It may have been an option, but we don't know the situation of the fake ticket.

Sorry - I don't quite understand. What would you need to know?

I'm guessing the option of going via POPLA has since past.

Just ignore the scammers, they will soon leave you alone and harass someone else

Nothing as you can't use popla now, once a dca is involved its too late. I am just responding to your question up above.

I just received a £90 fine ticket on Saturday. Ruined my bank holiday!

I parked my motorcycle for less than 5 minutes outside the shop I went to. As there were no available spaces. I parked just outside a disabled bay, to the left side on the extended yellow hashed section, attempting to cause the least impact to anyone. There was adequate space for a good sized vehicle to still park and open doors to both sides.

I did not see any signs displayed as I entered the retail car park!

Yesterday I drove to this car park to specifically look for any signs. To my amazement I could find nothing until I drove around the one way system to the exit, where I finally located two identical, quite small signs supplied by this so called parking company. It is possible to exit mid-point in this car park, without entering the one-way system section, as I did on leaving with my motorcyle, and entirley miss the Exit signage. They are attached, high up a pole to both sides of the exit road, on which the Exit sign is displayed and on the reverse, the No entry sign shows to the rear.

Am I to understand that the ticket, supplied very kindly with a pre-addresses envelope (Not per-paid postage...) is illegal and uninforceable?

Should the law of contract be in play, I was not in a position to agree any terms of contract with the land owner or the parking company as I did not see a sign and would not have unless I exeted by the specific one - way system exit?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, you do need to start your own thread please as on a parking forum (due to different dates and details and outcomes) we need 'one case, one thread'. Post here:

It's not illegal as it's just an invoice, but you won't be paying it so don't let it ruin your day!

Thanks. I posted a new thread using your link but it does not show as newest thread so unsure I have done it right?

Hi all
I just wanted to say thank you for these posts - I am in the process of ignoring letters following a parking "charge" and each time I receive a letter I shudder and want to pay. Then I read the posts on this forum and carry on ignoring. Thanks for your help

You're right to ignore.

Here's all the letters I've ignored so far:

Wow, all these letters look like a bunch of stress and sleepless nights by these awful people. They need to be stopped...
