Comment on Parking Services Ltd and Similar Ilk: Know Your Rights and Push Back by Andrea Lakeland

Bear in mind that it’s usually the landlord not the tenant who put these systems in. I am a business owner and the body corporate has signed up with smart parking compliance with absolutely no consultation with any of the 6 tenants. There was a financial incentive offered to the committee who decided and all the fines go to smart parking. None of the tenants want it and now I’m having to look at paying a lawyer to fight this. I just have a small business

I have been hit by Smart compliance Management at Rebel Sport Wairau Park.

I did stay longer as the shop didn’t have what I wanted but it was available online and this took me over their parking limit.

I queried asked for it to be waivered and was met with a no.

I have now received a further invoice and notification that the fine from $85 has increased to $105 and failure to pay could result in me being towed or clamped.

These guys rely on the public not checking their terms and conditions and hide the fee many lines into their spiel

By driving in you automatically agree to their terms unless you drive out immediately and you also agree to allowing them access via NZTA to you plate and details and you agree to them being able to tow or be clamped.

These clowns seem to be taking advantage of a slow NZ Fair Trading body. How can they be allowed to be granted these abilities to access data etc.

Surely $85 plus another $20 is excessive.. surely privacy is being breached and how do we know the time stamps etc are not being manipulated (even speed cameras are verified).

Oops sorry got into a rant I will be taking my fine further. They seem to have left off their conditions the ability of the person to dispute via Tribunal thereby giving a false impression that there is no other avenue than to just pay.

Comment on “Global Economic Forum” Survey call warning by D64

In reply to Alex B.

Had phone calls years ago from these wasters and had another one today from a mobile number out of nowhere.

I answered and they used my full name, said I don’t recognise the name and they should update their records accordingly as I am not the individual they are looking for.

They said they it’s not a problem and they could do a survey with me on 8 questions anyway, they just needed some personal information of mine.

They are a poor quality lot but still be on guard.

I recommend not answering personally. I have concerns that they can record a call and then have access to you saying certain phrases with your voice with the potental to create / manipulate ot make a sentence and pass voice verification… Perhaps I’m cynical, but these people are very persistent for some reason.

In reply to Warrick.

I have had repeated calls from mobile phones which I have blocked
Last call I threatened to sue them for hassling me and hung up
They are very in your face
Constantly call you by your name and say you requested a call
The operators are like little ants … very persistent and annoying

Comment on “Global Economic Forum” Survey call warning by MANISH RAJPAL

So I got a call a few months ago from a USA number & this Filipina sounding lady stated the usual bullshit about Global Economic Forum Survey etc…I politely declined and disconnected. She then called a week later from another country (UK), and repeated the same thing, and I told her ,,,,I had told you last week that I’m not interested. She then said but you told me to call back, (which I hadn’t), this time I hung up not so politely. She called a day later again when I lost my head and ended up cursing the crap out of her. I also said …don’t call me again, xxxx. To her credit, she calmly replied, I’m never going to stop calling you, I have access to hundreds of numbers, and hung up. She has since lived up to her promise, and over the past 3 months I’ve built up a list of various blocked numbers from the US and UK mostly.

And now they are calling people like me, in Sweden. This time from a number purportedly in Boston, MA, USA. My bullshit detector is very sensitive and so I terminated the call and blocked the number in less than 30 seconds. Then of course I wasted minutes googling, finding this page and venting. Hope it helps someone else later on.
