    Update

    I complained to BPA generally and also sent the email to Steve Clark, Head of Operational Services, BPA and got a reply back from Steve confirming that he had been in correspondence with FlashPark and they have agreed to cancel the ticket.

    Great news, Many thanks everyone for the guidance and help!

    Could you give us a gist of the complaint you made please? It is important to know what 'works' which will undoubtedly help others caught in the same spider's web.

    Well done on winning this.

    This is the email i sent

    Dear BPA


    I received a PCN FPxxxxx from FlashPark on 7 August 2015 which i appealed against within the given time asking them to either cancel the PCN or provide a POPLA code.


    They replied with an offer of £25 as full and final settlement and never provided POPLA code, which i never accepted and waited for POPLA code to be supplied.


    Now FlashPark are asking for £85 ie full PCN and still haven't supplied me with POPLA code.


    This is a breach of the Code of Practice the PPC is signed up to, breaches the KADOE contract to get DVLA data.

    If my complaint is not resolved properly i intend to involve my MP and refer the issue to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.


    I would appreciate your help with this matter.


    Regards


    XYZ

    Thanks for quick response.

    No doubt the BPA asked them a few questions that included words of more than one syllable so the PPC thought it easier to cancel the ticket rather than plough through a dictionary trying to work out what was being asked (before even attempting to write a response!).

    Well done again.

    Was this on NHS land? I'd find out who hired them and make them aware of your experiences and the dishonesty (as agreed by the BPA) of their actions there. Highlight the UKPC doctored photos cases too.

    Yes you can take his word for it.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
