Information Overload! National Parking Management LTD.

Hi All,

I'm one for reading stickies and absorbing as much information on new topics that are relevant to me but my word is there a ton of information on this forum. I don't know my POPLA from my IPC.

In a nutshell, I parked in a private permit holders only car park last week but on arrival in the morning the car park was pitch black with no lighting, therefore I failed to recognise I shouldn't park there.

Fast forward to today and I received a letter (note there was no windscreen ticket) stating that I "owe" £100!

Now, where do I start, which template do I proceed to use? Will a "lack of lighting" claim suffice?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Much of this has to be self help. We get hundreds of threads and posts to deal with each week - and there's only half a dozen or so regular contributors.

    This isn't rocket science, but by the same token it's not painting by numbers. Everything you read/research should now be in the context of the IPC/IAS. The BPA/POPLA have no relevance to your case.
    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.

    Have a read of the NEWBIES thread again, specifically post #1 and #3 but only the stuff about IPC firms.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
