UKPC - ANYONE who gets a 'ticket' - please read

charlieB

Thanks a lot, Coupon Mad!

I've been dithering about this past hour or so, wondering whether I should pay or not but will now do exactly what you suggest.

Incidentally, I see that UKPC charge £1.50 if you pay by credit or debit card but, if you pay by cheque, you must allow up to 8 days for it to clear. So, unless you get the cheque off the minute the letter arrives (rejecting the appeal) you risk the cheque not clearing in time and incurring further charges!!

And to anyone who argues that you have to "obey the rules" (as seen in one forum), I normally do but the goalposts keep moving. For non Blue-Badge holders this company charges £3.40 for 2 hours parking there so are targeting the sick or possibly anxious relatives who are vulnerable and which I believe is nothing short of criminal.

Thanks again!:T

But you dont risk any further charges as their charges are not enforceable and can be ignored

Very recently ukpc was sued for trespass and had make a formal court undertaking not to do it again!! Cost them over 1k

Issued a ticket (invoice) by UKPC earlier in the year...I used Google, came on to MSE and read posts on this forum.

I ignored UKPC and true enough got the stupid letters...


Initially from UKPC asking me to pay a ‘fine’...

Then from a 'debt recovery' agency (no doubt the UKPC)...

Then from a Solicitor (UKPC again perhaps?)...

Then from a new debt recovery agency (UKPC) saying I could now pay the fine at a REDUCED rate...(yes – how odd - debt recovery agencies now reduce fines IN THIER FIRST CONTACT WITH YOU)

Then a new letter from the debt recovery agency offering a FURTHER REDUCTION on my fine...(yes, then they offer to reduce it more – how odd)

Then.....

Silence.



All because of people on this forum taking the time to warn the public to not pay these STUPID ‘fines’ - THANKYOU ALL.

PRIVATE PARKING TICKETS ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE – DO NOT PAY THEM – EVENTUALLY THEY WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS

I wish we could somehow get this message to all the poor people who get swindled into paying up –

the government should do something about these people as it's a bl**dy disgrace.

Go to the main parking forum as just linked for you by Stroma (you could also just go there with one click but Stroma's linked it anyway). Two easy things to do in order to get used to the forum and see that this is all a scam:

1. In the 'search this forum' option on the right of the titles titles just above all the listed threads, put in 'APCOA Luton' into the search box (with correct capitals, has to be exact). Your search result will reveal many threads much more relevant for you to read.

2. Back at the forum thread list (always one click away by following the breadcrumb trail back - as explained in my signature under my post here) look on the far left hand side above all the listed threads, there's a blue 'new thread' button if you need to start one with any further queries not already answered here.
