dear all

i today received a penalty charge notice for £85 from VCS PARKING CONTROL for parking on private land where parking restrictions apply

i was not driving the car on the day in question... in fact i dont even have a license...

in the letter they say ''you are legally responsible for responding to this notice.Do not pass it to the driver or ignore it''

and ''Liability for this notice lies with you,the registered keeper or hirer .''

is this true?? i have no idea who these people are and why i am legally accountable... tho the car is registered in my name..

they are threatening to issue a county court order and send bailiffs...

thank you

pure bow locks from VCS.
They don't have a snowballs chance . rest easy

Do NOT pay them
Do NOT contact them - thats exactly what they want you to do.
Do NOT worry.
Get on with your life

All you have is an unenforceable invoice. read the PPC FAQ
forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?autocom=ibwiki&cmd=article&id=56
and some of the many threads here about PPCs.

It is a Con. the PPCs know how their Con works and they know how it
fails
. So do we smile.gif

There is NO need to worry at all.
Just read the threads here and try and find a case where it is has ended
badly for one of our advised 'PPC victim' posters..
When you get fed up looking for one the reality of the situation and the
strength of your position will sink in.

Once you have your head around it tell ALL your friends about this Con and
how to handle it.


You will very likely get a series of letters full of misleading bluff and bow
locks. just keep them in the drawer. They are all just landfiill, let the PPC
waste its money sending them.

To make it go away do nothing and they will move onto other fish.
Contact them and you get on the hooked fish list and they will pester you.

If you want to do something about it (and this IS a fight back forum)
then send a photocopy of each and every piece of paper you get from them to
local Trading Standards along with a stiff letter of complaint.

If you want to do more wait for the first bow locks letter you get (you laready have this !) - they
will have spent 2.50 at the DVLA to get the Registered Keeper's details (smile.gif)
write to the DVLA and ask for a copy of the request made by the PPC and the
backup evidence of contract with the landowner (see forms V888/2 and v888/3
on the DVLA website http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Ownin...icle/DG_4022067
).
Then write to the landowner complaining about their
part in this pursuit of unenforceable scam 'debts'. And complain to the ICO.

How far you fight back is up to you but the more that do it the better IMV.
