Parking Fine Help Please!

Hello,

I received a PCN back in November for not parking in a marked bay at university. I appealed on the grounds that the uni was hosting multiple events, didn't warn students of this and I was still displaying a valid ticket and was not obstructing anyone or anything. This was rejected. I emailed the university to get assistance but they haven't helped either.

I am now getting letters from zzps (have been for a while) and today received a call that I didn't answer but was apparently from qdr.

What should I do next?

Many thanks!!

    Read Post Four of the Newbies Sticky, then read the rest of the thread.
  • The company is one parking solutions. Shall I keep ignoring? Do they eventually give up!?

    I've read the thread but am unsure which bits I can cling to in this instance as I did appeal etc...

    You can cling to the fourth post in the NEWBIES thread.

    Having read that post, what conclusion did you come to?

    Did you get a PoPLA code with your rejection from the scammers? If so, did you make a second stage appeal to PoPLA?

    Some companies have never done court. Some always do court. They have six years to start a court case if they want, so you must tell them if you move.

  • Yeah, so at the moment it's only been zzps and the one call today which I didn't answer. Only issue is, during the appeal to the uni I did call zzps to freeze the account temporarily. How much damage will that have caused?

    Other than that, shall I keep ignoring?
  • Nope never done a second appeal to popla. Don't know if I got a code, will try and find out. What are one parking solutions record with court?
  • you need to look at the reply to your appeal CAREFULLY and see if there is a POPLa code

    what date did you appeal and what is the date in the refusal letter

    the reply date is important if you are getting harassment from zzps / qdr

    What account?

    The advice here is to never ever 'phone anyone as a 'phone call isn't worth the paper it isn't printed on.

    Luckily for you they are court-shy, and clueless. Let's hope they never change that position as they are so easy to beat at POPLA.

    I have a couple of cases in with POPLA v OPS right now, and 2 other clients who are ignoring court threats from them.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
