    Woo! maybe getting somehwere.

    After an angry letter to the council, parking divisions, and another one to jon I have got this reply.

    Hello Mr ...

    Can you supply me with the ticket details –notice number/car reg number/date of ticket. I will then discuss this with CMS.

    Regards

    Ahhh so guess I won, got this reply


    Hello Mr...
    !
    I have just had discussions with CMS. They did say that they have now taken their business away from Roxburghe and in this case they agree to cancel your parking ticket. I therefore confirm that you do not need to pay anything.

    !

    Please do not use the car park at any time in the future as I will not be able to repeat a cancellation.

    !

    Can't say im ecstatic with the result, was hoping my heavy complaining of cms and their services, would have meant they would not patrol that council car park anymore. May still chase it up depending on the rest of the responses I get from the council. In the mean time I just hope anyone else who gets a ticket from them comes here for advice!
    Many thanks to all of you that helped

    Your information about that NTK has been useful because we can show people that CMS issue non-compliant Notices.

    I tell you what would be fun now, reply to 'Jon' and tell him that he has been supporting a random firm who are no longer part of the BPA approved operators scheme and have gone into voluntary liquidation on the 7th November! And yet the Council still have them infesting the car parks even though they are now wholly unregulated and can't even get DVLA data now?!

    Yeh, so I did follow up the complaints, with more emails to Jon about CMS and their practices, and an angry letter to the council head office and success! CMS signs are down!
    This little victory made all those hours spent worrying about it worth it!

    Well done! CMS signs down, that's what we like to hear.

    Wonder who the Council Properties Dept will get into bed with next?

    Sometimes better the devil you know........ :eek:
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    It can't be unless they set up a whole Parking Places Order for that site. They won't. If they have been contracting it out to a PPC before they will do the same again.
