Sip pcn, please help

sandrofio

Dear all,
I am quite lost. I have tried to read posts and links but I am really confused now.
I parked in a SIP car park, I duly paid the fee at the machine, i got the ticket but ì, unlucky me, probably upon shutting the door the ticket fell on the floor. On my return I had a PCN on my window screen which I have appealled straight away on the online SIP website the same night explaining the situation and sending the ticket as proof. Now, a week later,they replied by email rejecting my appeal and prompting me to pay more (originally GBP35)now GBP60.
They writre that if I am not happy to contact the IAS within 21 days from their rejection notice.
Please help as i do not know what to do, and it has been a very unfortunate genuine circumstance
I will await your reply
thanks
regards
Sandro

for a start , you need to not to use the following 4 words, so edit your last post accordingly


" ME , MY , MYSELF & I"


the correct words are as follows


on the day - THE DRIVER


since that day , as THE KEEPER


so only those 2 words , nothing else


go back and edit that last post asap


and then pm soolin or crabman and ask them to delete your duplicate thread


ps:- you were very , very foolish sending them the ticket you paid for


you should have sent a photocopy, or scanned it and sent a photo or scanned image as proof, not the original paid for ticket

The_Deep

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and another company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each year). They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

Hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned.

The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.

and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind they will be out of business by Christmas.
