Private Parking Nazi's...
Discussion
I know they are toothless monsters, but what worries me is the fact that these goons seemingly have open access to registered keepers home address'.
Now, I've had contact with some of these f
ksticks in bomber jackets, and I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw 'em.
If they have access to all this info, what's to stop them cruising round the long term car park at Heathrow and then looking up the address of the poor bugger sunning himself in Barbados?
It pisses me off that a private company has open access to my name and address via the DVLA. It stinks

It is bloody irritating. As much as I loathe getting nabbed - I actually don't mind the council wardens actually doing their job.
It's these private aholes that firstly expect you to pay a ton for going to the gym and daring to be over an hour 
and then have access to whatever info they want to issue their official looking bits of bog roll.

Ooh! Just you wait - this is PH and shortly somebody will be along to tell you to suck it up - you knew the risks etc etc so pay up holes that firstly expect you to pay a ton for going to the gym and daring to be over an hour and then have access to whatever info they want to issue their official looking bits of bog roll.(I'm with you btw - I just ignore the "threatening" letters
and they eventually go away - although there's one I've got at the moment where I actually had the required parking pass in my window and still got a ticket - I soooo want it to go to court).julian64 said:
Unfortunately there are always two sides to a story. I actually pay a company to do this for a car park I own.
Nobody likes employing these people but unfortunately I have little choice considering the liberties Joe public takes with parking there.
This is fair enough, however my reg is supposed to be listed as a members car. I have approx 20 registrations in their database because I never know which one i'll take on a given day.Nobody likes employing these people but unfortunately I have little choice considering the liberties Joe public takes with parking there.
So they bung a ticket on regardless. Cretins. Absolute cretins.
It's also a main car park for: Marks & Spencer, KFC, Halfords and Maplin, so quite a high volume of visitors to those stores, and not near any stations or anything, and there doesn't appear to be any commuters taking the piss parking there all day, so I wonder what the motivation is for doling the tickets?
The 'offence' I committed was being parked there for over an hour (two odd) and despite being registered as entitled to park there as long as I want, got issued with a £100 ticket.
The main thing that gets my goat is this ability to send a letter straight to your home address. That is fundamentally wrong IMO.

I hope you havnt replied to their "fine"?The 'offence' I committed was being parked there for over an hour (two odd) and despite being registered as entitled to park there as long as I want, got issued with a £100 ticket.
There's plenty of threads in ph and other forums about these tickets. Basically just ignore all letters.
Having had three separate tickets over an 18month period and ignoring all their eight letters (for each ticket) I can testify it's all s
t and they will eventually chase easier targets. If you have replied there is still hope.

I'm with you here - I don't deliberately ever try to piss them off and not pay for the parking etc - it's a service and as such I have no problem paying for it.Nobody likes employing these people but unfortunately I have little choice considering the liberties Joe public takes with parking there.
I do resent getting trumped up demands for several hundred quid though.
Instead of going through all this nonsense with pay and display why not simply employ the same bloke on a pay on entry basis? This would work outside where I work - the bloke is there all day. People not paying then becomes a non-issue.
My car park is private but open to the road/highway. It has spaces for about twenty cars. On any given day three quarters will be taken up with people unconnected to my business or using it for shopping etc. We used to have barriers but they were regularly vandalised.
One chap left a car there perminantly for over a month. Without the DVLA we had no way of knowing who owned the car, and because of the way it was parked we couldn't get anything in to move it. Police not interested as private ground.
When we got the details for the DVLA it turned out to be a chap who lived about two roads away and didn't have any off street parking for his car.
When we phoned him he was more annoyed that we'd managed to get his details and gonna report us for this and that, Breaching his 'uman rights etc.
He threatened to brick every car in our car park, and window in our building if we touched his car.
Thats the sort of mentality that requires private parking enforcement.
So while I have some sympathy with people who meet a parking Nazi. I have to tell you I don't have that much. Probably have to act like Nazi's to get the message through to some people.

We left him alone, as we had far more to lose than him.
