Parking Ticket dropped on my the floor of my car now I have a fine

Just came back from from Uni in Birmingham and noticed I had a PCN from Euro Parking Services with the usual discounted price in the first 2 weeks £60 then up to £100 after that, I had a valid ticket, it just fell from probably me shutting my door (Not the sticky kind of tickets)

After appealing almost straight away (which reading the starter thread after appealing, wasn't the best thing to do!), stating I was the keeper of the vehicle, with proof of the ticket which also had my registration number, date and time printed on it.

They quickly got back to me (20 mins) with a reason why the fine was still being held up;

'As per the Pay and Display car park's terms and conditions, all vehicles must clearly display a valid ticket to park in this area.
Unfortunately when the Parking Charge was issued a valid pay and display ticket was not clearly displayed in your vehicle.'


This company is a IPC member, what would be my next step now, write a letter to the company, let it blow over, i have no clue?

Thank you

    its not a "fine" , its an INVOICE , no private company can "fine" you , they have no authority

    the NEWBIES sticky thread tellsl you what to do next (which is nothing)

    theey have 6 years if they wish to issue an MCOL , which is when you put your case before a judge

    keep all the paperwork and the ticket in the meantime - FILE IT

    and get some pics of the signs etc too , file them as well

    What do you expect from a parking cowboy and especially
    one that belongs to the IPC/IAS scam.

    If a scammer says no, you cannot argue with low life

    What you can do however is ignore them and the IPC.
    Expect low life debt collector letters WHICH YOU IGNORE
    until these sewer rats give up

    Then wait to see what Euro do about a "fluttering" ticket

    Contact your Uni, prove you paid and ask them to cancel it
