Appealing parking notice

Queenieviolet

I have heard (via social media) that if you do not appeal a fine (invoice) at the time and then try later with POPLA that the court will rule that it must be paid. This was advice given by a solicitor. Any views? Currently my parking notice is a couple of years old but it would appear UKCPS are writing again to old fines following the new case law.

all the answers you need are in the NEWBIES sticky thread near the top of this forum, especially for england and wales

What Solicitor ?
Name and shame the idiot.

Sadly I do not know Marktheshark. Redx, I did not find any answers on how to deal with old cases in the Newbies section. I cannot appeal for something that happened 2-3 years ago. I don't even have the ticket or letter anymore. Someone on social media shared that they have been sent a new letter a year on for a ticket which they believed to be forgotten about. What is the best way to go about fighting old tickets?

You need to give us much more info. Different PPCs - different advice. If you have a LBCC, Court Papers or just a Debt Collector's letter each has a different solution.

So take time to spell out sufficient information and we can advise. If you don't then we can't. Simple.

post #4 of the newbies thread deals with debt collector letters, which happens long after any appeal process is exhausted

you cannot fight an old ticket

it either expires after 6 years

OR

if you receive an LBC or an MCOL within 6 years, then you fight back

the crabman sticky thread has a thread inside it about LBC letters

post #5 of the NEWBIES sticky thread deals with court claims (MCOL)

put the search word MIAH into the forum search box to find UKCPS debt collector letters

They are sending out debt recovery letters with added charges for legal costs and administration fees. It is UKCPS. I haven't given more detail as it is not my letter currently. I was just a bit nervous that I may be getting one through the post soon! My husband received his parking charge in a free car park for walking out of the car park, even though he had visited shops. He was with his mother and when they finished shopping they crossed over the road to look at an old quarry. They then returned to finish shopping. I ignored the one letter I received based on advice from this site and never heard from them again....and hopefully I never will. It was about 3 years ago so I can't believe they will have kept any evidence from then?

Sorry Redx - I will look again - thank you

Redx

they will probably be from MIAH

if it says may take legal action etc, its a threatogram, so ignore it

if an official LBC or MCOL arrives, fight it

ukcps have 6 years to bring a court claim, same as we all can do under small claims court since 1973
