Parking Fines

Hi I received a parking ticket outside the jurys inn in derby. My vehicle had been parked there for a number of days and one day i returned from work to find all the other cars had gone and signs had been put up and a parking ticket. I understand from the hotel that all the vehicles that had been parked there had been ticketed. I wrote an appeal letter tto the private firm who were working on behlaf of the landowners and questioned why no notice had been given. I saw the signs clearly when i went and moved the vehicle and if they had been there i would have left my vehicle there. The company are refusing to change their decision and tell me that they have photographic evidence that there were no vehicles parked there when the signs went up, which can not be the case as my vehicle had been there for a number of days along with a number of other vehicles. What do i do? i have no evidence and the hotel will not get involved. I went to work at 8am and when i returned at 11pm there were new signs and which i was told went up that day a 4pm and a ticket from 8.03pm. they say they have evidence, this cant be so, can someone help please. many thanks

Standard advice applies. Private company so completely unenforceable, so just ignore them.0

If it is a PPC same advice as all others don't talk to them or tell them who the driver was. Don't give them a penny0

Yes as long as it is a PPC you can ignore all the threatening letters you will receive over the coming months. (Makes good fuel for your fire if you have a real open fire)
As others have stated do not contact them. They will probably even have the cheek to ask you for £10 to see the so called evidence they hold.0 -
may I suggest that recipients of the "ppc paper trail" file them away for a fair while. You can bring them out at Christmas etc for a laugh with friends.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
