Most annoyed did some shopping today in and out purchased an item - crossed the road to donate some items in the local charity shop - all took ten minutes - parked within a defined space was allowed to park there for up to an hour - got back to find ticket from uk cps on the windowscreen spoke to guy who said 'that he gave me it because I walked of the site!'.. what?? I explained just thought I would pop across the road to the charity shop to which he said I left the site so I got a ticket.. this guy was sat in his car watching the whole time...
I am soo annoyed apparently this ticket says pay within 14 days at the 'discounted rate of £60 otherwise it will be £100...
I genuinely don't have any money to pay I am already in the bankrupt courts...
Anyone heard of this company?
thanks

we've heard of them, and we've ignored them
Just ignore their letters and they will get bored and leave you alone. Have a look at the thread at the top of the forum to see the sort of letters to expect. They will look and sound official but they are, in the words of the bard "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".
Please feel free to post back if you need more reassurance One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0 -
Thankyou haliburt2209 for your reply.. not looking forward to the letters..
my own fault for 'doing good' by donating to charity..0 -

Yep, I will ignore, though I supose its a lonely feeling opening the post when the letters start arriving.
thankyou for taking the time to post - didn't know there was a forum specifically for parking fines, good to know.0 -
Dear all,
I've been back to the car park (walked there!) where I got the ticket, lots of signs explaining time limits and there amongst all the words one line regarding contracts and walking off site contravens contract.. didn't realise I was entering into a 'contract', spoke to the people who own the shop who said it was nothing to do with them but lots of people have been getting tickets and paying up she believes this company will take me to court, though I've no idea what evidence she has of this.
On principle I took the item I bought back to them and told them I wouldn't be using their store again due to the car parking situation...of course it probably won't make any difference to the store or my fine.0 -
mhen...you don't have a 'fine'...don't pay.
Here I'll show you the bits....
PPC Advice
We appreciate that you believe that there are certain things about your case that makes it unique. The good news is that it’s not unique. It has been many a year since there has been a PPC case which did not fit into the std answer of ignore it all.
Firstly if it's council/police - go to Pepipoo forums and post the details and a copy of the PCN [front and back] on there. Council/Police issue Penalty Charge Notices [and are the only ones allowed to do so].
If it's a PPC then......they issue ‘invoices’ [often made to resemble official PCNs]; often call their invoices Parking Charge Notices [same initials, see part of the scam]. These are legally unenforceable as [leaving aside signage, etc] the PPCs needs to prove who was driving the car [not just name the Registered Keeper (which is all the council/police have to do)]. Nothing else matters.
So in essence, if it’s a PPC….
Ignore everything [unless you get an N1 from the court].

She has no evidence, she is just assuming they will, which of course is untrue.mother_hen wrote: »On principle I took the item I bought back to them and told them I wouldn't be using their store again due to the car parking situation...of course it probably won't make any difference to the store or my fine.
Good for you! Well, if you did it out of principal then others surely will, shop keepers need to know that allowing these vermin in will deter business.0
