Ravenside Retail Park, Chesterfield

My partner parked on this site earlier in the week, didn't read the signage which states that parking is only free if you remain on the retail park which she didn't, had a UKCPS ticket on the windscreen on return to the vehicle, I've had success before with getting these cancelled but this is a new scenario for me, what our next move?

    Have you read the newbies?  Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, sometimes it can lead to cancellation., 


    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, and darfts have beenopened for publc consulatation,

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these companies, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

    Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, under new legislation but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

    So your encouraging the guy to lie? 

    Nothing wrong with that, politicians do it all the time,  Diplomats and civil service are routinely instructed to lie.  

    9/10 of these tickets are issued correctly, 

    The other way round surely.   Thus industry prys on the vulnerable, the gullible, and the poorly educated.   The only thing I agree with in your post is that the hassle is disproportionate
    So you don’t agree that many of the regulars are fighting a personal war through visitors to this forum? 
    Christ, your leader has racked up 88,400 posts, many of which are in the small hours of the morning.
    Reported as you're definitely a ppc shill. 
    ‘Reported’ 🤣 for what? Having a difference of opinion? There is nothing to say that you must have no respect for a private landowners rights to partake in this forum, so good luck with that 👍

    For quite obviously being a ppc shill. There's forum rules about that as you know.
