Thank you again coupon-mad, I have sent this response and will await reply. I have also taken your advice from Slithy and sent a request on the site asking for this information. I will let you both know the response. This community is incredible thank you.

Is it worth asking Greenwich Council if they have ever (especially around the dates concerned) allowed any other company or body to enforce parking restrictions on that land, or in any other way handed over control to someone else?

Do we know if the land in question is adjacent to some other piece of land that is run as a private parking area?

So I have recieved my FOI request from Greenwich Council and received the below response:


Dear Mr


Freedom of Information Request: FOI 35445
Thank you for your request dated 23rd December 2019 in which you ask:


I would like to know if you have ever authorised any private parking
companies permission to issue PCN's to vehicles for parking on Peartree
Way (SE10) in the last 24 months?. If so can you please provide the dates
that you allowed this.


Our response is as follows:


The Council has not authorised any private parking companies to issue PCNs
in this location.
If you have any queries about this correspondence, please contact me,
quoting the reference number above.


Yours sincerely,

Jackie Jago
Head of Corporate Services
Communities & Environment
Royal Borough of Greenwich


Thanks again for this idea I would not have thought of it alone. It's just further evidence to use gaainst them that what they are doing to me is illegal.

Brilliant!

Send that to girlie's name at Gladstones, and tell her you require that Gladstones pass this information to their friend on the next desk, at the IPC, and that it is Gladstones' duty to report the parking firm AOS member to the IPC (LOL!) for ticketing on Council land, illegally, and lying to Gladstones that they were so authorised.

So I just wanted to issue the biggest thank you to you coupon-mad. All seems to have gone quiet from their side, they never sent me the requested apology that I (you) asked for. I could not have done it without your help and you have saved me over £320. Please see attached PDF which shows emails that the council released to me from a further FOI (Thank you The_Slithy_Tove for this suggestion). It's hard to believe that without this forums help I would be £320 lighter which the emails between the parking firm and the council show they should never have been enforcing. It's quite unbelievable people like this can get away with it, particularly the outright lies that these cowboys 'legal teams' can say to get money out of people.

I have not forwarded these attached emails to girlies name at Gladstones, figured don't poke the bear and all that.

But again thank you, if there was any way I could return the favour, i'd do it in a heartbeat. All the best.

1. Send all your evidence to the DVLA and ask them to investigate the unlawful activities carried out by UKCPM at this location.   There will be many other motorists pursued at this location, and many will have paid up. Ask the DVLA to report their findings back to you, remind them that you have rights under the FOI Act to the information. 

2. Consider issuing a Letter of Claim to UKCPM for a minimum of £500 for the unlawful accessing of your personal data. Read the PaP so you get all your ducks in a row:

in all cases where dvla access was electronic , the location of the site and reason for ticket are not required by the DVLA , no matter what you do or say the dvla will wash there hands and say its down to the parking co.s AOS to watch over . and indeed issue sanction points to any taking The "P"£$%"

now  considering the link  between the "micky mouse club"  and gladstones , do you actually think anything will be done 

the only "point" the IPC will give to the PPC is "shucks you got cought out - more care next  time "
