Wee still do not know, is the space on your  deeds or not?  Until you answer this we are in the dark.

Who hired the parking company? they are jointly and severally liable and must also be bought into this, not least to show that you have / are taking all reasonable steps to avoid court action

The Management Company had appointed them but there was a case of double standards as we were excluded from voting on the parking enforcement when they were making the decision and me and several residents were excluded to vote. This is why I phoned the parking company when I first saw the parking signs and was surprised

me and several residents were excluded to vote.

You must be able to report the Managing Agents to some regulator for that, if they deliberately excluded you and others and if you are all leaseholders with rights under the Landlord & Tenact Act to be included in the consultation and consensus.

Definitely write a letter/email to the management company asking what grounds it had to exclude you and let it know the harassment you are having because of its actions.  It would be very helpful to know what the response is.  I brought a claim 2 years ago against a management company which was very effective so that would be an option  - but you need to give the MC an opportunity to explain first - and remember to try to remain calm and polite as if you do make a claim, a judge will see everything that you write.  The parking company may have some defence if it can prove it was acting with authority (hope that is not the case obviously).

Sorry, I am still in the dark. Despite several requests, we still do not know whether you own this space, i.e. it is om your deeds,  or is part of the communal area. and is allocated to you.  This makes a huge difference in what our advice will be.

Most MAs are members or ARMA

ARMA don't take complaints 

https://arma.org.uk/leaseholders/complaints-about-a-member

shows the complaints procedure. Just been through it with our old MA and the Ombudsman

Like wading through treacle

OP

Your tale is indeed confusing. Can we confirm if you own or rent your property? If you are a tenant you would be excluded from a vote.

The allocated parking space was paid £15k additional and is shown on the title plan which is at land registry details and is registered on my name.
