UKPC Parking Charge Internet Photos

grumpyawldwifey

Hi

I'm on to my third ignored letter from UKPC now which includes a photo of the back my car parked naughtily.
There's details of a website address where I can allegedly view other photos of my bad, bad car.
Has anybody looked at their photos?
Will they pester me more if I view them?
Will I be acknowledging that my car is baaad if I peek?
I really want to see if they have a photo from the front of my car which would clearly show that the rest of the car park was devoid of vehicles at the time, therefore, I was not depriving anyone of a parking space which in return could cause the shopping centre in question to lose revenue. (One of many possible arguments to refuse to pay.)
I don't want to attract attention to myself by viewing the pictures but am really really curious.
What do you reckon?

Use a proxy server to mask your IP address, if you really find it necessary, but their web people might not even be looking/tracing. All that costs man-power.

Look at them on someone else's PC or in the library.

I was just thinking that, as I'm assuming I'll have to use my "Parking Charge Reference Number" to access the pictures, this could be construed as someone feeling a bit guilty, which of course I'm not and I might get bombarded even more.
I could go to an internet cafe or a library, if I can find one still open , to avoid revealing my IP

Whoops, crossed posts

You won't get bombarded with any different letters - these companies have no imagination and very rarely use anything other than the templates in the letter-chains thread. Second to top thread on this forum board.

ISPs use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The IP addresses are randomly allocated to users from a pool as and when they connect. Otherwise, every user would need their own IP address, whether connected or not.

Most likely they will have some sort of database to log the "reference" numbers when you log on to view the pictures which might trigger the "we've got potential bait" alarm.

Just ignore it, if they wanted to use the photo as evidence in any court case them they would have to give you a copy of it.

Just ignore them. They are, once again, trying to impersonate genuine authorities.

They won't go to court, as you have worked out for yourself, you could have parked across three spaces and the losses would have been zero in an empty car park.

If you want to see some pretty pictures of your BAAAAD car, get a camera and take them yourself.
