Thats a joke, how are they still a BPA member!

Why not? The BPA are just a members club nothing much else, and the only way they get paid is from their scummy members like UKPC

I'd complain to the BPA and show proof that UKPC signed for the appeal, and tell them you received no answer except a DRP letter.

Please now make a real difference - A TASK FOR SEPTEMBER.

The Government is (this month only) consulting about a new statutory code of practice (CoP) and framework to rein in the rogue parking firms.  Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation, and get everyone you know to do the same.

You will need to register to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker, but otherwise it is easy to navigate, and comment upon each section/subsection individually. You can save comments to edit later and or submit comments once you are happy with them.

https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2020-00193#/section

You do not need to register to comment on the enforcement framework which can be found here. It has a link on page 5 to make comments.

At the very least, we say the parking charge level should be £50/£25 or higher level £70/£35, as per Council PCNs in E&W.  

And we say the added fake 'debt recovery' costs are just double counting the cost of letters, and MUST GO because that is unfair and illegal.

Please be heard.  You can bet the hundreds of PPCs will be commenting.

No apologies for repeating this vital 'call for action' to consumers, on every thread this month!

I've completed this now!  thanks

More so, what would the BPA do without their scammers ..... so many now, take heart, when the new code of practice comes in, the BPA code of practice will go in the rubbish bin where it belongs

The BPA is a mmbers club, it is totally partial to PPCs who pay its wages.
