Hi all,
Apologies in advance - I'm new here and I know there are countless topics regarding these issues but I'm not sure what to do next. In November 2015 I parked in the Abbey Walk car park in Selby (the Sainsburys one, in case anyone knows it). It was always free to park and is close to the town centre, as I was meeting a couple of friends for some food there. I arrived at around 7pm ish and left around 10.30. I didn't think anything of it, so imagine my surprise when I received a letter from ZZPS dated 19th February 2016 saying I had an unpaid parking fine from the above. Turns out this car park is now managed by Vehicle Control Services on an ANPR sheme, which is not exactly well publicised (and by that I mean I couldnt see any signs up in the car park regarding said parking restrictions). I had never received any prior correspondence from VCS to advise that I had a parking fine or anything like that. I wrote to both ZZPS and VCS, on the same day, disputing the charge as I had never received any prior notification and therefore could not appeal within the initial given period. I did originally research on here and a couple of other websites to help me gain some content for said letters, so said that I would not pay ZZPS as it's all speculative invoices, is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss, and there is significant lack of signage in the car park to show the parking restrictions. I got the usual templated b*llocks letter back, refusing to answer any of my points that I raised, so I wrote to them again to deny the debt to ZZPS and refuse to deal with ZZPS, and demanded they respond fully to the issues and points that I raised in my initial letter, saying that if I didnt hear from them within 14 days then I'd consider the matter closed. So, yesterday, I receive a letter in the post from Wright Hassall, dated 29th March (but only arrived yesterday - convenient?) - which I have scanned and attached. This looks different to the usual WH templated letters that I have seen people posting about on here and elsewhere - so I am completely unsure how to respond. Obviously I want to completely stand my ground and have no intention of paying this - I'm just worried about it getting to the CCJ stage. Is there anyone who could please provide me with some help on how to respond to this WH letter? I'm a bit of a newbie with these kinds of things so anything in laymans terms would be much appreciated. Thank you! This post has been edited by alexsyl: Mon, 18 Apr 2016 - 11:12 |

The use of the word "grateful" grates a little with parking companies.
I would therefore |

Dear Bilal
Ref **** I have received your letter dated **** requesting a telephone call That will not happen Your client's actions regarding this matter are already the subject of an investigation by the Information Commissioners Office I strongly suggest that you seek its instructions before you contact me again For the avoidance of doubt, I deny any debt to Vehicle Control Services and regard these continuing demands as harassment I will not reply to any further correspondence Any telephone calls will be immediately disconnected and reported as malicious communications In the meanwhile, I will pass a copy of your letter to the ICO as evidence of your client's continued misbehaviour Yours Sincerely |

Yes, that is correct - anything that is ACTUALLY legally privileged is just that, private and exempt.

Ah ok. I had assumed that if I asked for it they would have still been obliged to provide it - especially if it was something like the original PCN for example.
Do I therefore ignore this letter and just respond with Redivi's letter above saying I wont entertain a phone call, and assume that further correspondence will be back with VCS? |

the original PCN cannot possibly be legally privilieged, by definition
Only communications between the PPC and their sols would be. Send exactly the letter Redivi penned. No need to comment on the SAR letter. |
