CPM Formal Demand letter- parking in my own bay

Plot92

Hello All
My first post on here, Need some help please

So on 19/11/2018 I got a parking charge on my windscreen from CPM for not displaying a parking permit. not the first time. This time I had enough for getting fined for parking in my own space (I had a permit but it must of slipped off or something because it was not on the dashboard at that time) .
The parking bay is for my flat but it does state that parking permit must be displayed at all times - fair enough- but I live there, it is my parking bay, I am not obstructing anyone, I'm sure the fine can voided - but no.
I appealed on their website on 23/11/2018 explained everything, even sent a copy of my driving licence with the appeal to prove that I live there etc.
Don't hear anything from them for about two months, on 11/01/2019 they send me a letter (formal demand) basically saying because they haven't heard from me since they rejected my appeal they will charge me £100 now, I got 28 days to pay, if I do not then up to 160 . I have not received a letter from them, regarding my appeal being rejected, so how am I supposed to know, I phoned them today to raise this point and they said they have sent me an email with a copy of rejected appeal etc on 13/12/2018.
My email inbox has nothing in it , she told me to check my junk emails which I did, but they get deleted every 30 days according to outlook email,
So now they said if i want to appeal I have to send them a letter so they can provide me with info to how appeal to IAS.

The whole thing is just draining , back and forth and specially as it is my parking bay.

Never ever 'phone a parking scammer, or any other type of scammer for that matter!

It is not a fine.

What does your lease/AST say, or just as importantly, not say about parking or parking permits.

Who or what says you have to display a permit? Your lease/AST has primacy of contract so that is your starting point.

Have you read the sticky thread for NEWBIES? You need to sit down with a brew or two and get stuck into that as well.
This will explain why you should NOT make an IAS appeal amongst other things.

Please also complain to your MP about this unregulated scam.

Fruitcake Thanks for your post- i will have to have a look at my lease
But there is a sign in the street, saying that a parking permit should be displayed - a sign by CPM
CPM have been recruited to look after the parking by the house management company.

Coupon-mad

And why did the residents allow that to happen? Opt out, or you will regret it.

The sign doesn't matter - your lease or AST has supremacy over any contractual terms that a private company may try to enforce.
