Why??? PPCs don't do appeals, they just want your money.

This isn't a fine, it's an unenforceable invoice. Stop communicating with them, ignore any and all further correspondence until and unless you get a valid stamped county court claim - then look out of your window to see the pigs flying past.

On Sat I went with my mum to my local tesco, which has a carpark operated by central ticketing... My mum has a blue badge so I parked in a disabled bay and we went into store, we only brought a few things, and took around 30 minutes... when we returned to the car the badge had fell off the dash onto the floor, must have been when we closed the door... a warden had been and put a ticket on for falling to display a badge??? what should I do, I have not attempted any contact so far??? it says to appeal in writing?? but if I appeal am I admitting liability?? I have a good credit rating and do not want to get a CCJ or a blackmark for not paying on the other hand I would prefer not to fork out £70.... thanks guys...

Just ignore. Disabled parking bays have no official standing in private car-parks. It's not a fine and they aren't "wardens" just low-paid drones who work for these scam artists.

Do not give this unenforceable invoice an undeserved status by appealing - they'll just reject it anyway.

Nothing can happen to your credit rating, or cause you to get a CCJ, unless they take you to court (extremely unlikely), win their case (Elvis in the local chip shop degree of unlikeliness), and you don't pay the judgement (on a par with finding that the moon is made of cheese).

As per all the other private parking threads on here, ignore all their letters, never contact them, and don't pay them a penny ... bosh, £70 saved!!!

Here we go again. Central ticketing left me a ticket after I had left my car overight on Tescos car park. The reason being the car sometimes has an intermittent fault and will not start until left for some time (god knows why). I picked it up the next day with the help of a friend who managed to start it.
I appealed to Central ticketing enclosing a copy of an invoice from the AA that I had received in the past for the same fault, also telling them that I had asked advise of a Tesco emplyee who advised me it would be ok to leave it there overnight without risk of a fine !!
They replied telling me I had been unsucessful in my appeal & I now have a demand for a larger fine because of no payment along with threat of court action
.
Any advise

Ignore all correspondence from them, also report them as the tickets and letters they send out are in breach of the Companies Act 2006 section 82 - 84 : all registered company letterheads, emails, invoices etc have to have their company registration number on, registered company address, and place of registration on.
Send copies of ticket and any letters you have from Central that do not show these details to : Technical Offences Team, Companies House, Crown Way, Cardiff CF14 3UZ.

Well central ticketing work by having a parking warden in Tescos patrolling the car park if the warden is not there you won't get a ticket as he issued them

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to say. And don't dignify them with the name of "wardens". They are not, just employees of Central Ticketing.

"Disabled parking bays have no official standing in private car-parks"

They do under the law it's called discrimination of disabled persons act if you discriminate against a disabled person which parking in a disabled space and not being disabled is you commit a offence

A disabled friend fo mine sued someone for parking in a disabled space which she needed the others was full so by parking in one and not displaying a blue badge / being disbaled your braking the law

It's pople with Ferrari's who don't wan't to get there paint scratched who do it because the space is bigger that is because the bigger space is for wheelchairs

Not on private land you're not. Disabled parking bays mean nothing on private land as far as any offence is concerned (even though firms have to provide them under the DDA).

As always, ignore ignore ignore. There are several threads here that will tell you why.
