Well that being the case and if the road is adopted by that Council, what this company are doing must surely be a criminal act i.e. fraud !

Devon County Council let you view all their traffic regulations via a GIS system.

Hi,
I also found a PCN stuck to my car window a few weeks in Paignton. I had paid the full amount of £5 for All day parking and when I returned to the car, received a PCN, checked my ticket but only £4 was showing. Must have been a fault with machine or a pound coin had not registered.
I think it was a scam so wrote a letter to appeal.
Just had a response today which seemed like a template letter. I don't think they even read my appeal and now are demanding £60 in 14 days othewise amount will be £100.
I'm going to ignore this and not pay but have googled their company and found this debt collector website which Premier Park Ltd appears as a customer so am a little worried.

Is this also a scare tactic - maybe all of the PPC have got together and created this website!!!!

No it is a Debt recovery business, but so what they have no power! All they can do is ask you to pay. Just part of the threat chain. Ignore them as you would the PPC.

Oh and the machine trick is another well known con! Could be worth a email to Torbay Council!

Not true. They operate at least one of the Council's residents parking car parks in Exeter. I know because I am currently in an "ignore" situation. Just hope the armchair lawyers know what they are talking about :rotfl:

Welcome to MSE. This thread you have 'bumped' is 5 months old, long gone off the front page of current threads - until now. Current index:

As for 'armchair lawyers' I take it you may not have looked at the current threads and the stickies at the top of the forum if you only stumbled across old threads? Always look at the current forum board when you find an old thread on a new forum, and always read the sticky info threads.

'Welcome, please read before posting' is a good one to read first, it's right up there near the top and has a Watchdog link with a real lawyer confirming everything we say here.

The whole show relies on imitation of authority, fake, fraud, sham, scam, all fit well.
Any ticket issued by an authority that can issue a legal and lawful penalty will say on the ticket itself very clearly
Traffic management act 2004
and
Penalty Charge notice
If it does not have both of these then it is a private contractual dispute ticket and any letters are mealy un-solicited invoices.
They try to blur the line,kid you they work for the council even copy the sticky envelope design and ticket style used by local councils, a whole show of smoke and mirrors.

It is not a dog.

keep the ticket, they are perfect emergency toilet paper.
