Cps midlands - pcn help please ?

Hello looking for some help here as i am very inexperienced in dealing with these kind of matters. First i parked my car in the climbing depot (Nottingham) as i am not from this area I was looking for planet bounce from which I got out of my car and walked around the corner to find their car park. Once i returned to my vehicle (5 MINUTES LATER!!!) a PCN had been slapped on my window screen. I did my research online and followed the newbie thread and appealed directly to CPS Midlands by letter. However foolishly I sent the appeal before they even sent out the letter notifying me of the PCN (obviously didn't do enough research). :rotfl:

Furthermore they replied to my appeal a swell as including several photos of the signage and pictures of my car in the bay with the PCN once again slapped on my window screen. This has got me thinking do they have greater evidence that what i have if the matter goes to court ? The appeal reply letter they sent can be seen here

So moving forward do i now just ignore everything that comes through my letter box such as Debt recovery and take particular notice to any court cases as i am aware that they send face court letter to make you pay the fine ?

Someone please push me to what i need to do next or shall i just pay the sum ?

Thanks in advance [/B]

    IPC member so little you can do unless you get a land owner cancellation

    if you do ignore, its ignore everything EXCEPT an LBC or an MCOL

    the ppc has 6 years to try a court claim to try to claim the money due for their invoice, if they can prove they have a claim

    you have omitted to tell us what the signage said


    was it no red cars on a Wednesday afternoons or did it say something more specific , and indeed what offence was written on the ticket

    They are supposed to give you ten minutes grace period to read their silly T&C. Challenge then to take you court, tell them that, if they do, you will seek compensation for time wasting.

  • Hi I was just wondering whether you got anywhere with this ticket?? I've got the exactly same thing. Reason stated was parking for patrons while on the premises only. What does that even mean? I thought it was just a customer parking area? Thanks!!
