Private Parking Fine (My First)
Seeking advice on the ticket I received on the 25/06/2011. I bought a two hour ticket in the Maritime Musuem Car Park, Falmouth. I then put the ticket in the car, got the two kids out and went shopping in the town. When I came back I was very surprised to notice a ticket on the windscreen. I saw the attendant and showed…

Supermarkets know about the scamming PPCs
This is a great forum and many thanks again for the advice that I was given a few weeks ago; namely ignore all correspondence from the PPCs which in my case was TCP (or TS;)P may be more appropriate !). My friend;) has only received one threatagram so far but will hopefully get more as he/she really enjoys a good laugh. I…

Parking Eye - As predictable night turning into day
A week ago, we received our first ever Parking Charge Notice from Parking Eye. Foolishly, as anyone who read my first post will know, I emailed Parking Eye before checking this forum out. I hasten to add that I didn't "appeal" per se in that email, or even use the word appeal, but merely stated that we had actually paid…

McDonalds and UKPC - apologies as I know it's probably been covered elsewhere...
Am having a bit of a personal crisis at the moment. I met a friend last Monday to discuss this and the easiest place to meet was a McDonalds - though neither of us normally set foot in the place. Anyway, we chatted and chatted, purchasing food and drinks there (yes, I know - questionable taste) I came home today, still in…

Dodgy Lawyers
I know this isn't to do with parking tickets, but the SRA have just found against two lawyers who sent out 'intimidating letters' to thousands of people over alleged copyright infringements. These two points:- the two men were found to have used their position as solicitors to take or attempt to take an unfair advantage of…

Protection of Freedoms Bill -Update
This is from the "Impact Assessment " on the Bill. (The bold is mine) The BPA will also establish an independent arbitration mechanism. A pilot exercise is proving successful, but there is not yet a viable funding mechanism, which will be essential if the ‘complaints board’ is to be truly independent. Keeper liability will…

Which car parks can actually enforce their charges?
Have been reading with some amusement the various threads about PCNs and what aeroplane to fold them into. What seems clear is that regardless of what signage they want to place on a poll in the car park, they cannot fine you or even compel you to pay them whether you go over the time on your ticket. If you even bother to…

Council charging to park on beach
Gwynedd council are charging cars £4 to park on the public beach (at Morfa Bychan). Surely these charges cannot be enforcable on a public beach! :mad:. There is no barrier and there are no signs regarding rules, hours or penalties etc. just a hut where a young man in a small hut. I am considering just driving on to the…

Why charges imposed by Private Parking Companies are unenforceable.
Why charges imposed by Private Parking Companies are unenforceable. Unlike fines, which are issued by Local Authorities or the Police and are governed by Statuary Law, charges imposed by PPC’s come within the remit of contract law. Contracts are determined to exist in English Law under the principle of Offer and…

Parking Ticket Vehicle Control Services
Hi Guys! I received a ticket from Vehicle Control Services a couple of months ago and have been ignoring their letters as advised on this website. This will be the 3rd letter they have sent and it is from Roxburghe and looks like the examples posted on the site. My concern is that Graham White Solicitors rang my house this…

ePetition - Please Sign - Against PPC's Holding Reg. Keepers Liable For Invoices
Just come across this ePetition which we should all be signing. Click here. Schedule 4 will hand the refugees from clamping - when it is banned - another licence to print money besides the damage it will do to civil liberties and established contract law. We need to keep this at the top of the board!

TfL Congestion Charges - What A Mess!
Hi everybody, hope you are all well. I know this is probably going to be the most laughable story ever to have graced this forum. Basically I drive a 59 plate Toyota IQ2. Now, I read on the IQ forum that this car was exempt from the congestion charge. Not being a Londonder or very intelligent at times, I then proceeded to…

Stansted Airport Parking - Empark - Deferred Payment Declaration
Hey, My dads friend picked me up tonight from Stansted airport. He entered the Short Stay car park by mistake, as there were loads of cars behind him and all the other car parks looked full. He entered at 22:58, and my flight was due to land at 23:00, but was delayed and landed at 23:19. I only had hand luggage, and a new…
