ZZPS & SABA Park Services Ltd

Hi ,

I have recently received a letter from ZZPS relating to a parking charge at a regus office in Cardiff Gate.
I had parked slighlty up on the kerb by a corner at the Regus office in which I work and I then had a parking notice put on the car. I appealed the decision, saying I hadn't obstructed anyone as cars were still able to pass by etc
I appealed the decision online via the SABA website but never heard anything back until I had a letter from ZZPS saying I now owed a Parking charge of £50 plus admin fee of £70.
They have cited the usual don't ignore this letter and (Parkingeye v Beavis).

I am just wondering what should I do , as I never received a decision via letter or email and now this letter has just sprung up.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Copy your documents, including your initial appeal, to the BPA and complain that SABA have not provided you with a POPLA code. Make it clear to the BPA that this was not a railway car park (where SABA have managed to wriggle out of providing POPLA codes).

They have cited ... (Parkingeye v Beavis).

They seem confused. Beavis V PE concerned an overstay in a shopping Centre car park which offered free parking for 2 hours.

Presumably you were authorised to park there. It looks to me as though they are trying to scam you.

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams so complain to your MP.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

I notice that some of the signs, (March 2017), threaten clamping. If the PPC did clamp anyone they might find them yourselves in hot water.

had a letter from ZZPS saying I now owed a Parking charge of £50 plus admin fee of £70.

LOL, as if anyone with half a brain doesn't sniff out that's a scam! An 'admin fee' added to a parking charge to more than double it, how normal (not).

Do as Umkomaas says, and even if SABA/Indigo show an email or letter you never got, you won't be paying this scam PCN.

Next time, don't go appealing blabbing who the driver was. You threw away 100% winning appeal point for POPLA stage the minute you admitted to driving.

ZZPS as usual talking utter rubbish. What a load of cr*p about the admin fee off £70, courts don't allow it.

They are a bit behind the times with a mindset of dementia
Parking Eye v Beavis has no bearing on you.
