UKPC parking fine

Mo_Best

I live in Northern Ireland. In September this year my husband received a parking fine from UKPC for parking in a disabled bay "without clearly displaying a valid disabled person's badge". This was in a shopping development. He was not driving the car. The reason for parking in a disabled space was, because he was on crutches, and had temporary limited mobility, that when we parked in an " ordinary" parking space there was not enough room for him to manoeuvre himself out of the car. There were at least 10 unused disabled bays available and we did not park at the ones nearest to the shops. On discovering the ticket on our return to the car I approached staff at the nearest shop to appeal and was told it was nothing to do with them and just to ignore it! This is what we have been doing , but UKPC letters are still coming and threatening legal action. Just wondered if it was still ok to ignore the demands if it involves parking in a disabled parking space?

If in Scotland/NI:

Apart from (of course!!) complaining to the landowner/retailer you should IGNORE your fake PCN unless you are not the registered keeper and that is a company (hire car or leased/company vehicle).*


You are safe to ignore because there is no worthwhile appeals process - do not believe what the fake PCN says! This Watchdog video still applies in Scotland and NI because a PPC has to know who was driving (unlike in England/Wales now):

WHEN IGNORING IN SCOTLAND/NI, KEEP ALL LETTERS. DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY.
