UKPC Not responding

Dappleyard

Hi hoping you can all offer me a bit of advice here.

I got a parking ticket on the 21st August 2014 from UKPC for parking slightly outside of the white lines in my works car park .

I had arrived that day really early and there's virtually no lighting in that bloody multistory.

Anyway on the advice of the forum I waited until they sent me the first letter and then responsed using the template on the forum

Dear Sirs

Re: PCN No ________________________
I refer to the above notice which I challenge, not as driver but as keeper of the car, on the following grounds:

a). The sum sought does not represent a genuine pre-estimate of any loss and yet it is intended as a deterrent, so the charge is a penalty.
b). The signage on site is deficient, the wording unclear and it fails to comply with the Code of Practice.
c). In the absence of any evidence it is my case that you lack any or sufficient proprietary interest in the land.
d). Your notice was deficient and fails to comply with Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.

This is my formal representation. There will be no admissions as to who was driving that day and no assumptions should be drawn in the absence of evidence. I have decided to appeal this as keeper and as such, you must either rely on the POFA 2012 or you must cancel the charge if you know you cannot claim keeper liability in this case. Please uphold this challenge or send a rejection letter, so I can escalate this matter to the independent appeal service offered by your Trade Body.

Furthermore I will now be complaining to your client about this ridiculous so-called 'parking charge' and about your whole set-up which does nothing to drive up standards in the parking industry, nor pays any regard to your client's purported customer service ethic. This is not an example of parking management, this is a covert practice which, to any reasonable person, might appear to be a business model akin to a protection racket on site. Your clients will be informed of our disgust at your entire business approach and your unwarranted threats. Despite your reliance upon impersonating 'PCNs' I am aware that you are no parking Authority, merely one of many from an industry known to make their profits by farming car parks and routinely emptying the pockets of customers of legitimate businesses. As I am sure you can tell, I am incensed by this harassment. I am also extremely annoyed at the state at which this car park is in. The markings and lines are faded and barely visible especially with the lack of lighting within the car park and dark mornings. Your company is a disgrace and I shall be making this clean to your client (my employers)

Yours faithfully

However I was unable to send the angry letter to their employers as I'm not sure if my company just rents the building and if so who is paying them.

Today I recieved a dept collectors letter from DRP (what a surprise they use the same logo style...) and so far have got no response from UKPC. I sent my letter to them about 2 weeks ago now.

Where do I go from here?

Cheers,
Dapple

So you write (or email) again to UKPC, attaching a copy of your original appeal, and tell them they are in breach of the BPA code of practice by ignoring your original appeal. (I hope you sent it and retained proof of postage if you wrote?) You ignore DRP completely, OR you respond to them that the debt is denied and they must return this to their client - any further communication will be treated as harassment and may be pursued accordingly through the courts.

You also email BPA to complain that one of their members is not adhering to the CoP.
