UKPC - Private Residental Land

IMHO it's demised.

I am not a lawyer (yet)

There is a proviso that states:

"The Management Comapny may impose/amend such regulations as it sees fit in line with good estate management (but so that any such regulations do not conflict with this lease)."

Even if that allowed the management company to impose some kind of parking regime, I would contend that hiring a disreputable PPC (they are ALL disreputable) and allowing said PPC to make money out of scamming the residents is a very long way from good estate management.

If I choose to do nothing

I would strongly advise you not to do nothing, UKPC have what they call an online 'appeal' section so an online/email response should be easy and cost you nothing.

Hi

Thanks to all for the replies, I'm think the course of action should be to initially appeal based on my leasehold as above.

There are a few other points I'd considered:

£60 seems excessive, particularly as there are no costs to either management company or UKPC (warden would have been calling anyway)

• Unfair on residents as they are parked there longer (e.g. all day) whilst "culprits" only park a for an hour or two to visit shops = more chance of residents being caught

• UKPC consider this an agreed contract by virtue of parking, yet i have little choice = not enforcable contract

Any thoughts, am I over thinking this?

Thanks again
Neil

Something like this
Dear UKPC...
On the <date> one of your employees placed a parking charge notice <charge notice number/ref> upon my vehicle <REG number> whaich was parked in my own private space.
This space is included in my leasehold, which mentions nothing about permits being displayed, and for your information I shall no longer be displaying a permit to park in a space to which i am lawfully entitled to.

As such you must now cancel any demands for money, and Issue me with a full apology as well as assurances that you will not place any notice upon my vehicle again.

Add the bold bit?

And also add:

For the avoidance of any doubt, I will follow precisely and robustly the procedure recently adopted by Mr Roger L Davey.

You might also like to give them Mr Davey's title.

I'm sure they will remember Mr D, with or without!

neil.net

Out of interest, is there a particular case for Mr Davey?


Also, in regards to the appeal is it best to use their online facility or write a recorded letter? The reason I'm wondering is that I've read a few points on here and another forum that suggests if I enter into an appeal it's like agreeing to the rules but asking to be let off for some reason.


Thanks
