01158225020

its parking enforcement services

They claim to be able to fine people for overstaying in a private car park, the fact is that they rely on vunerable people especially older people to crack unter the pressure of receiving thretening letters where the amounts seem to escalate if you don't pay by a certain date.

The best advise is to totaly ignor these letters, you will continue to receive them for several months but because the county courts in the UK have agreed not to enforce these demands, the companies have no way of claiming the charge from you.

This particular company "http://www.ce-service.co.uk/c_service.html"  & "01158225020"   are a complete scam and have been deliberately targeting the old in the Wigan area and sending out second warning letters without without actually sending a first response and claiming £150.

Let all of your friends know about this and inform the Police and your local paper.

i have just recieved a parking notice from civil enforcement ltd for parking in a disabled space, at tesco in LEIGH  i was only nipping in the store for a couple of things and whilst i do have a disabled badge ,with all the hustle and bustle of the bank holidays did forget to display it, There was no notice on my car when i came out of the store to warn me that i would be getting a fine and i got the notice this morning saying they want £75 now if it is not paid in 14 days it will be £150. has anyone else been done like this and is it legal?

yes i got 1 to £75 but if i don't pay it go up by £150. from www.ce- service.co.uk is this company legion?

Hi,I received 1of these notices today 5/10/12 for parking in Bridgnorth in a car park near to the river,yes I should have bought a ticket but I never actually parked the car and went shopping ,I was merely using the car park to meet someone to hand them something they had bought from me but got talking and was there for 26 minutes,however I have paid the fine £35 or it is £70 after 14 days,I can't be bothered to dispute it as I'm sure there is some small print and it could end up costing you more in the long run,as my wife said to me you committed the crime ,so pay the fine,this was after she said ,I told you to buy a ticket and it would have only cost you £1.20.all I can say is pay the fine and try to put it behind you,you won't be taken to court but they will pass it onto a debt collection company who will want some extra cash for collecting it .

Hiya, I have just had one too from Tesco in Leuigh - Did you end up paying it? If not, did anything come of it?? Thanks :-)

Hi,  (How to have ticket cancelled).
I received a ticket requesting payment of £75.00 or £150.00 if not payed within 14 days.
After speaking to Civil Enforcement without any joy i contacted shop where we were obtaining a quote to buy a carpet and they advised me to take ticket to them and they would sort it out.
I have not been to shop as yet due to weather but I expect the fine to be cancelled when we go into to confirm the purchase and the carpet we want.

Hope this proves to be helpful.

Hi, see the comments i have posted today 18/1/2013.
IE: Contact shop where you were shopping explain to them you were purchasing from them and hopefully they will get it cancelled for you. You may have to go to shop with proof you were shopping.
It worked for me.

Hi just got a penalty of 150 pound which i have to pay 75 pound in 14 days l have purchase the ticket for 2 hours now i dont if this a scam or not will some plz help me need to know

Good reporting them to the ICO. The criminal fraudsters like Anthony Simister who run scams like to plant stooges on these forums to discourage honest folk from contacting the ICO or Ofcom. Ignore them. Data criminals don't want the hassle, bad publicity or fines, and have big payoffs to make to stay in business. Pay them back with hassle.  I've bookmarked the ICO complaint form and report each and every call now via the form on www.ico.gov.uk : https://www.snapsurveys.com/swh/surveylogin.asp?k=134674895144

Here's the latest fine for a dodgy company caught with its trousers down and breaking the law:

http://www.ico.gov.uk/news/latest_news/2013.aspx

News release: 20 March 2013

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has served a monetary penalty of £90,000 to a company that has blighted the public with thousands of unwanted marketing calls.

DM Design, based in Glasgow, has been the subject of nearly 2,000 complaints to the ICO and the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). The company consistently failed to check whether individuals had opted out of receiving marketing calls – in clear breach of the law - and responded to just a handful of the complaints received.

In one instance an employee refused to remove a complainant’s details from the company’s system and instead threatened to “continue to call at more inconvenient times like Sunday lunchtime”.

The monetary penalty is the first the ICO has issued for a serious breach of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) relating to live marketing calls. This latest penalty comes after the joint owners of a company, which was responsible for sending hundreds of thousands of spam texts, received penalties totalling £440,000 in November last year.

The ICO has informed two more companies that it is intending to impose significant penalties over breaches of the law, with a final decision likely in the coming weeks. A further ten companies are subject to ongoing investigation for cold-calling and sending spam text messages.

Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, said:

“Today’s action sends out a clear message to the marketing industry that this menace will not be tolerated. This company showed a clear disregard for the law and a lamentable attitude toward the people whose day they were disturbing. This is not good enough.

“This fine will not be an isolated penalty. We know other companies are showing a similar disregard for the law and we’ve every intention of taking further enforcement action against companies that continue to bombard people with unlawful marketing texts and calls.

“All of this work has been made possible thanks to the information we are receiving from the public, which has assisted our investigation team in identifying the companies making these calls.”

View a copy of the DM Design monetary penalty notice

The ICO and OFCOM, who are responsible for regulating silent calls, work closely together and will be publishing an open letter to the marketing industry reminding companies that they must comply with the legal and regulatory measures in place. Failure to do so will lead to enforcement action, with the ICO able to issue penalties of up to £500,000 for serious breaches of the PECR, and OFCOM having the power to issue penalties of up to £2,000,000 over breaches of rules linked to abandoned and silent calls.

The ICO has setup a online reporting tool which people can use to send us the details of any unwanted marketing texts and calls. View the reporting tool, which has already received nearly 140,000 responses since it was setup in March last year.
