Seems that the IPC has decided to copy Coupon-mad

Bear in mind as well, that if they really wanted to, any rogue PPC could mock up a pic of anti-social parking.

We can't mock up our signage photos.

This will end in tears and lost custom:

Why the heck would any retail park owner want the likes of CEL expecting people to input their VRM in order to dare to exceed 30 minutes at a group of several shops?

Why choose the likes of Civil Enforcement Ltd?

Why on earth impose ANPR?

Did the idiots forget how to Google?

Or was it just because it was offered free and no-one signing this useless contract for the landowner engaged their brains and realised what will happen to genuine customers, who will be sued for hundreds... and CEL will gleefully catch out slower/distracted families and old people who will just roll over and pay.

I wonder how this will go:

Parkingeye has almost 20 years of experience working on NHS sites and helping car parks to work more effectively, from cutting down abuse and misuse 

Part of their ongoing support includes a specially trained appeals team to help deal with motorists that may have received a parking ticket and wish to appeal their charge.

Parkingeye retains a high level of compliance for appeals and their services are fully compliant with all British Parking Association guidelines.

As long as it doesn't go to anyone remotely connected to POPLA or IAS.

Not some crumbly old Judge in the pocket of PPC World.
