disabled parking at retail park

Coupon-mad

Go for the sort of complaint that caryl2506 sent to a Retail Park, copy this version as described in this thread (this strong email worked in 48 hours flat!):

Seek out with an online search, who runs/manages that retail park - newpaper articles should be easiliy findable talking about when the retail park was built or improved or whatever - and it will name the firm in charge there. Send a very strong letter to them and a copy to the PPC.

Also, that rejection letter from the PPC, does it include a POPLA code and appeal paperwork? Use it. Read up about POPLA on other threads on this forum.

Win your POPLA appeal like trubster did - again, similar circumstances to your own, with no current Blue Badge displayed but a note on the dashboard and a disabled VRM on show, which was the indicator that a disabled person was using the car (perfectly reasonable):

In your case, placing your old Blue Badge there is a perfectly reasonable thing to do and is an indicator of your need to park there. The BB scheme doesn't even apply on private land like retail car parks anyway. You don't actually have to prove your need at all, in law.

This is a serious disability breach so read the threads linked carefully and you will get the picture of how serious this is for the retail park. GET ANGRY about this harassment of a disabled person (you) who is legally entitled to use a provision of a disabled bay UNHARASSED by a third party scam company who think the Blue Badge scheme is the easiest way to 'police' disabled bays. It may well be the 'easiest' way for them to make money but it is discriminatory and completely and utterly the wrong approach - but they are ALL at it!

I've just joined the forum and although signed in there's no option for me to start a new post. Apologies for that, but I was about to post re a similar problem. I parked at Cheshire Oaks to go to the cinema at 8.30pm this week. There was a PCN from ukcps on the car which we discovered the following day, it had been issued at 21.45. As I had an ankle injury we parked close to the cinema and didn't notice we were in a disabled space as none of the surrounding cars were displaying badges. We would not normally park in a disabled space, so apologies for that also. I emailed the compay this morning to appeal and had a standard email bounce back telling me to write in. Having now researched these tickets I'm wondering whether we should actually pay at all?

I was given one of these permits at Cheshire Oaks for parking with my car wheel on the edge of a white line bordering a parking space. The person who applied the ticked to the car must have watched me park because I was not away from the car for long. I have paid the fine to prevent further hassle in the knowledge that if I held out, after allot of unpleasant interactions I probably could have avoided paying. HOWEVER I will never return to Cheshire Oaks because I blame the owners of this retail park for employing UKCPS. This is all I feel I can do.

You paid it?

Do you send money to Nigeria by Western Union when you get phishing emails too?

If there were no weak people paying up like sheep then there would be no PPCs. Backbone anyone? Scam anyone? Did you not even BOTHER to tell Cheshire Oaks why they have lost your business and to complain about their agent, to get your money refunded? What's the point of a boycott if you don't tell the retail park owner/managing agent?!

Put it on the Cheshire Oaks facebook page as a rant (if they have a page). You'd be surprised what a complaint can achieve. NEXT TIME DON'T PAY A SCAMMER.
