    Should I cut my losses and pay the £60? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Absolutely not!

    Have a read around this forum at the thousands of other threads exactly the same as yours and you'll see there's no need to communicate with them at all, don't pay them anything, and the fact you've already appealed changes nothing. Simply ignore the 5 or 6 letters they'll inevitably send.

    No Do not even think about paying their grubby little office manager peter haswell.

    He is a known school bully
    For everthing else there's mastercard.
    For clampers there's Barclaycard.
  • 1. It's NOT A FINE. They have no legal ability to fine you. They can ask you for money and get away with their rude letters being dressed up to look like fines but they have no more standing than other junk mail.

    2. You haven't broken any laws.

    I suggest you wait until a few of their letters arrive and then take them to the store. Show them to the manager and tell him the threats in the letters are the reason you will never use his store again. Ignore any weasel words he uses to try and disown the threats. The PPC will be there with his companies blessing.

    Hi, I am new to forums but have had a parking fine from ukcps. I was parked in a disabled bay due to being unable to park in a mother and baby bay. I had just had twins and it was pouring with rain. Standard car parking spaces aren't really an option for me at the moment unless nobody is parked either side of me. I went into the store for approximately 10 minutes and came out to find the fine on my windscreen. I was so annoyed, frustrated and upset as soon as I returned home I appealed hoping to appeal to the companies better nature. I now appreciate this was probably the wrong thing to do.

    This really needs a thread of its own - Other than UKCPS being involved, you are in a quite different position to the OP of this one.

    Although the basic advice to ignore still applies.

    And it IS NOT A FINE!
