    One thing that will help in the future is the wording of the lease agreement with regards to parking spaces.

    As fir the POPLA challenge one of the key points is not a genuine pre estimate of loss, but this will need expanding upon, as a handful of challenges have been turned down after not providing enough information.


    also this case will be of interest where a private car parking company was taken to court as a result of ticketing someones vehicle that was parked in that persons space http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?377246-UKPC-liable-for-trespass-**SUCCESS**

    If everything is clear regarding the lease, ask yourself this: why are you displaying a permit to give yourself permission to park in your own space??
    Stuff the permit, and if they are taking photos of your tax disc/number plate you could just cover them up ( if you want)

    I'm trying to upload the Windscreen pic...can anyone advise what I'm doing wrong? I know as a Newbie I cannot post a link so thought I was following correct procedure as per Stroma's early post.

    Many thanks

    Using the previous link as an example, post your new link like this:

    ://i60.tinypic.com/2drv4if.jpg

    :mad: It's almost worth paying the fine if I cannot post the photo link... I cannot post the photo. I must be a total simpleton

    To be honest I think you have a legal case for harassment.

  • The photo is fine:

    however - just clarify where the permit is exactly - is it under the tax disc, the circular one above the tax disc, the oblong underneath the windscreen wiper (passenger side) or the blur by the driver's side.

    As I said don't get hung up about the permit issue - what is more important is a photograph of the signage please.
