    So funny ,,, love that program ,.. thanks
  • it wasnt a regular car park barrier. more of a construction site fence.

    anyway, i came here because the forums show that there is not a need to pay cowboys like cpms, especially when parked in a place that i can argue isnt well enough signed.

    but okay, thanks for the advice. i shall pray.

    If the entrance is blocked, it means they do not want visitors and there is no need to have signs as they don't want you to enter.

    I think you may have missed the point.

    We do not and have never condoned parking indiscriminately and certainly not in areas where parking or public parking isn't welcome such as that you describe. The legality or otherwise of PPC tickets is entirely irrelevant to that discussion and, as has been discussed already, it is exactly the thing PPC's used to excuse their money-grabbing actions.

    That said the advice you have been given is the best thing you can do. You have missed the appeal deadlines and there is nothing more to be done than to sit it out. DR+ are simply toothless debt collectors who rely - much like their PPC fellow-travellers - on bluff and bluster to screw money out of their victims. Once you realise that they have only the same powers as you and I to collect debts - which is to ask for people to pay - any fear you might have melts away. They can't issue proceedings.

    CPMS aka Car Park Management Services (CPMS) Ltd do occasionally issue proceedings but their signage is poor and they can be beaten.

    I can only apologise for the apparent simplicity of the advice but that is it.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    The language, syntax and faux outrage remind me of a recently departed member.
