UKCPS Parking Fine

Options
I recently recieved a parking fine from UKCPS in the post saying i have 10 days to pay £100 but this was the first i had heard about it apparently they put a ticket on my car and this was on the 11/12/11 but the first i heard about it was on the 27/12/11 where do i stand. It was issued when i was at chatham dockside shopping where it is free parking for 4 hours apparently "i was observed leaving the site". The reasoning behind this was that i was meeting a friend and went to meet him 2 minutes away and then went back to the dockside and actually shopped there and they have the cheek to fine me !!!!

    THIS IS NOT A FINE! and don't dignify it by calling it such or trying to justify yourself in any way.

    Just ignore the scammers and check the sticky to see what to expect from them. :)

    Seconded. :T

    TobyT, read the sticky threads and watch the Watchdog video. Top of the forum, you should read 'welcome, please read before posting' and 'PPC letters/threats'.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    It's a free car-park, the landowner has lost nothing from you "walking off site".

    I can't remember where it is, but there was a retail park with no cash-machine on it, the closest cash-point was just over the road so the scammers raised a few invoices for people "leaving" site (to get cash out to spend in the shops).

    Ignore UKCPS and ignore that retail area which is silly enough to want to harass paying customers

    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?
