Hello, Im looking for some advise.
Im a self employed Courier/Man and Van. On the 4/5/2013 I was delivering some boxes to a shop it had no loading bay so I parked in the car park. My van is quite long so I always park across two bays so my van is not overhanging and causing an obstruction to other users.
The part of the car park I parked in was not busy, I was only away 10mins max, when I returned UKPC had ticketed me.

The reason for the ticket. Not parked correctly within the markings of the bay or space.

I have had my second letter now with a pic included of my van parked across two bays.

Im a member of a transport forum and on there they are telling me to ignore all letters and put in the bin.
I just don't now what to do, any info would be appreciated.
Thanks Kenny

    Stick with the advice you've already been given, just ignore the letters. eventually they will give up and stop as they are unenforceable charges. If you check out the transport section of this forum you will find loads of people with the same problem and the advice is always the same.

    As long as it wasn't a local authority carpark, then you would have to pay.

    Ask a board guide to move this to the Parking Tickets, Fines & Parking where more knowledgeable people hang out...
