Parking Ticket in my own space!

Except that it isn't their own space. It's a space that is allocated to a property that they are renting. There's a big difference.

Therefore it's their space by way of a lease agreement!

Mr bloody pedantic!

And what right does the parking company have to charge the OP for parking in their OWN space regardless of whether they display a permit, paint their car with gold glitter or any other arbitrary rules they make up?

Should you have to pay if a company decide set up a permit scheme and invoice you for parking on your own property?

Because the permit scheme is there to ensure only the residents are parking in the spaces.

The ticket will be for failing to display.

If the OP is genuine then they should be happy the parking enforcement staff are trying to discourage people not displaying a permit from parking.

And it's posts like this that ensure Ppcs will continue to exist. The op has appealed and explained that it was a resident that was parking in the space, but they rejected the appeal. Which goes to show they are not interested in who is parking where but in making money but sending these charges to people who have a right to leave their car there.

If it was genuine the PPC would have listened to the appeal and cancelled the charge.

Their tendency agreement makes no mention of a permit, and the agreement will supersede any 'contract' the PPC will have in place.

The PPC has no right to profit from the ops land.

But I'm sure if the same happened to you, you would be happy to pay the charge without question?

This is exactly why I suggested getting this thread moved to the Parking sub-forum ... many posters in this main Motoring forum simply don't understand the nuances.

Since they're the only way that anybody is legally allowed to control parking on private land... good.

Without them, it'd be a free-for-all.

All this time on MSE under the name AdrianC and now it turns out you're actually Patrick Troy.

Well played Mr troy, well played.

Unless..... You're just another uninformed member of the public who swallows all the bull***t about private parking without actually thinking about it.

It's clear which is more plausible.

Yep. You have a knee-jerk "parking control is bad" attitude without stopping to think.

Here's a question for you. Let's say you manage a block of flats. There aren't enough spaces for all the residents, let alone anybody random who might feel like parking there. How would YOU ensure that those who pay for spaces get to use them? You've looked into entry-control barriers, and they aren't an option.

We got the permit in the post from the landlord about 2 weeks after moving in

Does the permit identify your car in any way - does it have your car registration number on it?

Please explain how the current model for the vast majority of PPCs actually manages parking?

Similarly, take a look in the appropriate forum and you will find this gets done regularly, in a way that shows your assertion that we take a "parking control is bad" attitude is either complete ignorance or an outright lie!

Simple. It provides a counter-incentive to take the !!!! and park where you shouldn't.

Is it perfect? Of course not.
Is it better than the anarchy that would follow zero legal control? Yes, definitely.
