    Sorry to be nit-picking here but that paragraph has nothing to do with appeals it just reiterates POFA that the keeper may conditionally be pursued for unpaid parking charges if the don't respond to an NTK.

    This is the nearest that the CoP gets to defining what timescale should be allowed for appealing but it's not a must.



    Clearly UKCPS are twisting the CoP to suit their own ends but there is nothing in the CoP that forbids this as it's all fantasy rules made up by the PPCs to suit themselves. To quote Captain Barbossa in 'Pirates of the Caribbean' - "the code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules."

    Yes you are nit-picking. By any reading of the CoP (and by any standard of natural justice) Hasbeen is taking the p|ss.

    Sorry, been away for a couple of days on business.

    However, you have received excellent advice from the guys, so follow it. The PPC is trying it on.

    If bazster gives you one of his "to the point" responses to the scammers, then it will probably be a beauty! Use it. :D

    Yeah, it was one of those!

    Can you please create your own unique thread, hijacking others confuses the issue - thanks

    Hi all!
    Im back again !! Yes with yet another letter back from UKCPS!
    It reads as follows

    Thank you for your appeal regarding the above parking notice charge.

    The location where the vehicle was parked is private land for use of permit holders and or Pay and Display use only. All vehicles must be displaying a valid parking permit or Pay and Display ticket clearly in the windscreen so the warden can check that it is in date and valid. Prior to leaving the vehicle it is the responsibility of the motorist to ensure the Permit or Ticket is clearly on display and not dislodged. By parking the vehicle without clearly displaying a permit or Pay and Display ticket contractually agrees to pay a parking charge of £100 (reduced to £60 for early settlement if paid with 14 days of original ticket issue), which remains unpaid. Whilst we sympathise with your situation, you were correctly used with a parking charge. The charge will remain on hold for a further 14 days from the date of this letter.

    UKCPS can only address the factual issues of where and how you parked. We will not enter into discussions about the legality of parking on private land or of the landowners right to impose parking conditions on their property. We have considered everything stated in your correspondence but it does not contain grounds to uphold your appeal. if you wish to make further representation, with additional evidence, please provide this within seven days of this letter. Second appeals must contain additional reasons not contained within your initial representation which you wish us to consider. You may also appeal to an independent assessor through POPLA details of which will be sent at the appropriate time if requested.

    UKCPS ltd provide national car parking solutions. We are DVLA and Data Protection registered, SIA approved and members of the British Parking Association.

    Regards

    As written 10 minutes ago for another UKCPS thread

    Dear PPC,


    Without Predudice

    I see that you need a simpler appeal. It is my belief that your signs are not compliant with the BPA COP. You believe they are. I need POPLA to adjudicate on that point and any others I can dig up in the meantime.

    Send me the POPLA Code.

    Yours
  • Don't pay it! As far as I'm aware it's not enforceable in law, but I'd get advice on that.
    I got a letter containing a photograph of my car entering and exiting a Lidl car park with a demand for a £90 over parking charge. Upon checking the photograph the registration plate on the front of my car was yellow and was clearly a doctored photo of my rear number plate. Upon e-mailing the company pointing out that they had clearly doctored the respective photograph, and as such I would be seeking legal advice as regards their attempt to extort money illegally from me, they promptly dropped the charge!
    So I'd go through the letter and even revisit the site to see if they've made any errors.
    I've also heard that these firms don't take anybody to court because it would cost them more than the actual fine, but again I'd check on that.

    Are you the same poster as this person linked below? Same old stuff, typing out a template letter rather than just Googling it. HINT: the words 'UKCPS factual issues' was all you needed to search to read what to do:

    Sorry to be flippant, I am finding it hard to catch up with giving advice after my holiday (and have serious family issue as well stopping me from replying to pm's right now, haven't the time).

    Read other UKPCS threads and read other POPLA threads, be ready.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
