UKPC Parking Notice (Not once but twice)

Options
Hello,

I happened to visit my relatives in Bromley who live in a gated compound consisting of blocks of flats. The parking is controlled by UKPC in there. When I visited them first time to stay overnight, they had me park in front of their building and told me they have the parking space, but next day I got the ticket from UKPC, which I ignored until now and the fine has gone to £90.

I had to visit the same people a second time over christmas and this time they gave me a visitor parking badge to display in my car. Ironically I had another ticket issued from UKPC which I thought was ridiculous as I had displayed the badge. However, both my host and myself realized a short while later that visitor parking was seperate.

My host does have a Parking badge to park in those slots, but they don't have a car yet. I have asked them to get the second notice sorted out, but as the registered owner of the car, the onus is on me, if they don't do anything.

Also I can't find this newbie thread people are talking about? Can someone please advise me the best course of action.

    You can't find the sticky thread at the top of the main Parking forum (where you went to create this thread) with the word NEWBIES in it? Really?

    You can find the NEWBIES thread, in capitals begging newbies to 'READ THIS FIRST!' - currently 2nd to top of page one of this sub-forum! If you aren't used to hopping around forums, use the FORUM JUMP on the right of this page now, and click 'GO'.

    I always refuse to link a thread that's at the top of the forum, that doesn't help any forum newbie find their way around! You'll thank us for it, once you realise how easy it is to read various threads and always find your way back using FORUM JUMP. You can also always find your own thread again by clicking on your own username and 'show threads' or 'show posts by ammark'.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
