UKPC are fraudsters, read this and be sure to bring it to the judge's attention if this gets to court.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP after the election, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work.
Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, 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.[/FONT]You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -

And please please please no post asking about UKPC's tired old response asking who was driving. Please spare us, just read other UKPC threads and come back at POPLA stage.

Just to update everyone, I received all the info from the SAR back but before I’d even had chance to look through it all, I also received a letter saying that they have cancelled the charge!!
Another victory against the scammers!
Thank you to all who contributed advice in this case!0 -
