in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hi,

After having a brief look around for something similar...
UKPS parking charge notice.
Am I required by law to pay this fine ?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks.

    read the NEWBIES sticky thread which is near the top of this forum

    the law is unclear on this , its a complicated matter

    if they try a court case, the judge may say you are liable and must pay it, or not

    It is not a fine.

    You do not have to pay it unless a judge tells you to. Have you been to court and been told by a judge to pay it?

    If not, please read the Sticky thread for NEWBIES then send the IPC template letter you will find here.

    Did you get a windscreen ticket or a NTK through the post? This will determine when you send the template.

    I don't have a sister. :D

    ...are you required by law to pay that bunch?

    No...!

    Is it UKPS Ltd:

    http://www.bmpa.eu/companydata/UKPS.html

    or this lot:

    http://www.bmpa.eu/companydata/UKPS_North_West.html

    Either way, no. It's not a fine. It's an invoice, follow the advice in the NEWBIES thread and on the BMPA pages there.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Read it again when less stressed. You need to know if it's a BPA or IPC member.

    You haven't said which UKPS it is.

    I have already told you which template to use. Clue, it does not mention BPA or PoPLA.
