  • Im trying to find out the land owner at the moment - so i will try that avenue. I can't find a VAT.
    But the interesting thing about the carpark is there is no signage at all !!!! Theres one small one at the entrance but nothing inside the car park at all !! So thats always a back up.
  • What does puzzle me though is why the machine produced that ticket ? I went round the carpark straight away and looked to see everyone else's tickets. there was one guy who had written a note saying the machine was out of order and couldn't buy one. So i'm wondering if the machine was about to run out of tickets and produced one to say this ??? Ever heard of this ????????

    Just wondering, did u buy both tickets from the same machine, some posters on here have fallen foul of buying a ticket from a neighbouring car park believing that they were one of the same.
    Any other info on the ticket such as serial numbers, company names etc. that tally with the original one you bought ?
  • yes there are 2 machines but they are right next to each other and defo in the carpark. I'll check for serial numbers
  • I've now emailed the company 3 times with no reply. Their contact number is an 0844 so I guess thats prime ???

  • Just going back through the newbies threads, but it seems to be about poplar codes. from my memory IPC companies don't issue poplar codes ??

    The IPC issue un-popular codes , ir: an invite to challenge the invoice by using the IPC to adjudicate .


    why would you want A company that also handles debt collection and court cases , for the PPCs to adjudicate , they only have one motive , screw the parking co and the customer for cash
