Appologies, I posted this in main forum, wanted to repost here
Hi all,
I play in a band and have used the same spot to park in for the last 2 years, a small alleyway to the side of the pub.
Recently they have installed gates, and we always ask for the code (from the Pub) and we go through, unload and park.
On our last visit, we did the same thing, and lo and behold, my drummer and I receivd parking fines from 'Flashpark' for £60, along with a nice picture of our cars (taken by a resident)
We asked the pub is we could park here and they said yes, the gentleman who apprently took the photo also said, " dont worry park today but next time may be not" we took this as an acceptance to park.
We have both written in explaining this and they say we still have to pay.
My question is: Has anyone come across this company before?
There seems to be an element of legallity to this based on private land laws etc.
Should we pay?
Could this get messy or do we ignore???

Update - We both submitted a defense saying Pub said it was ok, and also the guy who lives there, no go they say we still have to pay otherwise we go to court. If it does, can we win? Will they take us to court? Am I being paranoid or should I just pay to avoid all the hassle. Would love to hear from any other flashpark victims0

Why have you started this second thread? Your original one is right below this one.
Yes, you ARE being paranoid. But, of course, the PPC wants to scare you into paying. Calm down. File the letters away and ignore. There are plenty of other cases identical to yours on this board that you can read and put your mind at rest.
ETA: Submitted a Defence? Have proceedings been issued then?0
