Ace security pcn

Hello,

I have had a parking permit from ACE security for one of the sites, its a resident permit, and as the car registration number was missing, they suddenly slapped me with a parking ticket. The parking permit itself only has a empty space called "reg no.", when I called their office they said, I received the notices as my car registration number is not properly displayed on it and needs to be writte in, I have been using this permit for the last 11 months, and suddenly received this for the first time! There is no proper signage on the permit, or in the parking lot. I have appealed my ticket.

I have tried to enclose the signs but i am unable to provide picture links as first time user.


best wishes

Zerb

    use tinypic or photobucket for pictures , use a dead url for the link , changing http to hxxp

    also check your written tenancy agreement or parking agreement , see what it says about your actual rights and responsibilities to park there

    Sure i will check the agreement now, however from what I remember there was nothing written on it apart from parking spaces being available.

    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.

    apologies for the small pictures, the second and bigger pictures link was just below it.
    I checked the tenancy agreement, it doesn't mention anything about needing registration number on the parking permit, only mentions something along the lines of no obstruction and no repairing within the property etc and so on.

    I have appealed with the donotpay website info.

    ACE is an IPC member

    Pace Recovery & Storage Ltd (Trading as Ace Security Services)

    so any appeals should not name the driver and be sent in around day 19 after the parking event, AS KEEPER , with address of the keeper, or a serviceable address instead (if you dont want them getting your actual address)

    the NEWBIES sticky thread has the info for IPC members

    They do need keeper name and address details in an appeal.

    I'm not familiar with the donotpay jobby (unless you mean the dreadful "official" "I admit I was driving" MSE template) so I hope it doesn't give away the driver's details. Please post it here for us to look at.

    signage:

    drivers must display a valid permit and comply with any conditions on that permit

    is there text on the back stating that you have to hand write your VRN on the permit?

    No it does not state any such thing on the back of the permit, it does not state that the car registration needs to be on the parking permit, there is only "registration no." at the front but it does not say "car registration number" which is misleading. "registration no" could be interpreted as anything.

    There is a case coming up with Ace and resident's permits which may be of use. Pace v Mr N.

    The issue will turn on the contents of your lease/rental agreement.
