Spartacus' appeal to G24 Ltd.
« on: 17 May, 2013, 03:22:35 PM »
I have received an acknowledgment from G24 and await a contractual parking charge notice through the post addressed to me, Spartacus.

I will keep you posted as to whether I get the thumbs up or down. ;D

To: customer.services@g24.co.uk


Dear G24 Ltd.
 
Re: Contractual Parking Charge Notice Number [123456789] issued to [name and address] Vehicle registration number [AB 12 CDE]
 
I am Spartacus. I was the driver of the vehicle on the day in question. I live at the same address as the registered keeper.
 
You seem to be under the impression that I entered into some kind of contract to pay you £100 to park in [location], but I can confirm that I did not enter into any such contract as I did not see any signs either in, or around the car park.
 
In fact, even if I had seen the signs I could not have entered into any contract with you, because on the day in question I was an ignorant slave who spoke only Latin (with an American accent), and I could neither read nor write.
 
Fortunately, a crash course in English has enabled me to write to you to explain the situation. The spelling and grammar checking thingamabob on the computer is also a very useful tool (a crash course in computers was also helpful), and I trust my English is now sufficiently improved for you to understand my case for not paying your invoice.
 
Me and the lads in the slave army (it's a little project we are working on) reckon that unless you can bring forth the mighty armies of the Roman Empire to force me to pay up or, as is more likely, if you refuse to cancel invoice number 123456789, then perhaps you should issue me with a Popla appeal code.
 
Please address all future correspondence concerning this matter to: Spartacus, [address]. I look forward to receiving your invoice, appropriately addressed.

Kindly acknowledge safe receipt of this correspondence.
 
Yours faithfully
 
Spartacus

Gratitude Spartacus, this was indeed a worthy tome to read.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up,  totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a  ride!!"

Welcome Spartacus. I hope the G24 senate decide to invest £27 to continue this story. Needless to say, if the weasels contact us demanding to know who you are, we shall all give the appropriate response.   :rotfl:   I see from your IP address that you are fwom Wome. You must know my fwend, Biggus Dickus.

Appealing to the council is like playing chess with a pigeon. You might be a chess grand master but the pigeon will always knock all the pieces over, shit on the board and then strut around triumphantly.

Does Spartacus live in your house and was he driving your car at the time of the alleged breach of contract. ;)

No further action is required by you.


Apart from, of course, sticking this letter on the forum so that your mates can all roll about on the floor nursing their poor ribs.

Appealing to the council is like playing chess with a pigeon. You might be a chess grand master but the pigeon will always knock all the pieces over, shit on the board and then strut around triumphantly.
