5 UKPC parking tickets on my motorbike outside my house up on the curb

time to get on to the management Co , PS state that if your vehicle is tampered with by one of THERE employees (UKPC) , yup the management co hire them , then you will bring charges

Typical PPC petty rules, a poorly disguised self enrichment racket!

I wonder how much the management cpany gets from the tickets, I can't see any other reason for having then in a gated car park.

Kev, appealing all those tickets may seem like a mammoth and time-consuming task, but it isn't.

All your hard work goes into the first POPLA appeal. Create it in a w/p and save it. Then all you need to do is load it up, edit the PCN number, issue date and POPLA code, re-save with the PCN number in the filename (to keep track of your paperwork) and submit to POPLA.

If you wanted to be a real pain in UKPC's side, you could leave your bike uncovered and see how many times you can get them to ticket you before they blacklist your bike due to the amount of money you are costing them.

I was more thinking along the lines of --where they were parked was not a car park so ppc has no authority.

This is an excellent point. Would the PPC be ticketing the bike if it was inside the building in the communal hallway?

A killer appeal point is that if the parking is for permit holders only then the OP cannot be liable for any damages for a breach of any contract as one cannot enter into a contract to do something that is forbidden i.e. park without a permit.

Absolutely - ask to see the contract as to where the limit of the PPC's boundaries are. Not knowing the property, I am assuming you were on a pavement or walkway (photos might help!).

If that is the case, then 1000-1 that is outside the contract area, unless the wording is simply "parking" without specifying the areas.

As said, at some point the PPC's authority ceases if only at a stair well! That seemingly innocuous point is what wins court cases, should it come to that.

Also, have you not heard of a Velcro numberplate?

or a cricket bat ?




also do not forget to contact the DVLA to ask how many times they have applied for your data , could get 99% dropped immediately , and a good £$%^&ing from the BPA/DVLA for them

Another thing is if you go down the repeat popla challenge route, then you should also let the management company know you may be charging them ( the management company ) for your time

Some councils have a sign to say "no parking on the grass verge", anything like this there?

the councils come under legal legislations , PPCs ride horses and originate from the wild west .


they can say what they want they can print "elvis is live and kicking on the moon" on there signs, however


it is what in there contract with the land owner , or the management Co , if they have sought and received permission from land owner , what is printed and agreed on .


if the contract is wide open , saying "you pratrol land belonging to "x" ," then the land owner might get them to go to Glasgow FOC to check another property , its more likely stated "roadways and parking area adjacent to "x" street " , and clearly omit pavements and stairwells
