Ukpc

Battman

Bit long winded, bare with me.
Received a ticket from ukpc basically ive put my permit down by the handbrake whilst having the windows open you know the rest! Ive not put it back on the dash. Come down the next morning to a ticket bang in the middle of the windscreen! Fantastic. Thought id just act on it so a few days pass i appeal it ,send them a picture of my permit in the eye-line of the fine some hero has presented me with. They get back to me telling me the ticket has been issued correctly, to which i respond i wont be paying ( frustrated move ) couple weeks pass same thing happens hold my hands up my bad, so the hero presents me with another ticket. I am wound up one with myself for not getting a wallet sorted for the permit and two i live here we have established this already but here we go again. So i just email to say look im not paying you can see the permit all be its not displayed brilliantly but its there im a resident, leave me alone basically. Couple weeks pass the debt collection letter comes through the door, amazing just what i need! It winds me up so i call the debt people to explain the situation. Not interested what so ever speak to ukpc, like trying to contact someone on mars. I just leave it until the debt mob start calling me up i have no trade with them and decide to speak with my property manager. At first she says theres nothing she can do but once i put it on her about all the problems they are causing she decides to help. The wardens have been seen knocking on some people's doors telling them to move before they give them the ticket which is a nice touch but no one come and knocked on my flat door and told me ! The property manager comes back to me says they wont take back on the charges so i have a little moan up now magically they have reduced the price. I said im willing to pay one of the fines at the first price issued to meet in the middle but seems to be no agreement. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on how i should go about things from here on.

If you are using a phone, don't, as you won't be able to read my signature below or read the info in the NEWBIES thread & the links there.

Please do put 4 or 5 paragraph breaks in your post, so we can help you.

Looks like you're at the "ignore the debt collection letters" stage. Check out post #4 on the NEWBIES thread.

Just make sure that you don't ignore the LBC letter - you will need to do something with that one.

UKPC are fraudsters and scammers and have been caught on a previous occasion doctoring time stamps on their photo' evidence.

Ignore debt collectors. They have absolutely no powers to do anything except send you poor quality bog paper.

Never ever 'phone a parking scammer or any of their underlings.

Is this at a residential property? If so, what does your lease/AST say, or indeed not say about parking or parking permits.

If you appealed to the scammers, did you get a PoPLA code? If so, did you use it or is it still valid?

Carry Blutack in your glovebox to secure it and any Pay&Display tickets in future.

Push the MA to try harder for you. UKPC usually reduce it to £15 when the person is a permit holder, which you might decide to pay.

I wouldn't, but if not, then you may well be sued over these and you will need to spend time working on a defence. We do win almost every case.

Why not opt out of the permit scheme, as no resident has to put up with this?
