When a motorist is contesting a parking charge, they are within their rights to require a debt collecting company to go through an agent and not contact them directly. In this particular case, the motorist did use an agent, Appeal My Ticket, and the agent informed DR+ that if they contacted the client directly they would be liable to £200 plus costs.
DR+ did contact the client directly, so Appeal My Ticket filed a county court claim for £200. DR+ failed to contest the claim, so a default judgment was obtained against them. Presumably they are so used to sending out their own fake threats of court action that they did not realise this was a real claim.
DR+ then failed to pay, which means they now have a CCJ entered against them, which can be enforced.
Any takers?
MIL Collections perhaps?

ReplyDeleteThat'll be YouTube gold right there.
DeleteHaving been in an office when (real) court bailiffs arrived to seize goods, I can assure you that these chaps don't mess around.

ReplyDeleteMessers Gladstones provide a debt recovery service and they're upfront and honest about whether you would benefit from their help, or so I've heard.
ReplyDeleteParking Eye have had many CCJs against them, and some are still unpaid, how can they get away with that?
ReplyDeleteI presume you have evidence of this. Surely there must be some legal remedy if they don't pay their CCJs.
Deletecredit check Parking Eye and you will see they have multiple CCJs listed.
Deletebecause they pay the BPA more themselves than all the other members (what left) do together , that's why they get away with it
DeleteTo paraphrase Rand, the question is not who will let them get away with it, it is who will stop them.

ReplyDeleteAs much as I dislike the parking companies, this is clearly not going to end well for Appeal My Ticket.
ReplyDeleteWhat will happen is they will apply to set the judgement aside, the whole thing will then go to a hearing where the whole thing will be thrown out sadly.
AMT will then end up getting stuck on for costs.
I don`t think so
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth would it be thrown out?
