UKPC fine whether to pay

drebee

Hi i've received a windscreen fine from UKPC. Do I have to pay? Can they get my address from DVLA? The fine was for not being parked in bay correctly as I was over the white lines. Must admit didn't realise you could be fined for this, but don't think was my fault as there was a car next to me parked the same, but that had gone when i came back to car and I was being issued with a fine

Hi i've received a windscreen fine from UKPC.

No you haven't. Private firms cannot issue fines. What you've received is an invoice. 

Do I have to pay?

Only if a Judge tells you to. 

Can they get my address from DVLA?

Absolutely. Perfectly lawful.  But you need to circumvent this by following the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, first post, and appeal on day 25/26. 

Must admit didn't realise you could be fined for this,

You can't be 'fined', but you've been invoiced. You need to deal with it. Follow the NEWBIES FAQ sticky.

No blabbing about who was driving either , fatal to your case !!

Appeal as keeper using the blue text template on day 25 , if the V5C log book is in your name !!

The Keeper appeals as advised above. The Driver is not involved and needs to sit in the corner, on their hands, with their mouth taped shut.

Thanks and apologies I've now read the newbies thread and will appeal on day 25/26 using template. Very grateful for this information 👍🤞

I've now had this reply to my appeal using the template which I did on day 26. Not sure now how to proceed. Received this letter on day 45. Any advice appreciated

Ignore it and wait patiently for your appeal refusal letter with a PoPLA code.

You now need to be reading the third post of the NEWBIES thread to discover how to create a winning PoPLA appeal.

They are phishing for driver details , ignore as mentioned above

Come on,  wise up, they are fishing for the driver before they give up and cancel it.

That letter says if they don't hear from you, then they'll send a POPLA code.  What do you THINK You should do, given that's what you want?
