I Park Services

Hi all

I'm back again, with the first of two PCNs annoyingly.

I've already followed the appeal process with I Park Services however they haven't supplied a POPLA code with their rejection.

Are they part of POPLA? If not, how do you appeal as they've pointed the keeper to the IAS which I know is a kangaroo court.

I Park Services are IPC members so only the Kangaroo Court is offered, not PoPLA.

Plan A is always a complaint to the landowner and your MP.

Failing a cancellation, you are now in ignore mode unless you get a court claim.

Get photos of the site and signage in readiness. Use Google Streetview as well.

Where did the alleged event occur? It might have cropped up here before.

You can ignore the daft £170 threatograms unless you get a court claim.  As the NEWBIES thread explains.

But please come back here for the final Public Consultation (ON THE LEVEL OF PARKING CHARGES AND THE FAKE £70 ADD-ONS) in July if you want to help stop the scammers.

REALLY IMPORTANT THAT LOTS OF VICTIMS RESPOND.

Join us in this campaign in July!

The accompanying DLUHC 'draft Impact Assessment' about the new Code of Practice will hopefully include some welcome damning phrases to quote at LBC stage and in defences.

I've no idea by the way (even though I'm on the Govt Steering Group on this project, the DLUHC are good at giving nothing away) but I am now hoping for a robust and bulletproof statement and final process to signal an end to the worst excesses.

Together, we can stop the rotten parking industry from riding roughshod over the new statutory Code and the charge level caps intended last year, but blocked by the greedy moneymen.

If you are not likely to pop back here every week to check, please set up email alerts for this forum and bookmark this thread (below) as we intend that one of us posts on it when the Government opens the Consultation:

Read only the latest (2022) posts there. The PPCs have blocked the new Code by filing for Judicial Reviews.

Stopped the much welcomed parking code from February 2022, which stated that added £60 or £70 false 'DRA fee' extortion was to be banned and that parking levels would start at £50.  It's all on hold...

Motorists urgently need the statutory Code reinstated and the ban on false 'DRA fees' confirmed, to stop the rot and the toxic litigation culture.

This will be your chance to make a difference, plus other drivers you know (family, friends) who are also fed up with greedy and unscrupulous parking firms and the stranglehold they and their 'legals' have on people.

Coming very soon....and it will be all over the forum for several weeks.  Don't miss it.

Your only chance to change the law.

It was by Rainhill Station, there's a car park behind a pub that requires entering your reg. The driver did, but clearly the machine hasn't worked.

Thanks for your help as always!

See you in August for the Consultation (please!)  regardless of the fact these eejits will reject your 'appeal' because it's a farce.

17.53. I pulled on to the car park, with the intention of parking there so I could go to the restaurant over the road. 

17.54 to 18.00. I spent trying to use the app to pay the parking charge but had difficulty getting a signal or access to the app on my phone. 

18.01. I then went to the pay machine to pay by cash, the machine did not give change and I only had a £10 note. 

18.05. I went back to the car and spoke to the wife who suggested we get change for the machine from the Restaurant over the road.

18.06. We went to the restaurant to get change, they would not change my £10 note.

18.09. I went back to the car and drove off the car park and parked elsewhere.

Whatever time I spent on the car park (16 minutes) was spent trying to get a signal on my phone, trying to use the app, and trying to get change for the machine to pay by cash. 

So yes I did pull onto the car park, but had no way of paying so drove off the carpark and parked elsewhere.

Frustration of contract. Have you received a LoC or a CNBC claim?

@johnh11245, welcome to the forum.

To get the help you are looking for it would be best if you were to start your own thread.
Over the years we have found that trying to deal with the issues of two or more people in a single thread usually leads to confusion.
