Parking Ticket in my own space!

I agree with you AdrianC - parking enforcement is essential or we'd have chaos. You only have to go to countries with less stringent rules to see what happens!

I also agree with pointing out someone's mistakes and in accepting your own errors.

So accept yours here. They don't have legal grounds to charge me in this case.

1. I never agreed to these rules when I signed my lease.
2. The lease clause about service charges cannot just be applied to anything they want. (£30 fine for having a TV larger than 22 inches?)
3. It was my space.
4. The signs and rules arrived after we moved in with no letter or other communication about it.
5. No, I DON'T have to read EVERY sign that pops up after I've moved in. This would mean you literally HAVE to scan for new signs EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I don't take this stuff lying down and neither should you.

Just a reminder from your original post...

A few weeks ago I got a parking ticket for not displaying a permit.

We got the permit in the post from the landlord about 2 weeks after moving in and the ticket was issued at least a month after that.

So you not only knew damn well that a permit WAS required, but you actually had one. You just forgot to put it on display.

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?

The fact that I can park there and I have no permit or anyone else, the company rightly assumes no permit in windscreen you should not park there.

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.

Anyone?

You mean like Scotland where there is no keeper liability and private tickets can be safely ignored? All those reports of carmageddon and anarchy that's ensued must have passed me by.:D

Yes, lift up or telescopic posts at the end of each bay or even the good old fashioned chain.
