PCN at my own flat

Nas786, does the development on which you rent a flat have a residents management company?. If so, then they will have elected directors who in turn will have appointed the management company that carries out the day-to-day running of the development.
These directors can be held equally liable for any claim for costs resulting on action arising from PPC tickets. This is the one reason why we do not have a PPC to control the parking on our site (we prefer to approach those who use it as a free car park for the rail station & explain that the parking bays are not for their use & that a number of vehicles have been broken into with no one seeing anything (they haven't, but the illegal parker doesn't know that)).
I, or course, the development is owned by a single freeholder other than a residents manco, then you could stir the muck by writing to them and informing them that you find them jointly liable in any Court claim for harassment by the PPC.
Yes it is a residents management company. I've approached them and told them I was parking in my space, but they say rules are rules and even though my permit might have fallen down, I still have to pay.
Have written to the PPC and asked them for the pics and copy of PCN that was allegedly put on my car but never was. I just want to get rid of the PPC first. I don't think the management company are interested in how the residents feel about the PPC and have no idea on where to start to get information about the freeholder or find out if they have agreed to the PPC.
I've sent my appeal letter to the PPC, am still waiting for their usual rejection WITHOUT the POPLA code. So will have to write back insisting for a POPLA code before anything else. Obviously they are not adhering to BPA CoP by not providing the POPLA code with the initial appeal so not sure if I should wait the 35 days or just write back sooner insisting for it?0 -
The chances are that the freeholder doesn't even know about this arrangement, if you really want to put the cat amongst the pigeons you could send the management company a letter before claim threatening legal action.
These people need a wake up call, and they must be made to realise that they are liable for the actions of this parking company.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

Gosh, you are hard work, haven't you done any reading for yourself?
Yes you would write back and demand a POPLA code.
You would also COMPLAIN to BPA/DVLA.I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0
