UKPC - POPLA or not?
Comments

I'd expected my next post on here to be a draft POPLA. However, out of the blue I received a letter from UKPC telling me that the charge has been cancelled, despite the previous appeal rejection!
I can only assume that the default response to an appeal is to reject it - regardless of any supporting evidence, and that the email from the retailer to UKPC has eventually reached someone who took action???
Anyhow, thanks for your help.

Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD0 -
Hi. I parked in my permit area outside my flat when I first moved in, I was waiting for permits to arrive from property management agency (which I pay for) so I had no permit in beginning and received a fine.
I then received another when I had my permit but my resident space was gone (someone had parked in it) so I used my permit and parked in the visitors bay (I was still waiting for my visitors permits that id paid for to arrive)
I thought this was ok as I was showing a permit and you could see all the resident spaces were full. When I received the fines I spoke to the property management and they said they had tried to get the fines cancelled but UKPC refused to. (I have this on email)
The fines keep coming to the registered keeper (not me) as I was borrowing car.
Now they've been sent to debt collectors etc
I'm just wondering what to do? Do I appeal or get the keeper to? Or ignore. No fine mentions my name as driver. Just the keeper. (Who I don't want to end up with my fines etc)

1. Please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky to learn about how private parking charges work, how to fight them and where debt collectors fit in and how you deal with them.
2. After reading it, if you have any queries, please come back, but with a new thread of your own. The forum only allows one case per thread to prevent advice becoming confused.
3. Do a search on the forum for ' UKPC residential' and you'll find plenty of different threads covering similar cases, each at a different stage. Read and learn from those how others are dealing with this. Look at only threads that have been running from the summer 2016 onwards. You don't want to be reading threads older than this as advice changes and new tactics evolve.
4. If you open a new thread please give us a timeline of when things have happened as well as how many tickets have been issued and how much is being claimed.
So a bit of work for you to do to start to understand what it is you are dealing with and how you handle it.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.
