Ias appeal decline

in Parking tickets, fines & parking
I've had my appeal decline by the IAS and now I'm not sure what to do next?

Do I just leave it and wait for the debt collectorss letter (which I would ignore) or do I try and fight again?

The reason I got my ticket was due to me not putting up my permit for where I park when I go to work (it's not a work car park, it's a private one).

All their argument was was stating that there is clear signage around the car park to state that a valid permit needs to be displayed at all times.

I get that I forgot to put it up for one day, but surely £100 fine is a bit OTT!

Has anyone got any ideas on what I should do next? I don't want to be taken to court and end up being liable for charges!


Thanks in advance :j

    If you look around this forum you will find that appeals to this bunch of scamming muppets are bound to fail in over 80% of cases.

    You can't fight it again you are wasting your time, you will now have to suffer the barrage of scrap paper from debt collecting idiots and just wait and see.

    Have you complained to the landowner? This is your best option.

    As for IPC/IAS companies, the advice here is to ignore anything and everything you get for six years except real court papers.

    No, I didn't realise I could?

    Would I just write to them and explain my reasons why I believe I should not have to pay?

    Thanks!:D

    Or go and see them. Your post is short on detail. Do you pay the landholder for your permit, or does your company pay them for a number of parking spots? Get your company involved if so. You need to be rattling cages - a far more effective strategy than meekly succumbing to the inevitable with the IAS.

    And no, there's no template for complaining to a landholder. You could read this though before planning your attack:

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    The IAS do not offer proper adjudication. If the PPC take you to court you can use the unsigned ill-considered decision against them.
