CCS car parking fine

thatgirlwho

Today I received a car parking fine from a CCS company. I left my car unattended for 2-3 minutes whilst I got some change for a ticket.

By the time I had got back to my car with the ticket I had purchased I already had a ticket for £85, reduced to £65 with 7 days.

My questions are:

This was on private property, so is it even legal to issue a fine?

Is it worth appealing?

Can I just ignore this?

Safe to say, lesson learned. Back to only parking on council car parks and making sure I have change!

It is not a fine.

Read the main sticky at the top of the forum.

If this is in England / Wales then yes you should appeal. Depending on whether you own the car determines if you appeal now or wait for the Notice to Keeper but the stickies will explain all.

Immediate fail.

An interesting 23.5% discount ... :-)

OP - which company (exact name) did you get the "ticket" from? A CCS as Commercial Collection Services Ltd appear on the BPA list but they are debt collectors. I cannot see CCS Parking there and I can't see them on the IPC list either.

Is it actually from PPS (using CCS as the debt collector pen-pusher) like here?

I'm wondering if it is these people;

They have an option of paying £65 or £85 as per the OP's initial post. If it is them, I think we are on ignore territory as I cannot see them on the BPA or IPC list.

Yes this is the company I got the ticket from.

Do they have no right to ticket if they aren't on the BPA/IPC list?

Thanks for all the help so far.

They can "ticket" you but they cannot obtain your details from the DVLA if they are not a member of either so in theory you should never hear from them again.

I would suggest you sit tight and wait to see if you get anything through the post from them. If you do receive anything, the forum will help you complain to the correct people.

Edit: OP are you the registered keeper of the car?

thatgirlwho

Yes I am the registered keeper. I have just moved house though and am waiting for my log book to be sent back to me as obviously I've changed the address on that.

AoD

OK that's great.

In that case, just wait to see if you hear anything. They shouldn't be able to get your details from the DVLA so if they do, and they send you something in the mail, post back here and you will get advice as to what the next step is.

Re the house move, have you also arranged for a mail redirect at the Post Office?

Coupon-mad

You will never hear anything, not from a non-AOS member. They'd have to be an AOS member of the BPA or IPC and to check, you could email those organisations or simply email this addy at the DVLA to check 'it looks as though this PCN is from a non-AOS member so please confirm - can this lot get my data?'
