You say that ppcs are "100% enforceable" so why do motorists win so often at POPLA?What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

The_Voice_Of_Reality wrote: »Let me offer some insight, having dealt with DRP in the past, some points to raise with the people who really can't get their heads around how private parking works in the UK.
1. PCN notices ARE 100% enforceable as decided by the Supreme Court of the UK. This includes In Scotland. (Simply ringing up and saying "I'm not gunny peh it" is not a solution. Being Scottish does not offer exemptions to responsibility.)
2. Parking companies can and do take debtors to court, often in large numbers for defaulting on a PCN. Debt Recovery Plus does not ever take a debtor to court they have no power to do so. Some parking companies don't take court action, some always do. In around ninety percent of cases, the parking company wins.
3. Most parking sites in front of shops and retailers are private land. You actually have no right to park here at all and that's why terms and conditions of parking are put in place and are fully enforceable. The shops don't own the land, and saying you won't shop there anymore because you got a PCN is pointless. It has nothing to do with them.
4. If you "phone the police" because you don't want "harassing" letters from DRP, the police will laugh at you, and so will DRP. There are no police, and the few that are still working since Camoron and Uncle George started the cuts aren't interested in the fact you can't face the music and can't put the puzzle together on how to actually park properly.
5. When you ring DRP and you have three PCNs from the same place, "I didn't know about these" isn't a valid argument, because you did. I have lived in his country my whole life and never had one piece of mail go missing. Your lying.
6. DRP will not hear an appeal, cancel your debt, or take any interest in your circumstances whatsoever. They have no power to do so and they do not "sort it out with the DVLA or the client." By the time it has gotten to debt collection it is very simple: there is no appeal, there is no option, you either pay the balance due, or you seek legal advise as you may be summoned to court. End of.
7. Stop whinging and pay your parking charges. There are hungry debt collectors out there that need your money for their commission so they can go to the pub and laugh at you on your dime. Cheers! ��0 -

at what point in law is it stated that "blue badge" holders are the only people who are allowed to use those type of bays?
I think this is a made up rule by the BPA and IPC , but NOT the law.Save a Rachael

Many shops do own the land, I bet you have been told a million times not to exaggerate.
I agree with ALL of your other points.
If its private land us drivers have NO rights, just the privilege of being allowed to park providing we pay the correct amount.
And the £85+ charge is a legitimate deterrent for the morons who think they have the above rights.
Well said that man, you do realise you are "swimming against the tide" posting something on this forum that will get these werthers original suckers to choke on their glass of Amontillado
cheers :beer:
