    Interesting to read a blog from a person unconnected to the forums about the notorious UKCPS who have not featured much recently on here. They are one firm where, if they were infesting a car park, I would avoid the shops there and would write to tell them why.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    A relative of mine collected a ticket from them just a few days before POFA. I told them to FOAD, and have heard no more since, but am waiting for a solicitors letter to pop through the letter box at any moment.

    UKCP's signs are completely non-nonsensical. I was reading one recently where it said that if the driver leaves site then their made-up "rules" have been broken. How can they determine who the driver was, and what if one of the passengers drives that vehicle out of the car-park?
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    They also seem to be uncertain whether that are claiming for liquidated damages for a breach of contract, (v.a.t. free), or a contractually agreed charge, (20% v.a.t.).

    I have been assiduously advising people to dob them to The Revenue for the last two years, maybe the vatman has caught up with them.
