    As I have paid 5 charges are they gone and if its decided in our favour on any way can we get refund
    There is neither any way of appealing now you've paid, nor is there any prospect of a refund. That's (at least) £300 you've needlessly chucked into a scammers waiting hands.

    Warning - beware Nigerian government officials!

    Hi

    Anna has called me today and I have given her the link to this forum - what happen in relation to - Gladstone’s - did you say ? Be interested to her it is something Anna should know ?
  • Hi,
    I have also received 5 tickets and have followed the advice on this forum and not paid and have just left it after my initial appeal was rejected.
    Does anyone know though if i start getting bailiff letters if this will affect my credit rating?

    Hi,

    Your credit rating cannot be touched unless you go to court, then lose & then fail to pay by the due date.

    I trust everyone is drowning UKPCS in SAR's. Each invoice will attract a new SAR
    Private Parking Tickets - Make sure you put your Subject Access Request in after 25th May 2018 - It's free & ask for everything, don't forget the DVLA :D
  • Thanks for that.
    So from I understand from the advice posted on this forum I suppose should just wait for the threatening letters to come including bailiffs and do nothing untill I see something in the post for court?

    Good. This outrageous scam ticketing needs publicising.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    You won't be getting any letters from bailiffs this side of a court hearing. You might get debt collector letters, but they are not bailiff letters - please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #4 which tells you all about debt collectors.

  • Exact same thing happened to me. I was picking the parents who are disabled badge holders. They were outside waiting for me after they were dropped off via wheelchair. I was still in the car with engine running. I must have been stationary for 1 minute literally. I appealed the ticket via the Zatappeal page and no reply regarding the appeal. Instead it was sent to Debt Recovery Plus with an extra charge. Regret doing the appeal now. :-(
    My next step is a complaint letter.
    Surely this is unethical and therefore not legal. Suggestions please.

    Suggestions please.

    Start your own new thread if you need help. We work on the basis of one topic/situation per thread otherwise it all gets very confusing about who is being replied to.

    How does that matter? Appeals don't work v IPC firms.

    I am pleased to see several cases together on this thread - this is a rare issue where a group thread is working well. At court stage we may have to deal with each person separately but not right now during the pointless appeal stage then keeping ALL letters but ignoring them until court papers, if they ever come.

    Coupon-mad is suggesting we keep all these cases on this one thread similar to the BountyHunter thread for Newcastle Airport, as group action might well emerge and follow.
