Another parking ticket

LunaticSamurai · 27 January 2017 at 2:45PM

Hello again.

So it seems that my luck if out with this company.

I parked in the underground of the complex and i got a ticket. Attached it to the inside of the drivers window. I came back to the car to find a yellow parking charge.

I sent a letter back tot he company with a photocopy of my ticket.

They have just replied stating that because my ticket was not displayed in the windscreen they are refusing my claim because i was in breach of the terms and conditions of the parking rules.

I'd like to submit a picture of the letter but i cannot add a link, sorry.

They have to be joking, are they looking for a kicking. Get in front of a judge.

IMO they have obtained your details from the DVLA without proper cause, thus breaching your DPA rights and their KADOE Contrac.

Read up in the newbies faq thread near the top of the forum on how to deal with appealing this.

The first point is do they have a photo of your car parked without a ticket displayed? The Code of Conduct says they must supply this.

If they have such a photo, then it comes down to how can you prove one was there. Inevitably your photo will be timed at after the ticket PCN was attached and they will argue that you placed it there after the PCN was issued.

The photo taken by the operative is the key here and you need it. Make sure that you do get it and host it on tinypics and give us a doctored link (hssp instead of http).

Ah right i see, thanks for the info about the link. I can now attach the letter i received. I did not place the ticket on the dash or inside the windscreen i put the ticket on my driver door window.

Thanks again for all your help.

OK, same as any IPC firm. No appeal will work and you need to know what to ignore and what not to ignore (as above, covered in the sticky thread).

Coupon-mad. Thanks for the reply.

I have read through the sticky and am unsure of what to do. There are so many area's covered and so many links i am a little confused.

I understand i am new and being told to read through the sticky but is there any chance someone can send a link to which part. Again - i had a ticket from he ticket machine, i still have it, a copy was sent to the company but because it was not displayed in the windscreen (I had put it on the drivers door window) they are refusing the claim.

Thanks again for the help.
