Would that affect an appeal on the ticket?

It means that you treat it exactly as any other parking matter on unrelated land eg Morrisons/Aldi/etc.

Unfortunately, as you live there and have 2 vehicles, you are likely to build up a large sum in collection attempts, which might make you well worth suing.

The time when you had influence over this was when the solicitor wrote to tell you you had no parking rights. At that point you could have kicked up and refused to complete.

This is the next problem, people are digging up their tiny front gardens or just parking on them. It looks awful!

They have done the maths, 365 x £100 = £36,500 a year in tickets.
This new POPLA could make appealing a waste of time and with the Beavis appeal, things dont look good, I would look at joining the diggers.

What is this new POPLA/Beavis appeal you are referring to?

hoohoo

POPLA changed hands a few weeks ago, and nobody stayed on - there was an entire change of personnel - so we don't know whether the same appeal points are valid in their eyes.

Beavis is a parking case which the Supreme Court are ruling on.

It might be the best option to move house. Even with the costs involved, these would be less than the number of tickets you will get. Consider moving now in case your house becomes unsellable or drops in value due to the parking crisis.

Have you read the Sticky thread for NEWBIES at the top of the main page here? This is your starting point where you should appeal to Elite using the template appeal letter.


All the other work with neighbours and managing agents should be done in parallel, but you must attack the first and then any subsequent parking tickets with an appeal.
Never 'phone a parking company and always make sure you never reveal who was driving. In any and all correspondence you use the term, "the driver" never "I".


Do not pay, do not ignore, do not reveal who was driving, do not miss the appeal deadline.


Tell your neighbours to come onto this site and make sure they all appeal each and every ticket they get. This costs the parking company money so you need to hit them in the wallet to make this stop.

hoohoo

Plan B. if their NTKs are not valid, swap car keepers. You need to do this at the end of the month and retax as appropriate. If the NTK is not valid they can only pursue the driver, who will not be the keeper.

Plan C. Buy a lockable car cover and make sure the warden cannot read your plates.

Regardless who the agent is, the builder is the landowner.

The builder sold you the property. At the time, the property had 2 parking spaces and was a fundamental to the house being bought. I would approach the builder and warn him that he faces a class action (Legal since October ) to reinstate the position as to when he sold the properties or to buy them back.

You might be best joining those parking in their gardensm or parking elsewhere if you are worried about multiple tickets. It's completely nuts to build and sell a house these days with only a single parking space; almost everyone I know has a car each.

Even if it goes to court they'll have a hard time justifying £100 per ticket, assuming they don't give up when you fail to pay the first dozen.

I wouldn't go so far as to re-register the cars. For the car on the road, just make sure the last person to move it was the one that wasn't the keeper and you should be fine. The contract will not be specific enough to determine which "driver" is liable - the one that drove it off the public highway or the one that parked it last.

I'd also be kicking up a stink with the builders since you bought the house on the premise that you could park 2 cars, and ask them what provision they are going to make.

Do you know if it's self ticketing or a warden? If it's self ticketing it'll be interesting finding out who is doing it, then you can ask them to ignore your cars as you aren't going to be paying the invoice so they won't get their £10 comission anyway. If it's a warden, they'll eventually get told off or get bored issuing invoices that don't gain them any comission either.

Presumably a huge stink will be had if appeals that would have been accepted by old POPLA start being rejected by new POPLA, that the standards have dropped?

It's a guy in a van giving out the tickets; maybe someone should give him a ticket for stopping on the road!
By self ticketing do you mean some sort of camera picking up your details and then a pcn coming through the post.

Self ticketing is a Norris Cole who lives in your buildings sneaking out at 2am to issue tickets to everyone who isn't one of his mates (ie everyone but himself)
