Parking notice on private land-urgent advice needed

Paulamc82

Hi
I am just wondering if someone could provide me with some advice. I have an NHS lease car and received a red warning notice on my car for parking on private land. It from a company called my parking charge. The card states ‘document emclosed’ (No document present) and ‘this is not a parking charge notice’. However on reverse it’s asking me to access website and make myself know within 5 days and pay a liable charge.
Does this mean I have received a charge? I’m so confused by concerned as this is a lease car and do not want my trust receiving debt letters?

the confusion they cause with those notices is deliberate smoke and mirrors


as mentioned above, read that NEWBIES thread and espcially read about notices from myparkingcharge too


and no blabbing about who was driving either

actually , no blabbing at all , await debt collection letters , then ask the DVLA who asked for info

the chances are no matter what you write to vcs , they will not care and simply farm it out to court

the problem with this is you have a lease vehicle

so they are likely to write to the RK after getting the details from the DVLA

you should inform this RK to name you as HIRER or as LESSEE (not as driver) if this happens , that way you get a pcn in your own name , an NTH, this stops the trust getting the debt collector letters, as they will come to you instead

read the edna basher posts about lease cars, in the NEWBIES thread

and bear in mind that VCS are IPC members so there is no POPLA

however I suspect there will not be a NTK , just debt collection letters

Thank you for your advice. From reading threads I have contacted my HR who deal with my lease car and requested for any correspondence to be forwarded to myself.
I have been on the website to appeal, but when entering the serial number given on the ref attention note, and car registration, the website is stating they have no record of details or offence. Could this be an error on there part or could there be a delay in registering the offence on the site?
I am conscious the warning card advises response within 5 days.

They don't like dealing with appeals. It will be a "technical issue" that is clearly your fault if you complain.

It is the will of Parliament that these scammers be put out of business.

Hopefully that will take place in the near future. The Bill has passed through the HOC without hitch, and goes to the Lords soon. In the meantime involve your MP, the poor dears are buckling under the weight of complaints about these scammers. Read this one which I wrote earlier

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors. Is has been suggested by an MP that some of these companies may have connections to organised crime.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, (especially Smart}, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week), hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers.

Sir Greg Knight's Private Members Bill to curb the excesses, and perhaps close down, some of these companies passed its Third Reading in late November, and, with a fair wind, will become Law next year.

All three readings are available to watch on the internet, (some 6-7 hours), and published in Hansard. MPs have an extremely low opinion of the industry. Many are complaining that they are becoming overwhelmed by complaints from members of the public. Add to their burden, complain in the most robust terms about the scammers.
