UKPC parking ticket for being over 10 minutes, I am disabled, appeal ignored.

Excellent outcome (well nearly, apart from BPA attitude) but at least it IS cancelled!  Well done.

Fruitcake

Well done.

Hopefully things will get better when the new mandatory parking code of practice is introduced next year, but the BPA has already told its members the parking companies should start implementing changes now.

You and your lovely husband should both complain to your MP (separate complaints) if you haven't already done so, telling her/him about all the problems you have and discrimination you have suffered.

Hello Fruitcake

we will do this. We have interviews this week for new PAs. So I will wait till the weekend, so I can considerate on the emails to our MP. 

I would like to try help make this stop.

Go to the UKPC website as if you were going to pay the ticket, you should see the current status of the ticket. Tell us what it says. 

That was good idea, I got hubby to help me do that!

In tiny writing it says it has been cancelled.
which is good! 

I am glad I don’t have to do a annoying POPLA appeal. They are hard work. 

I would like to know if there is anything I can do, to try stop these things happening to disabled people?

Nice one, that's one pesky monkey off your back. As you say, saves lengthy appeal drafting for POPLA. 

Why not respond to the BPA and send them photos/videos you already have, showing the extent of your problems and why you need extensive adjustments (to which you are legally entitled) when parking. 

Their dismissive and ill-informed response, supporting the PPC in 'squeezing' you for a 30 secs 'overstay' beyond the 10 minute grace period is totally inadequate and totally unacceptable!  They should be so utterly ashamed of themselves, their PPC and their woeful attempt in making excuses for them. 

Shameless.

I received this letter today in post.

Umkomaas

Does the job, but what weasel words. They should be ashamed of themselves!

Well done Stacey. We are all glad you found us as. Well everyone that is except the parking companies.

Hopefully you won't need our help again, but always feel free to pop on the forum for a chat.

Best regards to you and your lovely husband.

Fruity.

Well done a good result.

It's the likes of UKPC that Sir Greg Knight's was all about.  The new code addresses all the problems which for years, the BPA have ignored

The parking industry and their member clubs only have themselves to blame

I have recently got a similar parking ticket to this one, except the carpark I parked in had a 2 hour limit and the blue badge allows 3 hours and I was in there for 2 hours 10 minutes. I have used this carpark for many years, unfortunately they have installed CCTV cameras in the last few weeks without me knowing. If I pay the fine within 14 days its £50.00, after the 14 days it goes upto £95.00. If I appeal the ticket and am unsuccessful will I still have the option to pay the £50.00 charge. Well done Stacey on winning the appeal.

You might just have been commenting on @stacy81's success but if you want advice in your own right, you could start a new discussion.  When/if you start a new thread tell us the car park and if it is council or private.
