ES Parking Enforcement NTK - Interesting Private Land Issue

I don't see a problem with my name being on display. Do you see a problem with my name being on display?

I foresee a potential problem with the parking company being able to relate this thread to a particular parking incident.

It appears that you see that too, otherwise why did you blank out the PCN number?

The parking companies are known to trawl this forum just waiting for people to trip themselves up, and can try and use information gleaned from these posts against you.

Good thing my name isn't on display on the letter then isn't it

dkl_uk

Yep.

Nothing I can do about that.

KeithP

Well done, I see you have now updated that dropbox file.

Your further attention is needed:

I think you're mistaken. My name is nowhere on my Dropbox.

But thanks for putting that picture there, for any unscrupulous parking company to look at.

KeithP

You're welcome. Don't take me for an idiot.

dkl_uk

Not a problem. Now how about some useful tips on the LBA?

Posting the update again because it's been buried under off-topic replies.

I received an LBA today, however, I have already written direct to ES Parking Enforcement's head office due to them increasing the ticket charge to £125 while it was under dispute with the IAS.

Timeline of events:

• Letter received from lease company about a ticket I had no idea I'd got.
• Went to dispute online, transpires the ticket was given while my car was left in a "no stopping at any time" zone for 120-180 seconds while I walked into and back out of my employer's parking garage.
• Disputed with ES Parking: Declined.
• Disputed with IAS: I attached images of the car arrival and departure (3 minutes is not enough time for the charge to be enforceable as far as I'm aware), emails from the landowner and my employer stating they didn't want the ticket persued, my blue badge, and a 1,000 word document because the IAS have disabled the ability to paste text into their dispute box.
• Dispute refused because the word document never went through, so the adjudicator threw it out.
• The very day I received the refusal I also received a letter from ES Parking telling me the ticket was now £125. I already knew it would go from £60 to £100 as part of the IAS appeals process, but now they were charging more for non-payment.
• I sent a letter to their head office. I photographed the letter and the receipt. No response.
• Now I have the LBA.

So what now?

KeithP

Certainly.
