Parking Ticket from CMS UK Ltd

pogofish

If it was in a CMS-managed car park, it would not be a legit council ticket.

However, the Law changed on the first of this month, so if your ticket was issued then or after, you really need to start a new thread as the advice on this one is likely out of date.

However if the Ticket was Issued before the end of last month, all the previous advice on the thread is good. Just IGNORE the scamming jokers.

Hi all,

I received a parking notice from cms back in march whilst visiting my daughter. It has took this company until now to find me. However the cost of the notice is now £140.00 and states if i dont pay within 7 days they will start legal proceedings and i will have to bore the costs. I have since spoken to a friend who is a magistrate and have been told to pay it, as they have more legal rights than ever these days. I didnt pay it when it was £60 as i looked on this forum, wish i had paid it sooner!!!
Anyway tried to pay it today by phone, it was engaged and when i did get through, states "there is no one to take your call right now please leave a message after the tone" what an absolute joke.
If anyone out there has had any dealings with this so called 'car parking enforcement company' or has been in a similar situation recently and can help / advise before I cough-up I'd be most grateful. Many thanks J

Your friend the magistrate said to pay it ? Honestly sometimes words fail me ! Listen this is an unenforceable invoice that won't ever go to one of your friends colleagues or him, the reason is that this company I believe never issued at in 2011 . In fact out of 1.8m fake tickets last year just 49 went before a judge, out of those 25 were won by the motorist. So youdo the maths

I sincerely hope I never have to come up in front of your friend, it'd be the noose for me and that would teach me to do 31mph.

All I can say, it's as well magistrates don't preside over civil cases!!!!!!

CMS LTD are at it again....

Just this morning I have been issues a parking ticket for parking in a disabled bay without displaying my badges...I was in a hurry and they had fallen into the drivers footwell of my car - they must have been watching me as I was only in ARGOS for 10mins I was walking with my stick and my tax disc on the car says disabled on it.......I have read this thread and as I understand it the advise is to not pay.

I am going into hospital in a week for spinal surgery and I hoestly dont want this hanging around......I have in a knee jerk reaction appealed using the details on the back of the ticket, I have sent a copy of my badges front and rear and I am now thinking I shouldn't have as I have effectively confirmed it was me - will this support their case against me? after reading this thread I am feeling violated ......I have been done for parking on yellow lines in the past But that was a fair cop and I paid it my own stupidity BUT robin park retail center has 2000 plus spaces and at 9.15am there were just a few cars there and I was parking legally but my badges were not on show......


I assume this is still the stance on this - Do Not Pay....

Thanks -

Bill

Just ignore. As for parking "legally" or not, don't forget this is a private car park so no laws have been broken.

Thanks for fast reply!

I will update this thread - if my appeal is upheld:rotfl:
