UKCPS and Urban Splash

hankkosovo

I rent a parking space from Urban Splash at a cost of £80pm. I received a windscreen ticket from UKCPS shortly followed by a letter demanding payment of £125 for parking in the space I rent. The letter states I was parking 'without a valid permit or authority'. I have a windscreen permit that was visible at the time of the ticket.

I've read the guides but I was just wondering as I actually rent the space and have a valid permit for it, is the procedure any different? Should I contact Urban Splash first?

Do the terms of your lease specify that a permit must be displayed?

If yes, is/was your permit up to date?

ALWAYS contact the landowner.

They run a self ticket phone app system, so it is likely to be someone in the car park on commission trying it on, think they get £10 for everyone who pays.

I though self-ticket phone apps didn't actually print out a ticket? Rather they uploaded to a central system which then sent out a postal ticket to the keeper. (OP says they received a windscreen ticket).

Might be on the old system, where they gave them a book of tickets, still get £10 from what I am informed.

No the lease terms do not state that a permit must be displayed, only that I am allowed to park in the bay/bays that I pay for.

When I was given the permit I was told to keep it in the car window so that I wouldn't get a ticket, but nothing in my lease states that I HAVE to show the permit.

The permit however was displayed, and there is no date on it, it just has the number of the parking bay I have been assigned.

Dear UKCPS,

This is my appeal ref. PCN XXXXXX

I pay for the parking space [number/identifier] in which my vehicle was parked, as such I am the leaseholder for that space. Accordingly I am entitled to quiet enjoyment of my property, and my lease defines no requirement whatsoever to display a permit (albeit a valid permit was displayed at the time of this PCN). I require you to cancel this PCN immediately - as the defacto landowner for this parking space you cannot ignore this instruction. Any further pursuance by UKCPS in respect of this PCN will be vigorously defended.

Furthermore, I formally withdraw any implied right of access to my property to you, your employees and your agents. Any further placement of PCNs on any vehicle will be classed as trespass and will be pursued accordingly ... I am sure you will be familiar with UKPC v Davey. As such I suggest you instruct your employees/agents to add my parking space to a whitelist, so as to not affix any PCNs to any vehicle that may be using said space.

Yours faithfully,
NAME


Maybe wait for others to fine tune the above, but that's the thrust of it.

Drop the v.a.t. bomb on them

If the PPC are claiming that the funny money they want is a contractually agreed charge, they should, if they have a turnover of £75,000, account for vat. Further reading here.
