ANPR ltd Parking Notice

edited 30 January 2015 at 7:07PM in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hi everyone,

Last Friday I received a parking ticket on my windscreen while I was parked in an area 'owned' by ANPR. I was collecting my Dominos and parked in the car park next door which is an abandoned Blockbuster (RIP). Everywhere else around has double yellow lines and as there wasn't any visible signs I just parked up (like everybody else does) in the old car park. The story is long and probably irrelevant so I won't bore you with the details but I'm just looking at what to do next?

So on the PCN it says I have to pay £50 within 14 days (which of course I'm not going to do). From the threads that I've seen so far I'm really confused as what to do next... I don't know if it's classed as a big company or not?? Do I wait past the 14 days to receive a second letter or do I need to act now? What do I need to do exactly?

TLDR; I have a parking notice from ANPR that was placed on my car windscreen :mad: what do I do next?

THANK YOU!

    1. Don't panic

    2. Read the newbies thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4816822 .

    3. Follow the instructions in there.

    4. Ask Trevor Whitehouse to pass on your best regards to that nice Mr. N. Martin (Trev's imaginary friend).

    5. Come back on this thread if you have any further questions.

    6. Relax and enjoy your weekend.

    ZG.
  • Thank you :)

    I think I'm doing it right now... Using the template to send a letter.

    WHOAAAA fella, not yet.

    You must wait for the NTK in the post (29 - 56 days after the parking event). Slow down, take your time to get to understand this stuff.

    Work with us and there's no way you'll be shelling anything out to owd Trev!

    This is the village idiot of parking companies, do not pay them any money, but do not ignore them. Engage them in correspondence, ask them to explain things, appeal to Polpa, cost them money.

    Confusing Trevor, acclaimed inventor of the wheel clamp, is easier than shooting fish in a barrel.

    Wait for the notice to keeper in the post. Do not contact ANPR yet. Never ever 'phone a parking company.

    If 'Too Long Didn't Read' refers to the NEWBIES sticky and you're not prepared to put in the leg-work yourself to get rid of your problem, you don't really expect regulars here to put in that leg-work for you, do you?

    Please do let us know!

    Wardens hanging around in abandoned Blockbuster Car Parks?

    Welcome to the wonderful world of ANPR Ltd.

  • Umkomaas- no no not at all! It was a summary of my post. Thought it might be easier for other people to get a quick glance of it. I'm amazed at how much time have put into this forum to help out other people. I'm extremely grateful :) I've read and re-read the newbies sticker at least 6 or 7 times now and I think I understand. Well I thought I did :S

    Sorry for any confusion.

    No worries. We will more than help those who meet us at least half-way with doing some reading and drafting.

    Now, if you want a mirthful weekend, put Trevor Whitehouse or Trev the Clamp or National Clamps into the search engine here on MSE, the one on PePiPoo or Google.

    Now, none of these PCNs are nice to get, but if I was to get one, I'd want it from good owd Tev, so, rather perversely, you can count yourself somewhat 'honoured'.

    Enjoy this ride, it doesn't get much better in PPC world!

  • Of course! This is my problem not anyone else's. You're doing me a huge huge favour by helping me out with this.
    Since last Friday when it happened I've done a fair bit of reading and this Trevor guy seems pretty well know round these parts of the internet.

    Next is the waiting game it would seem! Once again thanks for your help.
