"Not done the time, not done the crime"

 

Soon to be seen on a daytime TV advert for lawyers making claims against UKPC.

BPA and trading standards?

 

I'd be onto the police about them committing offences under the Theft and Fraud acts! With any luck they may actually do something if enough people complain.

For those that say "if you've done the crime you must be prepared to do the time":suspect:

 

Its not a crime though

Could have fooled me. I thought fraud was a crime.

[Gamston 10]

The wardens have comitted a crime surely (perverting the course of justice)

[melthebell 862]

If the wardens have been altering the times then the drivers clearly haven't "done the crime"

 

Its not a crime though

can some people read?

I have just received a letter from a debt agency telling me about illegal parking

at Berkley precinct off Ecclesall road. They are asking me to pay £160.00 within 2 weeks for an offence I committed back in mid July.

Although I do park in this parking area from time to time , they do state that

a sticker was placed on my windscreen and the parking company has been trying

to contact me in the intervening months.

I did not have a sticker on my windscreen, although I suppose it could have blown off (unlikely). I have had no other correspondence since the supposed offence. I am not denying that I may have parked longer than the 2 hours allowed. I consider the action they are taking is completely out of order .

 

Has anyone had a similar problem like this and should I pay up?

[geared 303]

It a private parking charge, there's lots of information online about how to properly deal with them.

10 minutes on Google should get you the information you need.

 

Don't ignore it though, they can take you to court.

Basically the sign above the machine says no parking restrictions on Sunday. However, if you read the machine it says you have to pay ( see link ). What's your thoughts would the parking ticket be valid? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz17/pennangton/Mobile%20Uploads/20151025_133343_zpshiorvdh1.jpg http://rs809.pbsrc.com/albums/zz17/pennangton/Mobile%20Uploads/20151025_133343_zpshiorvdh1.jpg?w=480&h=480&fit=clip
