Any balance after paying the parking fee, penalties, fines, cost of arrest, removal, and sale commission is held for the owner. It doesn’t go to the coroner, bailiff, Airport or government. Eventually if no owner can be found it goes to Treasury as Bona vacancia.

Damn. So you say that I have to pay for all the chocolate Bourbon biscuits consumed in these meetings? Outrageous.

(Of course, there is the possibility that the total of the additional charges is greater than the amount the car was sold for, so the car owner still owes the gov....)

Absolutely not. I didn't say it was did I?

DOI says at 'each stage of process the owner has the opportunity to engage'

A 'well-established statutory process' was followed when dealing with a car left at Ronaldsway Airport for six months.

That's according to the Department of Infrastructure in response to a woman whose car went missing from Ronaldsway Airport.

Speaking on IOM TV, Samantha Tozer said she often did long trips, leaving her vehicle in the airport car park.

This time, after six months away, she returned to find it had gone, and later discovered it had been auctioned.

In a statement, the DOI said: "A well-established statutory process is followed in relation to any vehicles that must be removed due to being illegally parked or abandoned.  

 

"If Fixed Penalty Notices fail to resolve the issue, the removal procedure begins and a notice is affixed to the vehicle advising of the intention to remove.  This affords the owner a period of 14 days to remove it themselves.  If it must be removed by the Department, a letter is sent to the registered owner advising them of the action taken.

 

"At each stage, the owner has the opportunity to engage through the appropriate channels.  This may include the need to settle any outstanding costs, such a, parking fines or removal and storage expenses incurred by the taxpayer.

 

"While some vehicles are auctioned off when the owner cannot be traced, in most cases offenders are able to reclaim their property after settling any outstanding costs."

 

 

 

 

Come on Mr minister.

Back up that statement with a straight face...............

Nice to refer to taxpayers who fund the DOI as offenders but given what they’ve said I’d be worried if you’re one of the £810,000 of fixed penalty notices still outstanding if they’re now resorting to these tactics.

What's the betting a good lawyer could take the terms for the carpark apart and hand the DOI their arse on a silver platter? 

 

Can someone please try to pull up Isle of Man airport in the RingGo app and check for terms of use? It won't come up for me right now. Can't find the airport.

Head south, it's a couple of miles past the fairy bridge on the left.

Unless you’re physically  there and have google location services switched on you have to know the airport RinGo ID number to access any specific airport page, fees and T&C

Works if you stick the location code in, 35800.

That’s what I said. You have to have the RinGo location code

[John Wright]

Interestingly that’s the short stay car park. Does the long stay have a different code? Plus, 3 months is 13 weeks, not 12. So the fee list is wrong.

 

[Kopek]

Well Ringo has certainly drummed up some revenue for the Doi???

 

Would the  excess parking charges have been more that the net from the sale???

[John Wright]

Long Stay is 35801.

Same defect.

 

[Kopek]

Well! Perhaps not?

[Amadeus]

I can’t see any Terms being listed anywhere in the app when I try to book. Doesn’t even say “by clicking Pay you agree yadyada”. Also doesn’t say car will be towed and sold if you overstay. These are all the screens a user will come across when using the app for 35800.
