield City Council parking ticket? Is there any truth in it?

HeadingNorth Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Legally, if you ignore the tickets and letters altogether, you almost certainly won't end up having to pay anything. Morally, since you used their car park, what makes you think you should not have to abide by their terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 God, there's always one. Is there really only one person who thinks that the people who own the land should be allowed to decide who can use it and how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Don't ignore it. It will get worse. My mate mick works for excel and he says PAY.. if your mate works for them im sure he would say to pay i recieved a similar ticket and as stated there already is a thread regarding this if you look on there there is info on the legality i replied pointing out al the details in law and what they were entitled to claim etc i received a letter back stating they were not pursuing the ticket IT IS NOT A LEGALLY BINDING TICKET AS SUCH AS IT IS COVERED BY CIVIL LAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNOITALIANO Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 based on what legal terms would I not be obliged to pay? Oops will check out that thread. thanks for advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
