    I would leave that decision to the Fraud Squad.
    Just need to get it to them and past the goon on the phone first.
    I do Contracts, all day every day.

    are they reading this forum?
    email received 10 mins ago
    Good afternoon

    You have not given the name of an operator. If the operator is one of our members please provide copies of any letters, documents, photos etc. you may have ion order for us to look into this matter.


    The Approved Operator Scheme (AOS) and its Code of Practice was developed by the BPA to bring a degree of regulation to an industry without primary legislation. Regrettably as we are not a regulatory authority, we are not empowered to become involved in individual disputes between the motorist and the car park operator and have no authority to overturn an operator’s decision. Therefore, any action regarding your individual circumstances are out of our control and should be directed to the operator.

    As a membership association and not a regulatory body we cannot recall charges progressed to a debt collection and have no power to intervene in the appeals procedure with either the operator or POPLA and cannot request an operator to cancel, refund or recall any parking charge notices referred to a debt collection agency.

    We can however investigate evidence of a possible breach of any of the points raised in the Code of Practice.

    The private parking landscape significantly improved for motorists who had received a PCN and felt that it had been issued inappropriately issued on 1st October 2012 when the BPA launched POPLA (Parking on Private Land Appeals) in England and Wales – a service that gave the motorist the chance to have their case independently heard by suitably qualified assessors after having their initial representations to the parking operator rejected. POPLA is free to the motorist, fully funded by the private parking sector and its decisions are binding on the operator but not on the motorist. Since the arrival of POPLA over 35,000 motorists have had their appeal independently assessed and at no cost to them.

    photo,s were sent , and the signage was clear , showing the PPC,s name

    I got no sense from Liverpool council when I queried VCS's signs on the public highway at JLA. The council's response was that the signs are on JLA's property, and they could not do anything about them.

    However they said if I or somebody I know received a notice for parking on this road then I should let them know.

    They have a portal now for general complaints, were they direct the email to the relevant department. However they do get back to you quickly usually.

    https://www.liverpool.gov.uk/contact-us/general-enquiries/general-enquiries/

    Unfortunately I lost the original email when I lost an old BT email account.

    These signs are on the fence on Hale road and Dunlop road. As here.

    I have never seen a post here regarding anyone getting a PCN on these roads.
