You may remember that myself and another member had 'Parking charges' from the imfomous company G24 Ltd.

Well guess what I've had through the post...

Parking charge 2 (wrong name)002 no name.JPG

Another one. But this time its not as clear cut and we're going to cause them hell:devil:

The V5 for my Panda says that since the 10th March this year the car is now mine. When the last ticket came through it was in dad's name.

This new 'charge' has come through and should have been in my name, but you've guessed it, its come in dad's name even though he hasn't technically owned it for almost 2 months!

So the cheeting gits have recognised the number plate, and instead of paying another £2.50 to the DVLA to find out who the car is registered to have assumed its the same owner and issued another charge.

So there are several choices we should make.

A) Ignore everything until one (if at all) comes in my name.
B) Dad tell them when the final reminder comes through that the car has been sold (basically its registered to another person).
C) Threaten legal action at unsolicoted mail in dads name (stress etc)
D) Threaten legal action at the fact they have contraviened the Data Protection Act by keeping my fathers details without his permission after the origion Parking Charge from several months ago was squashed.

All I say is that this could be fun!

Another thing, could it be a mistake on the DVLA's behalf, or not?

Yourselves have not given myself what can legally be defined as a: PCN, you have provided myself an invoice for an alleged breach of contract, Any further attempts to inform myself you have issued me with a PCN will result in myself reporting it to trading standards.

I have not signed, verbally agreed too any contract to neither yourselves, nor have I legally and enforcedly entered into any contract by my action of parking in the sites car park, as such there is no breach of contract by legal fact we have no contract, and I am not party to any contract by definition of myself possibly not being the operator of this vehicle on this day.

Any contact I may receive from a Debt collection agency I will inform them "the matter is in dispute" and refer them back to you. This again is my legal right and as such they can progress no further.
Please note: The OFT declare that such resort by a company to a debt collector will have no basis in law unless the other party has a contract which specifically stipulates that the company may resort to such, again we have no contract.

May I also add should you threaten myself with a CCJ or bailiffs, or provide me advice relating to how failure to pay may result in me having adverse credit may I highlight the following to you:

Failure to pay now cannot of itself result in anything being registered against me as a debt in the County Court

2. In order for me to get a CCJ (County Court Judgement) registered against me all of the following have to take place
(a) the company concerned have to issue a claim against me.
(b) Which I either do not enter a defence or the Judge finds the claim in your favour. Which again will not happen as your debt is non enforceable, and we have no legally binding contract,

May I also add the latest ruling by the Office of Fair Trading states penalty charges must be a reflection of the actual costs incurred. I therefore request how you feel and a detailed breakdown of how a £70 penalty charge can reflect the costs incurred by my actions of parking in a space available for my use in a free, non display car park for 15 minutes.

As such judgement will not be made and you cannot request a default judgement.

If and only if I did not pay a Judgement which can only be done in the county court by the residing county court judge and the dept was not paid within 28 days of the judgement being entered against me

A Bailiffs warrant would only be issued if I lost AND didn't pay the judgement debt as instructed by a judge.

My credit rating would only be affected if I had a CCJ which I did not pay, again this would have to go through the county court process 1st.


Let me also now add that any further contact from you or any agency on behalf of yourselves, or any agency to which you may pass you alleged debt too will result in me charging you an administration fee of £25, for each contact. This will cover my time, research costs, and stationary costs, together with postage charges.

I will accept two free letters but any third letter received; would trigger the acceptance of the fact that they would have to pay me an admin fee of £50 per letter, but the third letter would also be a free letter unless I received a fourth letter related to this matter. In which case I would have to charge for ALL four letters. I would invoice them and request payment within 7 days otherwise court action would follow on the 8th day. The terms are fair under the Unfair terms Act 1999 as this is for my time and expenses. Any fifth letter would trigger a harassment action under the 1997 Protection from Harassment Act, which I would be entitled to claim £5,000 in damages for mental anguish

By making further contact in the above mentioned forms you shall be entering into a contract with myself and agreeing to the above terms and I shall consider this an end to the matter.

Any further threats of litigation shall be regarded as harassment and be met with a response from my legal department.



Many thanks for your contact and confirming in writing the mistakes you have done in relation to the allegations and your methods of working.


Oh and by the way the car was sold on the (date) and I am no longer the registered owner /keeper of the above vehicle so GO SWIVLE! -{

I bloody love it:D

Good one(y)
 
Right, so previously you got caught overstaying the free limit in a time constrained car park and had a load of hassle with the car park enforcement company. Then some time later you go and do the same thing again in the same car park? :confused:

Shouldn't you have learnt to be more careful after the first time seeing as avoiding trouble is always the best course of action?
 
from a previous post he has a permit to park beyond the normal time

G24 are the biggest bunch of w@nk3rs I've had to deal with. Just had to get my second ticket from then squashed when I was incorrectly issued at the swimming center I use.

I even filled out the form they have there if your a patron using the facalities and go over in time.

I even sent off the appeals letter and got a final reminder still, and had to send it again. They're the biggest bunch of puphets about.

I dont know if i'm mising something here.

But from reading, if you have a permit of some kind can't you just ring them up and send them a copy. As it'd have your registration number on it.

Or get the leisure centre to ring them up for you....

If you dont have a permit, then you got caugh fair and square really....parking over then intended limit.

Good luck with the case

No mention of this permit in post #1 of this current thread? :confused:

Plus if that were the case then surely it is clear cut and there would be no need to mess around with these "A, B, C or D" options"?

Because this thread is more about how they've not sent the 'charge' to the registered owner.

Seems simple enough, but the leisure centre are as helpful as a blown light bulb. You would have thought that giving them a copy of the charge would sort it, but no, you still need to write an appeal to G24 Ltd.

Also the reason for the issue of my last 'charge' was some tit at the leisure center misreading my number plate on the form, and it's probably the same again.
 
An update:D

Dad ignored all their letters and then one came from a debit collection agency threatening a CCJ:p.

So dad email them, telling them to get G24 to check things before they also legally become involved:p.

Then got a letter from G24 saying our appeal was sucessful:confused:

But we hadn't contacted G24:p

Dad has now emailed G24 asking what the letter was about when he hasn't appealed, what details about him they hold, and why the charge was issued to him in the first place.

We now wait a reply:yum:
 
If it was me I'd go after them. I think they've done something they shouldn't and are now trying to extracate themselves from a hole they're in. Show no mercy, take no prisoners, show them what it feels like to be on the other side.
