Hi
My husband parked our car to the side of the entrance to an open car park on Easter Sunday. The car park has parking bays on one side and is clearly signposted on the bays side to where my husband parked that you will be fined if no permit etc etc.

The carpark is owned by our local council as it serves the tenants in the market hall.

Husband wasnt even parked in a bay or directly on the car park. He left the car at **** and was back at **** ticket was placed at ****.

The cost is £100 or £50 if paid within 14 days.

Now I know these tickets are not entirely enforceable and was hoping for some advice asap.

I shall read the newbies thread as advised in other peoples posts but can someone please advise if their is a template letter etc and what I should do.

It is enforced by ANPR of Preston

Thanks in advance.

    Ignore the windscreen notice and wait for the postal notice ... you shouldn't get one - ANPR Ltd have been chucked out of their Approved Trade Association and therefore have no direct means of accessing keeper data at the DVLA (unless they issued a paper request, which is unlikely). :)

    If a postal notice DOES come through, you need to be asking serious questions as to HOW they got keeper details without being a member of an ATA like the BPA or IPC. ;)

    I have just looked on BPA and apparently they are members or have I missed something?

    You've missed something ... ANPR Limited are not members of the BPA's AOS scheme. There are other companies with ANPR and Limited in their names, but none specifically as ANPR Limited. :)

    Unless your ticket is from one of the other companies listed, and not actually ANPR Limited?

    You are missing something. They were suspended a couple of days ago.

    ANPR ltd is run by a chap affectionately known on here as Trev the clamp. I'm sure he is depriving some village somewhere.
