Parking Fine from UKCPS

Hi All!

I just wondered if someone could offer me some advice.

I got a carparking fine from UKCPS in Sheffield at Centertainment. Everyone who was going to the event at Sheffield Arena parked in this carpark. My reading about the car park there apparently are signs but we could not see any!

When we returned to our car we had a car parking ticket for leaving the area. For what i could see no one else has got parking fines but yet the whole car park was from people at the arena.

Ive done some research on the company and quite a few people had said they are a bit "dodgy"

Has anyone else had any dealings with this company?

Thanks! :):):) x

    If you do a search on here you will find plenty of info re UKCPS.

    Have a good read.

    And it is not a "fine" its an invoice.

    Google 'UKCPS address the factual issues' to find CURRENT advice on UKCPS fake PCNs. You wil learn what letters you will receive and how to appeal, how to get a POPLA code. BUT you appeal when you get the first letter in the post ONLY.

    Always ignore an actual windscreen fake PCN at first, wait for the Notice to Keeper (or whatever UKCPS call their stupid first letter). Unless it's a company car where you are not the keeper at the DVLA. The first letter will not arrive for six weeks or so.

    Anyway, do the Google search I suggested and spend a bit of time just reading current threads.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
