Ticket issued 29th sep 2019.

Hi I received a parking ticket from PCUK on the above date, followed the guideline and sent template appeal email on 25/26th day but still nothing?

Could I assume they're not going to pursue it? Since they have no grounds!

TIA.

    No , do not assume anything at all , it's dangerous

    If you have appealed , they have 6 years to pursue the invoice through civil court

    No, they do not need grounds, they are fraudsters.

    [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.
