I have heard so many places that you do not have to pay these evil bullies. I am autistic so I find communication and standing up for myself difficult they are trying to intimidate me.:(

I sent appeal on these grounds just before xmas

"Reason for challenge
I was parked in a bay on a public council estate where I was visiting a friend, I have heard on programs like BBC watchdog that you guys can't legally make me pay you. You are basically just bunch of nasty scammers that bully and initimidate people into paying parking charges that by law we don't have to pay for making them look like they are from the council or police. You actually no legal ground to actually fine anyone so we don't have to pay.So I suggest you drop the charge because it is technically not a legal fine."

E-MAIL REPLY FROM NIGHTHAWK PARKING

"Thank you for your email, which has been passed for our attention and which we have read with interest.

Further to and in response to your appeal, P4Parking has been contracted by the landowners or agents thereof to ensure that vehicles are only allowed to be parked on the land with authority.

This authority is dependent upon the rules as laid down by the landowners or bodies acting on behalf of such estate, land or development. P4Parking has the authority to charge any vehicle that is parked contrary to these regulations.

The area where your vehicle was charged has a policy to which all attending vehicles must park within the pre-informed parking criteria. The contravention you have been breached with specifically is for:

 No Parking permit on visible display.

Parking restrictions on this location, clearly states that a valid parking permit must be clearly displayed on all parked vehicles at all times. This Location is Private Property, and the parking restrictions are enforced by P4Parking on behalf of the Land Owner.

With regards to your appeal of the parking charge issued and having inspected all data available, which includes your letter and contents of appeal, photographs taken at the time of the charge issued by the warden and all additional 3rd party information available to us, I must make the following points very clearly.

It is the responsibility of the person parking to demonstrate the correct display of the relevant permit and or adherence to the rules governing the parking of the vehicle(s) within the grounds. If in doubt, P4Parking Office operates 5 days a week.

Monday to Friday from 9:00am till 5:00pm a manned control-room whose staffs are willing and able to advice on the validity of your parking prior to any charge being issued. Patrols on the development operate 24Hrs a day, 7 day’s a week. This contact number is available on any P4Parking warning notice and is placed throughout the private grounds as well as being on all permit documents issued by and on behalf of P4Parking.

Although I sympathise with your concerns, at the time of your vehicle contravention and subsequent issuance with a Parking Charge Notice there was Permit not verifiable and was therefore correctly charged under the power given to us by the landowner.

When parking on private land, a motorist freely enters into an agreement to abide by the conditions of parking in return for permission to park. It is the motorist’s responsibility to ensure that he or she abides by any clearly displayed conditions of parking.

After careful consideration, therefore, I must advise you that your application for a PCN cancellation has been denied."

How do I get these evil people off my back because I read so many places that I don't have to pay them a penny

    Right, first things first: did they send you a PoPLA code?

    Secondly, stop worrying: we will help you get these parasites off your back. In fact I personally will help you.

    But first, the PoPLA code: have you got one?

    N.B. don't worry if you don't hear any more from me tonight, I'll be back in the morning.
    Je suis Charlie.
  • thank you bazter, I appreciate good people.
  • James in the first place edit your post with the PCN number as the parking number identifies you and the parking companies monitor these sites.

    Secondly whilst Bazster is busy tonight can you post up whatever letters you have received from the parking companies but make sure you edit all personal details,names,car registration number etc.

  • I have only have e-mail from them but no letters to my address.
  • James,

    Look back at your previous post, number 3, where you mention police/press.

    Edit your post to remove the PARKING CHARGE number - this will prevent the parking company identifying you here.
    :j
  • James don't forget to edit your second post and remove the number.

    To help what date was the ticket issued

    When did you receive the email

    Can you see if there is any mention of a POPLA code
    I Am Charlie
  • I had a yellow sticker attched to my car on the 13th Dec 2014 I sent a message of appeal with no home address or tel phone but did have e-mail.

    I just recieved e-mail today.
  • James,

    Bazster has offered to help you with this (post number 2).

    I suggest you now wait for him to post again on this thread, as he said it might not be until tomorrow, and let him guide you through the process of getting this fake parking ticket cancelled.
    :j
  • Okay Not Scammed, thanks for your help I basically nothing for a month till they replied to my e-mail today.
  • To help Bazster and save time was the yellow ticket attached to your car from a company called Nighthawk
