what can they do to me in that situation?

Absolutely nothing.

That's not to say they won't try though. They will send you a series of letters designed to scare you into paying by 'threatening' court action and mentioning CCJs and 'credit rating', but they are just empty threats that you can happily ignore.

Have a read around this forum and every single topic is exactly the same as yours!

It says as well " for contraventions on or after 1st october 2012 we do have the right to recovery from the Registred Keeper of the vehicle"

Strictly speaking, they are utterly incorrect. Are you being accused of "parking" (where not allowed)? I don't think so. It was stopping (presumably to pick up or drop off passengers). That is not parking, so they shouldn't be issuing a "parking" charge.

All of which means that the POFA does not apply.

In any case, they don't have any "right" to pursue the registered keeper unless they have jumped through a whole load of hoops first.

i stopped on the road, not on the parking. What about "No stopping/Waiting in estricted Areas or Roadways"

If it was Restricted roadway, do they have right?

It depends on who "they" are and under what staturory authority they used to issue the fine/penalty.

As we are talking about a private company sub contracted to another private company, on private land/roads no such authority exists.
Send a letter to the airport asking them to stop their agents VCS), (for whos actions they are responsable for ) to stop sending you threatening letters as they constitute harrasement

Should you complain to the airport when the client is Peel ?

"The double yellow line (no stopping / parking) enforcement on all airport access roads have been instigated and are managed by Peel Holdings, who actually own the estate roads and the business park.
There is a mobile camera unit in operation - if you are illegally parked you will face a fine.
All management / enforcement is therefore nothing to do with the airport company."

They are all the same company. From Wiki:-

The airport is operated by Peel Airports, a division of The Peel Group

It's not a FINE and, as no criminal laws have been broken, then no illegal activity has taken place.

Illegally parked ? Fines ? Can you tell me what statute law covers this ? Could you tell me what authority does a private company has to issue fines ? And it's everything to do with the airport as well as peel because peel would be the agents of the airport and the actions of who they employ are their responsibility. If peel are the landlords the same principles apply

This is the answer from airport, about my complain....


"Please be aware that the Airport is not associated with the company who monitor parking on the highways surrounding the Airport complex. Vehicle Control Services, in conjunction with ANPR International, operate on behalf of Peel Investments North Ltd who are the private owners of the access roads surrounding the airport and the business Park.

In June 2011, the airport was purchased by the Vantage Airport Group and as such, the airport itself has no jurisdiction on these roads and therefore cannot waiver any penalty notices.
I would recommend that you forward your concerns to Excel Parking direct on Excel Parking"

The last time VCS attempted to "enforce" a parking charge they got spanked. Just google vcs v ibbotson.
They don't own the road, so they cannot offer you a contract.
Once you realise it's all bluff, you can relax and laugh at them.
