ANPR Company - Private Car Park Disabled Badges?

Hi

All the on street and council car parks do not require the use of a clock anymore, and I parked in what I thought was a council car park (Use to be up until recently).

Came back to the car and had a Parking Charge Notice from ANPR.LTD, Preston.

Amazed by this, I had a look at some boards and noticed that they allow three hours parking if a clock is also displayed.. :(


As they advertise cameras all over the place, they could easily see I was not parked for over three hours..

What is the best option here? How do I play the initial letter to ANPR, and then the letter to Popla (popla is mentioned in the letter).

Thanks in advance.

    Windscreen ticket?

    What was the date of your parking event?

    I think we can really help you here!

    Do not contact this sham/joke compnay whatever you do.
    old trev has been given the boot and is no longer in any ATA.
    in other words they shouldnt be able to get your details.
    From the Plain Language Commission:

    "The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"

    As Freddy and Half-way have said, own Trev and his outfit were booted out of the BPA back in April so should have no legitimate access to your personal details from the DVLA - but interested in what Freddy says about pursuing 'trespass'. Are the DVLA issuing details to them for that Freddy?

    Make absolutely no contact whatsoever with ANPR Ltd - if they do obtain your data, get back to us. And as Freddy says, it's popcorn time.

    Here's an extract from the ANPR Ltd website:

    Remember - MAKE NO CONTACT WITH THEM!

    ok , stop worrying .


    "most" normal car parking COs use the DVLA electronic system to get your info , if they are ANPR cameras , they can apply the same day and have to send you a letter within 14 days , if the are the sort of PPC that issue tickets , they have to wait several weeks before applying for your info , in case you want to make a quick payment.


    ANPR have been booted out of there trade body , and cannot get your info by electric , they have to send a posted letter to the DVLA , and await an answer.


    stupid trevor has decided tol start doing people for trespass , however in your case it was not trespass , it was a "so called" missing clock.


    do not ring or write to the muppet ,
