Ok guys thanks. Obviously seeing that sharp increase does worry me a bit, but how many have they actually won? (as pappa pointed out ) ... I will continue with my stance and gather my evidence together so I'm prepared

Our win rate in 2017 was 99% success, only TWO lost out of hundreds fully coached here. Can't get a better chance of winning and no big deal if lost.

HEY guys. Sorry I forgot to mention. On the formal demand letter UK CPM recently sent me, it now says as the 30 days are up, I now owe them £100.


Not that im paying then anything, but according to IAS, the amount doesn't go up if you pay it within the 14 days of losing your IAS appeal. So in other words, you only pay the original £60. This is how incompetent they are, that they don't even realise I went through IAS and have just sent a generic formal demand letter. Worth using this to beat them over a stick with if it goes to court ?

Its no showstopper.

Fair enough. Anything I can use to show these up I will though.

The courts are getting wise to the antics of these clowns. Your lease trumps everything. There have been multiple cases on here where the judge has read the lease an asked where the clause is about showing a permit.

At that point there is shuffling of papers and staring at shoes.

Exactly Waamo. As far as I'm aware, there is nothing in my lease that has any hidden clauses that might mess me up. There is nothing in there that gives the property management a right to change the parking, I.E implement and parking company. My lease has plenty of snippets which give me the right to park in my allocated space and no permit is mentioned. I also have a "property information form" which was signed by the management companfy in 2015 and one of the questions asked wether the car park was in a controlled parking zone or a local authority scheme, in which the property manager ticked NO!! I'm pretty certain, with these bits of evidence , I will smash these to pieces in court.

Guys, following on from the advice, i have sent an email with detailed description to my local MP, also quoting the recent parlimant debate in regards to the parking scammers.


Just a quick few questions.


When it comes to sending over the defence and evidence to the court, is this all photo copies? So basically a photo copy of lease, parking letters etc? Or do you send the originals? ( Obviously i wouldn't expect to send my original lease) ..




Also, in my defence is it worth talking about the lack of visibility of the UK CPM signs when driving in through the entrance and exiting. The reason i mention this is because when entering the car park and doing a left into my space, i don't actually have a clear view of any of the UK CPM signs as it's on the right hand side to the back of the visitors bays. Would it be good to mention this? Or do you think the primacy of contract defence is the only way to go?


I just want to be best prepared so any advice would be great

Signage is always a good point and again is often picked up on by judges. They should be clear and prominent. If they aren't no contract can be formed.

I parked at Morrisons yesterday. Their signs contained scads of T&C in very small print. Do they really expect someone who wants to buy a tin of beans to read this stuff. Is it reasonable?
