    Two good links TD, I'm sure the OP will have a better understanding of their position after reading. :T
    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.

    Hi The Deep,

    Thanks very much for your time and useful informations, my lease says:
    If we provide parking bays you can use one of these for a private car or motor bike as long as it can be used on the road legally. If you or anyone you live with want to park any other kind of vehicle, or an additional car or bike, you must get our permission in writing first. We can withdraw our permission at any time as long as we give you seven days notice.

    We will take no responsibility for any vehicles parked on Trust property in any circumstances. You or your visitors park there at your own risk.

    Thanks

    Is this a Housing Association and/or a registered charity? If so complain to the Charity Commissioners. Charities should not be consorting with this scum.

    Hi The Deep,

    It is housing association, I have complained to them but they've said you have to sort it out with Park Direct, not much help?!

    Thanks

    Tell the HA that this ticket may well attempt to interfere with your rights under Landlord and Tenants, possibly a criminal offence. If so, they could be taken to court, along with the PPC as they are jointly responsible for their agent's actions.

    Have you complained to your MP yet?

    Hi The Deep,

    I have sent an email to HA also to my MP with your advice as what to say, will post it here as soon as I receive a response.

    Happy New Year to all of you and I'm very grateful for the great job you're doing it.

    Excellent news. Please publish the letter from the HA here. You have no reason whatsoever to keep these details confidential.

    Your post regarding the wording of your lease makes no mention that you are required to use a permit scheme, nor does it say a third party can issue charges for not displaying said permit, nor does it say a third party can take you to court.

    It all comes down to primacy of contract, the contract being your lease/AST.

    Your HA should know they cannot bring in another company to interfere or change the rights you already have to park a motor vehicle.

    There has been a rather surprising development. I hope that the OP shares it here.
