The blue badge scheme does apply in private car parks, this is just an invoice that is not enforceable so will not go anywhere near a court, the advice is to ignore completely, don't communicate with them and don't appeal as it's not independent and basically bogus !Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?0 -
It's a limited company, they cant impose fines.
Ignore it and any begging letters that may follow.0 -
REALLY? this is a first for me but a friend as got one from the council themselfs(if mine was from the council then i would of paid it)
it just makes me think he had tcp on his jacket but doesnt say anything about them on the ticket!
there are signs up tho does that matter?
thanks for the replys0 -
It is often in your favour to contest council PCNs. This isn't such but I make the point regardless.0
