Parking ticket from parking zone ltd

sophie125

Hi all,

I got a parking ticket from parking zone which isn't regulated by POPLA for £85 payable within 2 weeks or £105 within 28 days. I appealed against this because there wasn't a clear 'private land no park sign' at the entrance to the land. I actually looked out for one but did not see one. It turns out the sign is on the wall at the back just above overgrown trees. A picture of the sign was sent with the rejection letter and i have been ordered to pay within 7 days. Is there a way out?

Here's a previous thread about them

The mistake you made was to make any contact at all with them - as they are not members of an Approved Trade Association (BPA or IPC) they cannot get access to your personal details via the DVLA.

Please tell me you emailed them rather than write giving your name and address?

There's nothing you can do apart from ignore them. But they can issue court papers for up to 6 years. No one can tell you if they will or won't - chances are they won't, but who knows?

What you possibly might get are debt collector letters, which can safely be ignored.

You must NOT ignore court papers or any letter from the PPC headed 'Letter Before Action' (or similar). Come back if you get either of these.

As a minimum you need to set up a re-direct of your post to your new address. You must also notify the DVLA of your change of address (legal requirement), but this has nothing to do with this parking event - this PPC cannot get your details from the DVLA (for reasons outlined in my first post).

Rehabilitation does not seem to have worked. They claim they have excess to the DVLA on their tickets, so they either own the land or they are telling porkies. I hope Birmingham TS are keeping tabs on this company.

I got a ticket in brum phoned and asked how he was able to get my details as he is not registered with an appropriate trade association ... Silence. then I got a txt saying from dvla 'sir' I replied do dvla give out personal info to unregistered ex convicts ... Still awaiting his reply months later. Ticket is framed on my wall as a good talking point. The owner of parking zone at time has been in gaol for parking related offences
