Not lying - he said he wouldn't cancel the ticket not that he couldn't.

As well as being awkward about giving out the new (unneccessary) permit....I wonder if he gets a backhander from the PPC for every ticket issued or paid?

It's completely vindictive. There is no nuisance to anybody if the car is parked with the old permit or a new one.

I have to admit I wondered whether he is getting a backhander too.
I read somewhere that PPC's are not allowed to give commission for reporting cars, but while researching the PPC I read an old post somewhere where the PPC had faxed someone's office offering £10 for every car reported for parking without permission in their car park.

Is it recommended that I appeal the PCN to the PPC and then appeal to POPLA?

Only if POPLA' is offered rather than the IAS. You'll probably lose though. Waste of your time. Hence my earlier advice.  You can just say 'see you in court' then ignore it.

Good afternoon Apollo18,
I, too, immediately wondered if that particular director has a 'pecuniary interest', politely put.  It is a deliberate refusal to cancel what should not have been issued anyway .

Yes, POPLA is offered. If I would likely lose at POPLA then would the chances be of winning in court?

(A reminder that the PCN was issued to my young tenant not to me, but I agreed to help with any appeals and I will pass on all advice for the tenant to make a decision in which direction to proceed).

Id tell the director you will be getting this firm removed forthwith and he can say bye bye to the kick backs

Thanks, I would love to but how would I be able to get the firm removed if the directors have signed an agreement with them and have no intention of removing them?

What the directors have done is of no consequence to you .

 It is their mess to sort out, not yours

Questions:

1.  Who appointed the management company?
2.  Does this management company have a name?
3. As a resident what right do you have to this land - as in deeds etc?
4. How long has the parking company been operating on the land,  and has their always been a permit scheme?
5. Was there a ballot of the residents with regards to introducing a permit scheme, and if so then what precentage voted and how many in favour of such a scheme?
   

It all depends upon the above circumstances

In short with most, but not all residential cases you will have pre existing rights to do something- ie use a bit of land to park a car , this pre existing right can not be altered or taken away at a whim( see q5)

One thing, again depending upon the answers to the questions - is that you must be pro active in fighting this, and making your objections known.

Again depending upon your rights to the land etc, something like this?? ( rough guide only)

Dear Director Re parking charge notice  XXXX

 As Principal you are jointly and severally liable for the actions of your agents, and as such, and as as a resident of (location) I have instructed you to cancel the parking charge notice issued by your agents Flashpark. and i am a little confused by your inability to perform such a simple task.

 As it stands, through your actions of appointing an un regulated predatory parking company you have already caused a great deal of stress and worry on my part, as well as consuming a great amount of my valuable time and energy.

 As a gesture of goodwill, i will be willing to forgo my expenses in dealing with this issue, which you have created on the condition that the parking charge notice is cancelled with immediate effect.

 Furthermore, and for the avoidance of all doubt, I have only been displaying a permit out of courtesy and not out of any obligation, as i have pre existing rights to use this land for the purposes of parking a vehicle/vehicles which existed prior to ( date when permit scheme was introduced) and as such i am now formally withdrawing from the permit scheme .

  If you want any permits to be returned then this can be arranged by sending a stamped and  addressed envelope to ( address)

 Should any vehicle that i authorise to use the land in question receive a parking charge notice  in the post as a result of the registered keepers details being obtained form the DVLA then  processed and stored then i will take this  as breach of the General Data Protection  Regulations (GDPR) as there will be no just cause to access , store or process such data for which the director of the managemetn company will be jointly ( and possibly personally) liable for

 I trust i have your understanding on this important matter and I look forward to hearing from you with a positive response.
