Valley Enforcement (PPS Ltd)

Hi guys,

dropped a bit of a clanger today, parked in a small shopping centre car park policed by PPs ltd and like a plonker completely forgot to pay when I realised I pooped back and bought a ticket but when I got to my car had a Parking charge notice already on the car (Gutted) £60 if I pay in next 14 days otherwise £100 pounds.

This as you can imagine ended my shopping trip for kids shoes as quite a pricey ticket.

However I have been reading and received advice from people saying not to pay as they will send to debt collectors and then give up as rarely they go to court

any advice guys I was away from the car for about 20 mins when I realised and went back even have ticket I purchased my own fault though I know?

cheers

    Hi mate I have read this but unsure whether I have grounds for appeal as I didn't pay and display so really only option I believe is to either pay up or ignore was wondering whether anyone had encountered these and likelihood of them taking me to small claims or just paying really


    thanks in advance

    keep hold of that ticket you bought, it would prove honesty and no loss to the landowner or the PPC

    if its ever needed apart from court, only give copies , scans or photos , never the original

    now read that NEWBIES sticky thread

    nobody can tell you if the PPC may go to court in the next 6 years

    the answer is , MAYBE

    your grounds for appeal are in that NEWBIES thread

    not a gpeol

    no contract

    poor signage

    etc etc

    there are 2 PPS listed on the BPA site, none on the IPC site afaik

    valley is not on either

    valley enforcement seems to have been dissolved in 2011

    in your case, wait for the NTK, which may never arrive if they are not in the BPA or the IPC

    DO NOT CONTACT THEM

    as stated in the NEWBIES sticky thread, WAIT FOR THE NTK

    it may not arrive if they are not in the BPA or the IPC

    they are waiting for people (fools) to fall into their trap in contacting them , then they get the drivers details, trap is sprung

    if you are going to contact anyone, make it the landowner and demand a cancellation, but do not mention who was driving AT ALL !
