Happy Sunday lovely people! Following an unfortunate interaction with a member of the public last week with thought it would be useful to clarify for everyone how our relationship with FORECOURT EYE works. ⛽️👁️ This company provide a debt recovery system for no means of payment and drive off incidents. So when a customer doesn’t have the money to pay or simply fills up and drives off with no attempt to pay then their contact information and vehicle details get taken and Forecourt Eye ensure we get paid and escalate it via solicitors and the courts if necessary. We also have an Automatic Number Plate Recognition Camera so when you drive onto our forecourt, your vehicle will flag to our staff if it has been matched on a database of vehicles which have bad debts elsewhere around the country and it will prompt staff to ask for prior payment. It will also alert if your vehicle’s number plate has been cloned and therefore could be subject to a case of identity theft which the customer can then investigate with the police. It’s certainly not personal. It’s the system just telling our staff to be err on the side of caution and take prior payment. Before we used Forecourt Eye we used to lose up to £5k a year to bad debt and drive offs. Now it’s significantly less. Forecourt Eye is now an essential part of our operational infrastructure and by not incurring so many bad debt losses we can keep prices as low as possible for our paying customers. So if your vehicle flags get in touch with Forecourt Eye to understand why. Oh and we also report and send CCTV footage of all drive offs to the police and will consider putting the footage on social media. Please support our local UK family owned and UK tax paying small business and continue to pay for the fuel you take. We really appreciate anyone who reads this post and are grateful for your understanding on this matter! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
