    It's usually self ticketing done by someone in the shops who gets paid a bounty.  That's meant to already be disallowed by the BPA but is certainly banned in the new Code of Practice.

    Could be as you describe, CCTV cameras watched by UKPC.  All very predatory.

    Well done ...... Plan A is far superior than a scam parking ticket

    Very good news!

    To help others caught at the same place, please can you add this success to the thread linked early in the NEWBIES thread, called Successful Complaints About PPCs.

    Please can you also tell us which retail park and who people should email?
