Appeal refused

the Driver of my car at the time got a ticket in a car park operated by myparkingcharge guys. (VCS ltd). After leaving a ticket I the car, taking lots of photos (he’s recorded by the vets 24hr a day cctv doing it so it’s NOT ANPR as he’s ticketed it!!)

I as the registered keeper got a NTK 7 days later tellin me how to pay etc. I’ve appealed as they had to wait 28 days as it’s not ANPR, also the guy isn’t in full uniform and a random white van so not sure how legal it is?

I’ve appealed as it’s breaking POFA which they vclaim as per schedule 4 of the POFA 2012 they can do this!!? I used the appeal shown in newbies section but they’ve thrown it straight out and said they will still prosecute the owner.

Also they’ve rejected my request under pronciple 6 of DP act 1998, they won’t stop as I’ve not explained or met the requirements for a “section 10 notice??” As I’ve not mentioned how stressed I’d get apparently???:rotfl:

Now they’ve told me to appeal to the IAS. What’s best to put in appeal as they’ve clearly just jacked my appeal of without a care!!

I’ve not told notified them of Drivers details as I don’t want them hassled but I at the same time don’t want them to tow my car away without legal right or at least a court order as the ticket is illegal and so is they way they’ve processed my info!” As the keeper


Cheers guys!

    its a private parking firm on private land , so almost anything goes and they can certainly INVOICE people as you have found out

    they will claim that the drivers notice is not an NTD , hence they have 14 days to get RK details from the dvla (this has been discussed for many months on here since they started doing it)

    so their NTK may well have followed POFA2012

    they were always going to refuse to cancel , its their business model , nothing to do with parking , everything to do with sc@mming

    you should read the IAS advice in that NEWBIES sticky thread and ignore them

    nothing will happen without a court order, so until they take it to small claims court you are at an impasse stage, neither side giving an inch

    if they take you to court and you lose, pay it , IN FULL , within 28 days , to avoid a CCJ and enforcement

    there is nothing "illegal" about any of it , they are skating just within what is allowed

    immoral = yes, underhand = yes, cheeky gits = yes

    You don't seem to understand the full picture when you say you are worried your car will be towed away!!

    Everyone is politely asked to read up on this in the Newbies faq thread near the top of the forum before starting a new thread

    Read up there now, familiarise yourself with the game ( including the futility of sppeals to the IAS, and wait and see what happens during the debt collectors stage which is explained in the FAQ
  • Yeah without a ccj no debt recovery can take place at all right?? Not til At least been to court??

    So DONT APPEAL IAS???

    If you want to watch someone fall over themselves to find a way to consistently debunk your evidence and support the PPC's evidence (based on our experience here) with ever more ridiculous statements and conclusions of "facts" then please do appeal to the IAS. If this kind of thing does not amuse you then I would follow the advice on the Newbies thread about IAS members and ignore everything until (or if) you get a Letter Before Claim or MCOL (can be up to six years from the event). When you get that LBC you take action, defend the claim and if you win you pay nothing and its over. If you lose you pay them about £100+ as ordered by the District Judge within the time frames laid out by the DJ and again its all over ...

    The only other way to knock this on the head is to get a landowner cancellation. Where did you get the ticket, retail park or something?
  • It was received on some waste land that used to be a petrol station can’t tell
    Who it’s owned by and when I asked them they declined to tell me/answer my questions as to who’s land owner etc.

    I’ll await a court letter from them, problem is I’ll be moving by xmas In with the mrs and the car will be replaced at the same time for something bigger.

    Worried 6 years down the line I get a CCJ that I know nothing about!!??

    after you have moved you inform the PPC and any solicitors they employ of your NEW ADDRESS , getting a free certificate of posting from the PO and keeping copies of them safe for 6 years

    you also email the VCS email address for claims with the same info

    therefore you have a paper trail of informing them of the new address for service , so if they fail to use it it can be pointed out to a judge in the future and obtain a set aside with costs
