Parking charge notice (PCN) - A S Parkingin Cornwall

Kerensa

The parking charge notice was slapped on the windscreen after 8.30 pm. There's nothing to say it's a 24 hour enforcement on the signage or the house owner's documentation from the estate management team who handed the parking control over to A S Parking in any case.

What does your tenancy agreement say about parking and have you signed anything since regarding parking?

The house owner was informed about the permit scheme by letter but there is nothing to indicate that it's on a 24 hour basis...

Here are some pics to show the signage:

Contractually agreeing to 'not' do something.

Utter garbage.

And what on earth does "I you do not agree" mean?

And that sign is certainly not "3 foot square" as suggested by that nice maddog2015. For starters, it's rectangular...

If there's nothing about it in the tenancy agreement and no letters have been signed to agree to the permit scheme then there's nothing the parasites can do. This is yet another negative aspect of bringing these scumbag companies in to manage private estates; most of the time it's the residents themselves being ticketed!

How is that eye level to a driver? That looks like it's at the first floor line, which puts it at at least 8-10ft off the ground. It's utterly unreadable so should get a slam-dunk due to the poor signage. You won't, cos it's the IAS and they'll insist it's perfectly readable, but a judge won't agree with them.


The landowner also thinks they are still with the BPA, so it's worth telling them they jumped ship to the IAS because it allows them much more freedom to violate any code of practice or decency.

....... and offers no credible appeals process, so residents (whose interests the managing agent is supposedly serving), who will become the PPC's main prey once fly parkers move elsewhere, will increasingly have absolutely no recourse to 'justice'!

Hi, as everyone else says, the signs are in the wrong place and they must be readable, clearly at night you cannot read them.
You guys that were caught should all say the same thing to the PPC

Do understand the the BPA and the new kid on the block, IPC are not independent regulators, The PPC's pay them by way of a subscription fee so no wonder we have the problems we have.

IPC ... THEY SAY

Accredited Operator Scheme

Who accredited them
http://www.theipc.info/accredited-operator-scheme

As you can see, they charge PPC's for membership.
Who are they going to favour ? The public or their paying members
.... yup you got it right first time
UNFAIR TRADING

I am surprised that Trading Standards have not picked up on this

Which is why we need a government controlled independent regulator who is fair. At the moment it is very one sided
