please read the sticky thread, you will be paying them nothing

dont get upset there are far worse things in life to get upset about than parking companies.

Thank you, your compassion is gratefully received The thing is it's not the parking company, it's the institution I work for who have issued it & refused to waive it that makes me sad
Self issuing is just a nasty money grabbing system, no company should be involved in

Anyway the up shot is I received a parking charge notice, for £60/£100/

and who is it saying this £60/£100 charge should be paid to?
The truth is you will be paying Zero, however the advice may vary depending on who has issued the illegitimate charge

Norfolk traffic control-it appears in the case of self issuing tickets the car park owners issue the ticket & then send the duplicate copy to the enforcement agency (Norfolk Traffic Control) for them to enforce/follow up. When the fine is paid the car park owners receive a commission payment.

That's nasty! They don't even have to patrol the car parks!

I'm in the wrong job I think.

just read the NEWBIES sticky thread and the popla appeal examples to see the LEGAL REASONS (not mitigation) that mean you can challenge this invoice , and win

it is correct that mitigation wont win, but for them to win they have to be legally above board, which none of them are , its all a sc@m to part you from your cash by breaking petty rules with extortionate charges for doing so

fight back and lose the guilt complex (victim complex) - its waht everybody replying to your posts has had to do , you are one of thousands to go through this, beat them and learn from it, like we all did

at the end of the day, stop worrying, its only a civil parking invoice, not operation yew tree knocking on your door !!

Is it Norwich Traffic Control Ltd?

Yes that's the one!

OK, so they're in the IPC, which makes the appeal a little trickier - all IPC members just automatically reject appeals (to my knowledge) as their industry body 'independent' (and by 'independent' I mean 'not independent at all') appeals service is just a sham, and also reject all appeals regardless.

Therefore your appeal should cover all the legal aspects of why the charge is unenforceable, and is merely an exercise in giving you a paper trail of a sham appeals process which you can produce in court should NTC be stupid enough to try a court claim later. Which, in my opinion, is highly unlikely.

Start by getting that 'we do it to make an example' thing in writing off the department that runs the car park. That's a huge bullet to put in your gun.
