CPM rejection letter

spender1958

Question  I parked in a bay in a residential estate ,in a visitor bay  with a visitor parking permit,  My pick up is just longer than the parking bay and I have been fined for basically being outside the bay,  I appealed and said it not my fault the bays are to small,   They rejected this and want £100,    I have read that unless theres a POPAL number on the rejection letter then the rejection and the fine in invalid,and I can ignore it,     is this true ?

No, that's stupid 'advice' whoever told you that?! 

No doubt that's some rubbish advice from the CAB or whoever thinks that all parking firms are BPA AOS members and that all offer POPLA.

You need to read the NEWBIES thread, please read it,.  Top of this forum.  UKCPM are not in the BPA AOS.  Please don't tell us that there is a BPA rectangle logo on the signs, please read the NEWBIES thread that already tells people about that as well, and it explains what 'PLAN A' is, in every case (and it's not appeal). 

You can't ignore UKCPM because they sue people (we win, but even so).

It's not a fine , it's an invoice

Nothing makes a private PCN invalid

Popla was never an option

So please read that newbies thread near the top of the forum

I'm afraid parking an oversized vehicle in spaces designed for standard cars is asking for trouble. Why do people express surprise?  You can't get a quart into a pint pot!

You will always be dogged by this while you have such a vehicle. Righteous indignation isn't the answer, or the resolution.

ideally the OP needs the new MHCLG CoP to include minimum bay sizes for parking bays, but that isnt a job for this forum, more for an MP to get onto the MHCLG and include in the new CoP due next year ( too late for this saga though )

It is not a fine, and this is stretching it a bit. read this

Correct, it's probably the local council there is a policy to try to limit car ownership in this country with minimal parking spaces, developers are therefore cramming what they can into the space they have, they also don't want commercial vehicle on new estates.

Your vehicle is I'm afraid not welcome, of course that doesn't help traders or tradesmen either but everyone is fair game to a dodgy greedy PPC.
