Private Parking Tickets; An Alternative View

The process is, you go to court, win a case, the other party refuses to settle the judgement, and then you apply for a court warrant for a bailiff to execute.

You'd remember that, surely?

What is it that you don't understand? I do not deal with the admin. I am not the PPC, or their solicitors.

As I keep saying, you can't not notice the signs...if you can't see them then you shouldn't be driving. After a ticket is not paid and 4 or more warning letters are issued the PPC gets their solicitors involved. I think the solicitors write a couple of times and if this is ignored they pass it to bailiffs. I only knew of the situation at this point and my friend's son had not told his dad about the situation before the bailiffs turned up. I tried to persuade the PPC to drop it but as they explained to me, it was out of their hands. Whatever cynical spin you may wish to put on this I am just telling you what happened.

You know I believed you up to this post.

But you are the occupier of the space, no? For a trespass case in court YOU would have to bring it, you can't use a third party agent like a PPC.

Can I ask a question, was the barrier that was destroyed put up by the landowners or a previous PPC?

Do you find that you often interpret situations incorrectly? Of course we have access to the account - how else could we list the tickets that we issue?

Err, why, would you as the resident, have access to the account that the PPC would use to collect these invoices? Also, YOU issue tickets? If you are as you claim you are, just a resident, why do you issue tickets and not the PPC? Why are you using a PPC at all or are you as claimed, the PPC?

Something smells fishy here.

The barrier was put up by the leasehold management company. However (and this is where it gets complicated) one of the main problems was the fact that one of the local businesses that was renting 2 spaces was regularly parking 10 or more cars in the area/ double parking etc. Their contract was then terminated by the management company but they continued to use them after that. They then got into a situation by continuing to use the spaces the new business was renting. The new business then changed the padlocks on the barrier, removed all their cars then filmed the old business people breaking the locks to get their cars out.....yes,criminal damage.

I suggest you check out how these situations work with self ticketing PPCs - I have stated my case as straightforwardly as I can.

Same thoughts occured to me on reading the OP. Sample quotes:-

I live on a main road and pay for a private parking space behind the shopping area, outside the flat I own.

There are around fifteen parking spaces which are leased from the leaseholder’s management company by local businesses and residents.

well, looking at our account over the last three years

What do they mean 'our account'? Is the OP a resident, the leasehold management company, or the PPC?

So why the need to involve a greedy PPC then, as the criminals who broke the barrier should have been made to pay for the damage.

Also do the managemnt company own the land, if not then your tickets have no legal standing as the Landowners do not suffer any losses.

If someone came on here and parked in your car park and recieved a ticket, the advice would be to ignore. Even though morally people should not cark in the allocated places for residents like yourselves.

And you the residents are being greedy for employing a PPC to make money to offset the £1000 you have to pay for parking.

The managemnt company must be laughing there heads off as they get money off yourselves and probalby a nice cut from the PPC.
