This is why your so-called "appeals" process is a sham. Its only purpose is to try and get the RK to divulge the identity of the driver.
So tell me, if nobody contacts you over a parking ticket, how do you find out the identity of the driver?
Not at all, we cancel hundreds of tickets if an appeal is made and the ticket was issued incorrectly.
I hear about people like you saying that tickets are never cancelled but unless you work for a PPC then how do you know, people who have a ticket cancelled is hardly likely to come on here asking for advice as they do not need any as they appealed and the ticket was cancelled so again your viewpoint is very much floored.
As you know, if a person does not pay then the keeper is contacted and formally put on notice and if they fail to respond then they goto court and I am yet to come across a case where a person has not contacted us, we take them to court and then the court sides with them from experience the courts are NOT impressed with people only responding when court papers are issued and wasting valuable court time and this is something these forums advise.
I can only speak from experience and from facts that tickets are cancelled on a very regular basis and if someone out there who currently works for/or has worked for a parking company tells you otherwise then this matter should be investigated but I think you will find in the REAL world many tickets are cancelled by every company on valid appeals, you just dont get to hear about them as there is no need to.0 -
The only people you HAVE to supply details of the driver to if asked is the POLICE not the scamming PPC's

What the ppc's don't seem to get is that if the "excess charges " were for a complete days parking and not some penalty amount we would not be discussing this now. It would have been paid and finished with. (assuming the days parking was not the same as the penalty/excess charge that is)I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

But how can you take the RK to court if they are not the driver? You are going after the wrong person.
As for "valid appeals". How about those disabled drivers who have reported on here being ticketed because of making very simple mistakes, such as their blue badge falling down into the foot-well. When they have told your company of this (thus proving they have a blue badge) their "appeal" is still refused. And you call yourself an "ethical company".
Face the facts. Your company has nothing to do with regulating parking. It's just a way of screwing money out of innocent people.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

Just stop lying, you only cancel tickets after the landowner orders you to, or risk losing your contract, and even then you charge the landowner a "cancellation" charge, to fund your Greggs habit.0 -
I think Schedule4Rules is actually UGCPS's Peter Haswell and not Perky.Just stop lying, you only cancel tickets after the landowner orders you to, or risk losing your contract, and even then you charge the landowner a "cancellation" charge, to fund your Greggs habit.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

Do you mean like the Hastings hospital which was charged £10.00 for every ticket cancelled.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -

Yep, sorry we issued this ticket in error, we will cancel it if you pay us £10.0 -
I think I'm correct. The "evidence" is something he let slip on another thread over UKCPS's famous "court victory", when the motorist has only to pay back £5 a month.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0
