In an example of corporate greed, Victorian company Ace Parking created a company called Parking Patrols Pty Ltd which it used to place fake fines imitating council parking fines on vehicles in its private car parks. The department of Consumer Affairs in Victoria eventually caught up with Parking Patrols Pty Ltd in 2012 and they were found by the Supreme Court to have engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct.
Fast forward to 2015, and Ace Parking appear to us to be trying to hide their connection to Parking Patrols Pty Ltd. A new company called "Car Park Compliance Services Pty Ltd" has begun issuing notices in Ace Parking car parks. A reader of this website contacted me with ASIC reports showing that in fact, Car Park Compliance Services Pty Ltd has the same company secretary and same director as Parking Patrols Pty Ltd. That is, Parking Patrols Pty Ltd has phoenix'd into Car Park Compliance Pty Ltd" has begun issuing notices in Ace Parking car parks.
