UKCPS PCN in a residents car park, with warning signs and I am not a resident.

BloggerD

Hi all

I have had a read through the Newbies parking ticket help and am just after a few more pointers.

So I have received x2 UKCPS parking tickets whilst my car was parked in a car park belonging to a residential area of which I used to live. The car park is only ever a third full and after previously agreeing with the concierge (that has now left) I was allowed to leave my car in an un-used parking bay despite not having a permit and no longer living there.

There are several warning signs around the car park that UKCPS may issue a ticket for those not displaying a permit etc. Now I know that I don't have a permit and that permit holders have to pay for this via the landlord. Am I in any position to appeal this, or is it just simply a case of having to pay the x2 £60 tickets as I don't have a permit via the landlord?

Thanks in advance.
The registered keeper!

Yes you can appeal it, just read the NEWBIES thread.

That's ok i'm looking everything i can find, the only part that concerns me is that when I've read a lot of people have parked in their own space, however the permit has fallen on the floor or is out of sight, they can fall back on the fact they are parked in their own space. I don't have any contract with a landlord that states i can park there, just the word of a former employee (concierge).

Even though UKCPS won't have suffered any losses, can the landlord get involved and then claim losses from me for parking there?

Just read the Newbies thread and do what it says. UKCPS usually fold when they see the first appeal. The landlord will not get involved, UKCPS will not even tell them about this.

So wait for the NtK to come in the post then use the appeal template that is already written in the newbie guide.

Is it a case of once the 14 day reduced 'fine' has gone by there is no going back and if the appeal is rejected they will stick at the full £100 charge?

It will not "stick" at £100 because if you do as suggested the charge will be £0.00
