IPC and BPA member UKCPS?

Options
Hi all, hopefully a quick question. I'm trying to work out what way to appeal or ignore a NTK I've received from UKCPS.
the letter has both IPC and BPA logos at the bottom, so I'm confused which way to go.
It was for a 2 hour free parking at Iceland (Reading)
I was 2 hrs 2 mins according to the letter! Is there a separate way of arguing I was using that time to get a space, or queuing to get out the car park??
Thanks in advance.

    A logo enclosed in an oblong box indicates a corporate style membership, ie they get updates on recent parking policy, information on parking issues, invites to parking-related functions etc.

    A logo enclosed in a roundel is the ‘dangerous’ one for motorists. This means they have access to DVLA registered keeper details.

    UKCPS is an IPC member for purposes of DVLA access.
    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.

    Please read the Sticky thread for NEWBIES then send the IPC template in black you will find there.

    The NEWBIES explains what to do if/when the scammers reject your appeal.

    What happened when you complained to the Iceland manage/CEO?

    Don't forget to complain to your MP as well about this unregulated scam industry.

    The advice to ignore has not been given on this forum since the law changed in 2012.

    YES, UKCPS offers appeals via the scam IPC/IAS so assume
    that UKCPS is a scam

    With the BPA there is a grace period but with the IPC, they
    make their own rules up, such is the rule of the scam

    The IPC/IAS scam was set up by Gladstones solicitors who
    are well known to be incompetent.
    The IAS appeal is not suggested as it is loaded towards
    the PPC

    Just chill and wait .....
  • To answer your question, driving in and looking for a space, and then driving out and queuing/waiting to exit are arguments you'd use - you were not "parked" for over 2 hours then.
    I take it they were cameras so it's 2 hours 2 mins between time of entry and exit?
    Although a practising Solicitor, my posts here are NOT legal advice, but are personal opinion based on limited facts provided anonymously by forum users. I accept no liability for the accuracy of any such posts and users are advised that, if they wish to obtain formal legal advice specific to their case, they must seek instruct and pay a solicitor.
  • Yeah, exactly that,
    Time on first entry 14:02
    Time last seen on exit 16:04
    So I'll appeal to them first and wait for a rejection I suppose.

    And now (once rejected) ignore them, same as all IPC cases. Nothing changes. NO trying IAS stage!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
