G24 Contractual Parking Charge Notice....
Discussion
HI all,
As above my girlfriend has recieved one of these parking charge notice from the company G24. She had parked for too long at a retail village called Freeport near Braintree, where she been spending the afternoon spending her money within.
My immediately inclination is to ignore it as I believe it is a speculative invoice and they have no legal rights?? Could anyone confirm if i am correct or if a am a wally and liable to land my girlfriend with a hefty fine?
many thanks,
Paulo.

She was not ,and never discloses to the descendants of Dick Turpin( or insert your favourite highwayman ) that she was the driver.( Wink, wink)
The contract is then with an undisclosed driver . Oh ,they will pester you with threats, hoping you(she)'ll bite and respond. Don't .I'm at the threat stage now, for parking in a disabled space with no badge, when a passenger of the unknown driver had foot problems ,and needed to park close .Last threat was to me as RK, about small claims damages. In that event, I've had to spend two hours cleaning glue off screen, two hours loss of use ,and a penalty charge on top of that ( If they can add things on ,so can I). And parking time - about 20 mins.
I wouldn't bin, just keep in case you need proof of their threats. I should imagine that their letters would provide proof of their guilt in either using adhesive to attach a package to the windscreen ( possibly criminal damage) or slipping under wiper ( interfering with vehicle ?).
I've had one parking thingmajig have a panic at local Sainsburys when I replied to her threats by asking her to stick a penalty notice on my car, let me take a photo ,and call police ,with my intent on having her charged with one of the above . As a certain Mr Jones says "they don't like it up em" .

The letters they send look very serious - make sure your women folk 'man up' before reading them.
My wife nearly caved in to their threats, as would a lot of people I suspect. But be strong, and just bin them. We received five letters begging us to pay or else...that was over a year ago and nothing heard since.
