Please cna you post what you intend saying to the housing !!!!!!/management company on here first.

a few key points:

Ballot results under landlord and tenants act (other regulars on here will be able to advise further on this )

As principal they are jointly and severally liable for the actions of their agents - this means they are liable for the actions of those who they employ/allow to act on their behalf.

unreasonable it is un reasonable to impose an un regulated parking company and then to demand conditions and fees upon you of which you have no obligation to follow, or to pay as you already have pre-existing rights that can not be altered by a third party

Any permit that has been displayed has only been done so as a courtesy and not as an obligation as you already have pre existing rights to use the space.

You must be pro active, blunt and slightly aggressive in dealing with this, the only acceptable outcome will be the immediate cancellation of all/any parking charge notices , the removal of CPM, and ensuring that no unregulated private parking company is imposed, that would be a ban on any parking company that belongs to either the British Parking Association limited (BPA) or the International Parking Community (IPC) as neither are regulatory authorities, or regulators

And if they are being un co-operative, you could ask them why they are subletting your space/parking rights out to a value of £100/day ( or whatever) and why you have received no payments , as by your calculation they now owe you £ ( cost of parking charge notice) multiplied by number of days they have been subletting your space

 For example - scheme was imposed two years ago which equals 730 days, the space is valued at at least £60 a day ( based on the so called early payment bribe)  730 days at a value of £60/day =£43,800

Just dipping in to confirm I'm eye balling this thread - it might only be once a day - but it will be every day.

Just dipping in to confirm I'm still eye balling this thread (and a couple of others) - it might only be once a day - but it will be every day.

Ok sorry , I have been ill again, but some more  details ,,

Someone at my housing association noticed that 2 of the ''tickets''  had been issued on same day  only 2 hours apart , thats in breach of their contract with CPM of only 1 per 24 hours ,, also I have now received final notice  for non payment by CPM  but apparently thats wrong as appeals for 2 of the tickets still in the system,, also a Debt collection agency   ( Debt recovery plus) has sent me a threatening letter already demanding £850!!  I have pointed out that that is clearly harrasment and outside  legal guidelines  as advised by a friend who has fought private parking companies  before  .

My account manager at Housing association is now aware about all this and is actually appalled with CPM actions ,I have also written a letter with all the info gleaned from this forum ,,CPM are  not replying to her either ???  It also seems a few other  tenants have has similar issues with CPM and we have got together 

The only Good news is CPM have issued me with a new  permit ..

I will go all the way to court with this if I have to

"The only Good news is CPM have issued me with a new  permit .."

Why?  -  is it in any contract with you?  -  as @Half_way previously posted:

"Any permit that has been displayed has only been done so as a courtesy and not as an obligation as you already have pre existing rights to use the space."

in that case tell them to shove the permit up their puckered little r soles, if they have any trouble they can use vaseline or similar.

Surely you already have an unfettered right to park and a right to quiet enjoyment. Unfettered means no requirement to display a permit from an unregulated parking company that was never a party to your property rental agreement.

Is the account manager at the housing association aware that whoever employed the unregulated parking company is jointly liable for the actions of their agent and therefore will be required to attend court to explain why they breached the residents' existing rights to unfettered parking?
If you are a tenant, then the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 has been breached by whoever employed the unregulated parking company if a ballot to amend your lease/tenancy agreement was not carried out in accordance with Part IV section 37 of said Act.

I have made the housing association aware of all the above points , especially about my tenan

cy  etc  , I think they are a bit naive about what ripoffs these so called  big parking companies are ..there was aconsultancy letter by the housing association 2 years ago but never any ballot  because no residents would have agreed to it
