Parking Ticket
Comments
-
I had a similar ticket - residential parking in the middle of Nottingham.
I believe everything these guys have advised are right. I have credit checked CMS LIMITED. Trading, or was trading as COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT SERVICE LIMITED. Are now insolvent, which is probably a reason why they left the BPA - which also means you will probably never receive any further correspondence from them as they cannot access the car owners details via the DVLA.
I got my ticket 30 days ago now - Still not received anything from them and I don't expect I will either!
problem solved.

CMS UK Ltd and Comprehensive Management Services Ltd are two different companies ,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.

Hi, I have just received a PCN from Comprehensive Management Services Limited for parking on a retail car park which is joined to my gym. There was no space on the gym carpark so I used the retail carpark for shopping before moving on to the gym. From getting out my car, shopping, attending a gym class and returning to my car I was away for 1hr 10mins!
The notices on the carpark say you cannot park for over 2hrs and you cannot park if watching the football (stadium nearby), neither of these rules I broke.
It is a charge of £100 (£60 if paid within 14 days) so what should I do? There is no way I am paying this!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!0 -

Hi there,
I live in a similar residential flat with private parking. I have a parking permit witch slipped under the windscreen and got ticketed again from CM Services Ltd (Parking Charge Notice).
Appeal or not?
Checked the List of Approved Operators BPA and CMS are not there.
Checked the IPC website, and CMS are there.
Cheers,
MI live in some residential flats which has a private car park. Each flat has its own parking bay and a permit which has to be displayed when parking in the bay. The permit is linked to the flat, not to one particular vehicle.
My car is parked there every week, displaying the permit. And I've never had a problem. Except this week, my car was cleaned and I took down the sticker (which holds the permit) to clean the windscreen and without realising, when I put the permit back up, it wasn't facing outwards. The inside of the sticker is semi transparent, so you wouldn't really be able to see the permit without really looking.
For this small error, on Saturday I got hit with a parking ticket for £100 (or £60 if I pay within 14 days) from CM Services Ltd who have issued a Parking Charge Notice, 'on behalf of the landowner'.
Now I can appeal, but I'm pretty sure they're going to come back and just say, the permit wasn't properly displayed, even though it was there just unfortunately the wrong way round. The smallest amount of logic from the attendant would have deduced this and a note on the windscreen would have sorted it out! But of course that would mean being a good natured human being.
Anyway, if I appeal, according to the notes on the back of the ticket, it 'does not alter the discounted period' so I'll be an extra £40 down should I be unsuccessful as it can take up to 35 days to respond to the appeal.
I've read through the forums, but am still not sure what to do as there were signs up warning a permit needed to be displayed. Not sure whether to take the hit and put it down to experience. I can't imagine them being compassionate based on a mistake from human error, pretty sure they'll just try and bounce me to the POPLA.
Any advice people could give would be really useful.0 -

We know - this has been discussed more recently. Hardly surprising things have changed when this thread you posted on is ancient! Don't even bother to read a 2013 thread, use the Forum Jump to get to page one instead.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I received parking ticket after parking on Robin Retail park in Wigan when my 7 year old daughter needed the toilet as we pulled in to park to go shopping. As there are no toilet facilities on site, we went across to Asda then came straight back, by which time I had received a parking ticket. I was so annoyed because my intention was to go shopping but I got straight back into the car and drove away. I think this is disgraceful as there were loads of Parking places. I intend to write to the retail park manager and the shops I usually visit to let them know I will no longer be shopping at that site.0

Do you need some help to fight this ticket, on top of making your complaint to the retail park? If so, please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky near the top of the forum index (one page back from this one) as it contains everything you need to help you.
However, if you need any further help, would you please open a new thread of your own, so we can keep everything about your case in one place.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.
