Ukpc parking ticket

Really?! Is the citizens advise not good advise?! Lol
No not in this area, actually their advice is from the bpa, and guess what? They are the trade body of the parking companies, and the owners of parking companies are directors. So have a guess if their advise is biasedWhen 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.

LINKY TO THE NI ADVICE GUIDE
If you ignore the ticket from a BPA parking company
If you ignore the ticket, a BPA parking company can get details of the registered keeper of the car from the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) and pursue them for payment.
TOTALLY wrong - not in NI! There is no keeper liability where you are.
Writing to a non-BPA parking company
If you get a ticket from a parking company that isn’t a BPA member, you can write to that parking company with your reasons if you think the parking ticket is unfair. As these companies are not BPA members, they can ignore your letter.
And this is ridiculous advice! Why would they advise anyone to WRITE and give away their name and address to a non-BPA member who can't even follow up a fake PCN unless some twerp appeals and hands them their address on a plate?!
:eek:
I would complain to the Citizens Advice NI about that advice being wrong because the POFA 2012 doesn't apply in NI.
Complain to the landowner or Store Manager and get them to cancel this rubbish.
Report them to the EHRC for disability discrimination.
Report them to Trading Standards and also complain about the Citizens Advice rubbish.
And complain to your MP showing him/her the useless advice on the Citizens Advice website which is WRONG and also asking him to lend his support to the NI Govt's motion about the PPC industry.
Have you seen the Watchdog video I first posted for you to chuckle at, yet?!
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Yes I watched it. Looked at all the links.

Don't worry about them, Protection of Freedoms Act doesn't apply here and that also means you can't appeal to POPLA.
But it also means that they can only "fine" the driver not the keeper.
I've been getting their letters for nearly a year now, it will follow the UKPC letter chain. Search the forum for PPC Letter Chains and look at the pre 2012 UKPC ones.
They have added a new one at the end from a firm of Manchester Solicitors but the advice in NI (and Scotland) remains the same, keep all correspondence, do not identify the driver and only react if you get a Letter Before Action or Letter Before County Court.
You won't, UKPC don't do court.0 -
Kat,
Just to back up what up CM and Cally have told you, UKPC an be ignored with impunity, I got a ticket at Cityside last January and all the usual junkmail from them but haven't heard anything for 6 months. It's all bluff and bluster to try to part you from your money. Cease all communication with UKPC, the only way to beat them is to ignore them.
Read these and come back here if you still have any doubts.

You could report them to the EHRC for disability discrimination if you want. Or your local MP and Trading Standards NI. But do read the links and have a smirk!
One of the fortunate legacies of "The Troubles" is that N.Ireland has the strictest anti-discrimination legislation in the world, and a commission dedicated to fighting discrimination. I am sure they would be very interested in pursuing your story and if necessary will provide full legal support free of charge to pursue a case.

You are in Northern Ireland so they are even more powerless than anywhere else, just ignore them unless a letter before claim arrivesWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

Errrrmmm...so? That's the normal letter chain that's been at the top of the forum for years - I assumed you'd read all the sticky info threads at the top of the forum by now but you must have missed one. You can tick off each letter against the pics that still work in the 'PPC letter chains' sticky thread old pre-POFA link is best as the pics are extensive. People have laughed at these for years and there was never any keeper liability then either.
Why not search the forum for the name of the debt collector too and spend some happy minutes realising what drivel this is. But do check out the old pre-POFA link to an MSE thread on the PPC letter chains thread and see how many YEARS worth of ignoring has gone into that letter chain.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
