Eckolad Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 To be honest, I am really astonished at what I read on this thread, and on this forum in general. Half the time you cant have a reasoned discussion because a few people start saying utter guff like 'which laws do you choose to obey' etc etc It really is a strange strange forum Dont use it then if you find it strange.... However.... ppc invoices are just that and are only subject to the law of contract...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penistone999 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Also , the lady who started the thread ,did so thinking there was a "Fine" to pay to the PPC , but she is now fully aware she has NOTHING to pay ,and has thanked people on here for making her aware she dosnt have to pay. So , thats another unsuspecting motorist who will now keep their money in their pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Is there really many people out there who still don't know you don't have to pay PPC invoices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yes plenty , which is a shame Lots just wont be educated I got ticketed on the city college grounds a few months ago. Something like £80, which increased to £120 unless paid immediately. I actually remember saying to my friend that if they'd requested a reasonable amount I probably would have coughed it up, after all I did park illegally. It's just the extortionate amount which gives me the urge to use the PCN as toilet paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosey Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 i agree If they charged £20/30 for example more people would prehaps just pay (i am not changing my stance on PPC invoices) but for this kind of figure it wouldnt be so much of a concern for people It's what makes the PPC a poor business model. Charge £15 (equivalent of a day's parking roughly) and people would grumble, but more would pay it. It's the same as bank charges for failed direct debits. A tenner - fair enough, as our money is our own responsibility. £40 a time - ridiculous, leading to the billions the banks paid out in claims. I think most wouldn't be too upset if this whole are was legislated - sensible charges, by non-cowboy companies, without the ridiculous threats of bailiffs etc. Done properly, I think few would complain too much.
