    Oh apologies for that, I must have got mixed up; there was a mention of DVLA on the letter and not on the website.

    Apologies...it seems to disappear when you click any other section and even if you go back to the home it's still not there but when I re went to the link it worked. Sorry :(

    Just had an email back, they are investigating!

    Will keep you posted....

    I think it is a legitimate company (just look at the list of their clients), but I am very wary of them using that police logo. Don't forget that they look after civil parking matters which has nothing to do with the police.

    I am afraid you are mistaken. I have yet to observe a single example of a Private Parking company that operates within the applicable regulations and statutes.
    Not one single example.

    Coblcris, wat are you trying to say, that this Central Ticketing is not working to regulations?

    I was refering to the PPC's point of view. They don't think these regulations apply to them i.e. there are no regulations in their eyes...
