Appealed multiple tickets via the IAS

Options
Hi All,

I have received 4 parking tickets form UK Car Park Management Ltd with the reason of reason of "Not Displaying a valid permit". I have appealed all the tickets to the Parking Management and as you know they have rejected all the appeals with the same reason.

However,
I had a valid parking permit 
The parking permit was valid 
You can clearly see the parking permit on the parking ticket (see pic) 
The car was parked in the parking bay ( as stated on the signage) 


So I went and appealed the ticket through the IAS and there was a lot of back and forth between myself and 
Car Park Management where they kept repeating the same message and also they have added new reason that I'm not allowed to park in the bay (despite their signs says).

However when I did the appeal through the IAS I have appealed all 4 through 1 appeal where I have stated:

I'm appealing the below tickets that I have been receiving unlawfully.
- PCN XXXX
- PCN XXXX
- PCN XXXX
- PCN XXXX

As all 4 appeals are the same and it is my 1st time using IAS. at the end it went for Adjudicator's Decision, the decision was: 

"I am a little confused in this case, but that goes in the Appellant's favour. The Appellant's vehicle clearly has a permit displayed, and the operator states that this permit is only valid for parking on the roadway, but nowhere on the permit does it say this. To add to the confusion, all the signage on this site states that vehicles must be parked in a marked bay, and that there is no parking on the roadway allowed.
Having reviewed all the evidence submitted, I am not satisfied that the operator has established that the Parking Charge was properly issued and therefore this appeal is allowed."

Now fast forwards 8 months later, Im got 3 letters from Debt Recover Plus to pay for 3 of the 4 tickets that I have appealed via the IAS. I have called Debt Recover Plus and they  asked me for a copy of the appeal from IAS to send to them and they will take me to CCBC, id I do not pay.

Now I'm not sure what to do here, whether I should send them the outcome of the IAS as I'm worried they might see the info and may use it to their advantage and to make the tickets stick. Or I should Ignore it and wait for CCBC and do all the SAR, MCOL Defence,n180 form etc.. 


Thanks in advance and apologies for the long story.

    No drp wont take you to court.  They lie
    Stop ringing them!
    You failed to log 4 seperate appeals which was a schoolboy error
    Do nothing unless you get a court claim

    You couldn't do it that way. Only one was removed.  Schoolboy error indeed.

    Come back when you get a LBC but please read the NEWBIES thread first (second post only).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
    Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD
  • What info are you worried about from the IAS appeal that they could use to their advantage to make it stick? I think if UKCPM are daft enough to take you to court you ask the court to consolidate all remaining claims into one and use the evidence that even the far from independent IAS found in your favour (they proudly state they allow only 4% of appeals so yours must have been pretty conclusive. 
  • Thank you so much everyone, 

    I will keep you posted with the latest update🙏. I will definitely go through NEWBIES thread first (second post only).

    Cheers
