    Has anyone gone and looked to see if there are any signs anywhere?
    Its 25 miles away unfortunately.
    However I have been checking google maps/images and I cant see anything. Other than a small sign that says private car park.

    Final paragraph 


    Still doesn't say 'legally obliged to pay as the owner'.
    I am all for writing an appeal using the template, my daughter says she will pay it. Her friends will chip in so £15 each.

    I suppose what I dont want to happen is I do the appeal, I lose and then it costs £100, I will then feel obliged to pay the additional £40.

    But I perhaps think that's what the people who send out these notices rely upon.

    You need to weigh into your decision making process that you won't win any appeal with UKCPM or the IAS second stage appeal and that UKCPM almost always issue court proceedings. Winnable at court, but there will be a workload to handle in research, drafting, evidence collection and ultimately a court hearing.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    And if the person just pays for an easy life they are sponsoring the scam.

    People who paid 'for an easy life' in the last year, actively funded the Judicial Reviews that STOPPED THE LAW CHANGING. This industry is about to be regulated by Government but it was all stopped, and it was people who paid who unintentionally enabled the parking industry to hold the Government to ransom.

    Don't be one of those people.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    If I was driving I do think I would fight this all the way, however I'm not. 
    I think my daughter will have to be one of those people.

    That's a shame. paying these critters means they have funds to attack the disabled, little old ladies etc
    The simple fact is ... if their was no visible sign, they have no defence

    I have emailed the local newspaper to suggest they look into the money making scheme.
    I've written to my MP, to suggest that a display during these difficult cost of living times has just been a money making bonfire bonanza and how can this be allowed to happen.

    I have until Monday to pay so will ponder. 

    I wont drive a 50+ mile round journey to check and photograph signs or lack of.

    But please dont suggest I dont have a backbone, I find that a little ott.

    I know you said it was Bradgate in Leicester, was it Bradgate Park?  Have you tried to find it on Google Maps street view?  Sometimes signs are visible.

    I think you have done as much as you can do for now.
    Of course you have a backbone, you came on here for a start. Sorry for that bad assumption

    You see, we know all about these money scammers and the very dodgy legals they use.   With the help of this forum, especially Coupon-mad, a lady, you will win and collect £95 from the PPC awarded by the court

    Can you post on here the google street pictures

    I appreciate your reply, I haven't got the letter, my daughter has it,  but it was 
     Bradgate St, Leicester.  I think from memory unit 4. I looked on Google street maps and couldn't see anything.
