Private parking tickets / Re: ECP - Nantwich Morrisons
« on: October 28, 2025, 12:04:47 pm »
I wasn't sure if the incident date given the location would have been too much detail. It was the 11th October.
That sign is the only sign the driver would have seen. There are others, but only visible if you're in the right place to see them or leaving on foot and looking backwards.
I'm intending to go into Morrisons at the weekend and see if I can curtail the process.
Thanks both for the rapid replies.

Private parking tickets / ECP - Nantwich Morrisons
« on: October 28, 2025, 11:27:54 am »
Driver overstayed this car park, as they got into difficulties in another shop nearby. We did shop in the store afterwards, but no longer have the receipt.
The cameras look to have been installed some time in March.
Here's the front: ECP Invoice front
Back: ECP Invoice back
Signage: This is the only sign
I was a user/helper a few years back when Pepipoo was still a thing. Hopefully, I can still fight this one now.
Edited to add that although this is dated the 16th, it didn't arrive until 22nd. Is this a new frightener they use to get the nervous to cought up?

The Flame Pit / Building an Automated Ticket muncher

Note that currently the best I can do name wise is 'Ticket Muncher', this is as open to debate as anything else.
I'll update the thread as and when I add in suggestions from other members.
Attached is the first Draft.

The Flame Pit / Re: How do we get more people to fight their PCNs?
« on: February 18, 2025, 03:44:57 pm »
I'm hoping to begin with this will triage at the first instance, and end by creating a post or minimally a body of text that can be posted in a post. The text will have hidden tags so that it can be fed back in at a later date to continue.
I've attached a VERY skeletal flow chart for members to comment on. I'll keep it up to date after each iteration, so may be a fresh thread would be better?
Forgive Powerpoint it's issues converting to pdf, I'll sort that later.

Yeah the idea was that the process would start simply and given the answers would branch where required.
Shall I start a proper thread for this in the flame pit and we can put the current state of play on the first page?

The Flame Pit / Re: Humour thread
« on: February 14, 2025, 04:16:03 pm »
Two lawyers walk into a pub. They order a couple of drinks and take their sandwiches out of their briefcases and then they begin to eat them.
Seeing this, the angry publican exclaims, “Excuse me, but you can’t eat your own sandwiches in here!”
The two lawyers look at each other, shrug their shoulders, and then exchange sandwiches.

I haven't read the whole thread, but did read the first few pages.
The first thing that struck me was that the real question is how are the PPCs able to raise 40,000 invoices a day (not my figure, but one of the experts here) that rely on the threat of legal action to extort money from individuals? And then, when it gets to the actual legal part of it, many, if not all, discontinue. I realise I'm preaching to the converted here, but the answer to your question is simply 'publicity'.
There was talk of a website to help channel people down the correct route, and I remember Pepipoo used to have a similar 'calculator' for NIPs etc. Looking at JUST PPCs and their increasingly automated processes, it appears that in order to rebuff them we need an automated process also.
As it happens I've been writing software for over 30 years and could probably get something rudimentary together fairly quickly.
Judging by the speed of responses from SP83 and the OP I'm guessing you have some boiler plated responses prepared, this would be a good starting point.
PM me if your interested/agree that we need something to take up the 'easy win' tickets. @Southpaw82 : If this is to progress the best place for it would be as part of this site, and for that we'd need the owners permission. It's possible to host it elsewhere, if required, but would be better within this sites' mechanism for maintenance etc.

He I am, some 5 years since last sticking my nose into the seedy world PPCs, and one name that continues to astonish me as to their presence is Gladstones. Given the volumes of these invoices printed, someone, some where, must see that this is a huge abuse of process and the practice should be outlawed.
PS. The new board is a vast improvement on Pepipoo (RIP)
