Successful complaints about private parking tickets - how to get them cancelled!

The Gov were certainly hoodwinked in relation to POFA Schedule 4 and the impact on courts.

Yep, and they know. 

Believe me, they know.

After recently receiving a LoC, I'd like to write a landowner complaint regarding my own PCN, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I searched the Land Registry for the owners details and a Google search shows it is the owner of a business that is completely unrelated to the car park in question (which is just a fenced off plot of land). All of the advice on here seems to be related to retailers etc. Any advice?

Well I would email a complaint to the company that is completely unrelated to the car park, if Google suggests they own the land.  It's very common to have absentee landlords and freeholders who own land all over the country.

Searching LR is different from paying £3.50 to get the title documents.  The title documents will show who owns it if the land is 'registered title'.

@Th1nDiesel, you have now made ten posts on several threads about your incident.

Are you planning on starting your own thread any time soon?

I thought the general advice was only to start a new thread once once you really need it i.e. when it gets to the court stage. I'm not there yet, but I'm fully expecting it to get that far based on the latest email I had from DCB Legal. I'm happy to start a thread now if you think it will help.

It's a small company selling second hand car parts. It doesn't seem to have a website, let alone an email address. I'll probably have to send it snail mail to the address on the Land Registry records (I did pay the £3)

Yes, the general advice is to start your own thread when you've read the NEWBIE sticky (and other posts) and if you still have a specific question.  The general advice is NOT to pepper random threads with questions.  This detracts from other poster's threads and their advice, confuses matters and make the contributors' work harder.  Please start your thread and gather all the questions from the other threads and place them in your new one, then you will receive bespoke advice.

Thank you; I'll do that instead.

I did notice on Turnip's thread that the contract with the landowner and the PPC (Excel/VCS) allows the client to cancel up to five PCN's per month and then subject to the PPC's discretion at £10.00 per PCN. I don't see much evidence of Excel/VCS cancelling claims .

When the landowners sign up for parking management its a bit like the Hotel California, "you can check out any time you like but you can never leave".  Once they have that monkey on their back they are stuck with it.
