UKCPS ticket

I've read some of the threads about this company - I'm a tad confused as there are so many and several seem to say 'ignore' go to next thread kind of thing.

Is the current advice to ignore them or to contact them?

I've phoned the retailer, in this instance Hollywood Bowl, who told me to phone UKCPS and that they would help me. Not from what I've read on here they won't.

I've no intention of paying, nor visiting the particular place again - ever!

Thanks in advance.

When the round up days are over,
And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
For you old faithful pal of mine.
Giddy up old fella cos the moon is yellow tonight,
Giddy up old fella cos the moon is mellow and bright,
There’s a coyote crying at the moon above,
Carry me back to the one I love,
And you old faithful pal of mine.

    The advice to ignore is old and out of date, and has not been given here since the law changed in 2012.

    Please read the Sticky thread for NEWBIES then send the IPC template you will find there. Copy and paste and send. Do not edit, do not reveal who was driving, never, ever 'phone a parking scammer.

    I suggest you leave negative feedback on the bowling website and social media sites saying why you, your family, and your friends are now all ex customers.

    nobody on any thread tells you to IGNORE UKCPS

    the CORRECT ADVICE for any BPA or as in this case any IPC member IS SIMPLE

    APPEAL

    which is why there are 2 templates in the NEWBIES sticky thread, one for each , so use the one in black text

    its afterwards you may go into IGNORE mode, once they reject your initial appeal

    the landholder or business should be able to get these charges cancelled if you press them hard enough

    but that is as well as appealing

    any time you see the word IGNORE it relates to debt collectors and parking companies like UKCPS once an appeal has been rejected

    the NEWBIES sticky thread does explain all of this

    Thanks for the replies - I've read the Newbie thread...

    Now I'm slightly confused. The ticket was from UKCPS Ltd I thought they were a member of the BPA but a line in red says they are banned from getting DVLA info. Does that mean I now do nothing at all? As in I don't appeal or anything else?

    Thanks very much - all the info just seems a bit confusing to me. This is really stressing my husband out, he's not well I was hoping he wouldn't see the ticket. Typically he has.

    UKCPS are not a BPA member, they are IPC, the dark side. They are now getting data again so I'll edit that bit.

    The thread gives you an IPC challenge template and tells you to THEN ignore after that (except court papers).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Ride rude stuff of Holywood Bowl sites, Facebook, TripAdvisor, their own website, it might shake them out of their complacency.

    Sorry me again - I can email this template to them? Except I can't find an email for UKCPS - any clues please?

    What does it tell you to do on the NTK? You may have to upload it to their website. Make sure you double check any tick boxes as they will automatically default to driver. You MUST select keeper.
    If there is no option to select keeper then you have to post it.
