    Why would you have to deal with bailiffs?


    Oh yeah! ..... Because they told you that you would?


    The most you might have to face is debt collector letters ... But they have as much power as I do over this.


    Do you think it's fair that they should get £60 for ten minutes of your time?

    @ breadlover - there are plenty of templates of appeals to PPC's in the Newbies thread. Remember the objective is to get it rejected so that you can concentrate your efforts on the POPLA appeal.

    As for blocking you in did you ask the person concerned to move and if so what was his reply?
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com
  • I did ask him to move, he didn't reply at all just finished taking photos and then got in his car and backed out. Completely in silence. Took about 3 minutes so wasn't ridiculously long. Some of his photos will show the car trying to back out...it will be interesting.
  • No it wont be interesting at all.
    What happened on the day is completely irrelevant. So the photos don't matter

    Any advice on wording helphelphelphelp? How far did your process go? Just wanting to know really so I'm fully prepared. Have never had to deal with bailiffs and the like. Thanks again.

    The wording for the 1st appeal to UKPS is already done for you in the NEWBIES sticky thread - 1st appeal template letter.

    Just wait for the NtK (which should arrive between 29 - 56 days after the alleged event) and send the appeal template letter off (if posting get free cert. of posting from P.O.).

    If you also want to be ahead of the game and research appropriate wording for the 2nd stage appeal to POPLA in advance then see NEWBIES thread post #3 for how to win at POPLA examples.

    It may if OP reports him to the police for obstruction and threatening behaviour, pointing out how frightened your children were etc.

    Might deter him from being such a phallus in future.

  • Breadlover - I received a letter from UKPS saying my appeal had been cancelled. We didnt even get to the POPLA stage. My case was different to yours in that we were working for a tenant of the landlord and therefore had been invited onto the land, hence the tort of trespass was not applicable. Also the date of the so called parking violated on the notice was different to that on their photographic evidence which I also used to challenge them. I can send you a copy of my letter if you would like to use some of the other challenges I used

    Quite different then helphelphelphelp but looking at your other arguments might help if you don't mind. I would love to get it cancelled before the POPLA stage if possible. Just want it to be all over and never park illegally again!

    Use the template appeal already written for you in the NEWBIES top sticky thread. They may well cancel at the outset when they see it.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Please get it out of your head that you did anything "illegally"! You haven't broken any laws here!
