Note I can's reply to your comment being a newbie but I am the owner of the allocated parking space and this is on the head-lease and on land registry details. 
I issued a legal claim for damages against Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd and once the court case is on I will put updates here. I had sent them email of intended legal claim and waited 14 days as I told them that there was no contract with them for parking enforcement for my own allocated parking space when I first saw the parking notices but three weeks later they trespass on it and put the PCN on my car. 
We are a family with young children and were given a parking charge notice for my car that was parked in my own allocated parking space. I had phoned them when I first saw the parking signs and told them that I had never appointed their company to enforce parking in my own allocated parking space and was told I was automatically opted out as I own the parking space. Three weeks later the company put a PCN ticket on my car and when I phoned them and told them I never appointed them they pressured me to send land registry details that contain my personal info so that they will stop the enforcement. Now during the COVID-19 lock-down they sent me a debt collection letter and the debt collection company kept phoning me and note that I am working as I am on the front-line. Even their website mentioned they are closed and the government guidelines said that they should not pursue PCN collection during this period, they are doing so and foremost affecting front-line workers. Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd was given an ASBO by Windsor and Maidenhead Councils and was the first company to be given an ASBO.
I have also set up a petition to make this harassment criminal in this period (once petition is live I put links) after my claim for damages had been filed.

Latest Update
On May 24 2021 I won judgement for tress-pass and loss of income  against Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd for issuing a PCN on my car on my residential parking space.
Their argument was I did not own the car parking space and they had an agreement with the management company in their defence. 
It was clear that they were not properly appointed by the management company and now all residents in my development can consider a claim against them if they issued a PCN on their car

One has to question the intelligence of CPM as they use a legal well known to be incompetent
Had CPM taken advice from a real legal they would have saved a lot of money ?

The days are over for the great Gladstones / IPC / IAS scam

The message to CPM is to seek professional legal advice first before claiming anything. ... otherwise it will cost you a lot of money

We will see just how intelligent CPM are in future ?

Pssst @beamerguy - it's PCM UK. Do you have a Specsavers nearby? 😄

Damn .... I thought for some time my keyboard had dyslexia, have given it a jolly good spanking and edited the posts ... ta

That is brilliant news!

Please can you tell us more - claim number, court, Judge and how much you were granted and how that sum was assessed (please)?  Did you claim for a certain figure and did the Judge re-assess it?  It would be great if you could take a picture of the Order when it arrives, covering up your name but showing the rest of the Order. 

It won't be a transcript of proceedings but it will be a useful Order for others to use in evidence in future.

It was 3 grand as detailed in the OP's other thread which just reported the win. Like you, I think we'd all like to learn more. The costs award is significant.

No, £3,000 was the amount they spent on legal costs!

Oops. Saw the thread title and £3k.

Sometimes 2+2 doesn't equal 7! 🥴

Will do. 
The one thing to be noted on Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd - Was the appointment of the company to do parking enforcement done correctly and is it legal?

I receive the statement of costs from Gladstones solicitors when I had also filed my statement of costs . The defendant had spent £3097 including vat and counsel fee for the hearing.
