Parking in own space/IAS as Kangaroo court/complaint to MA and freeholder

The CAB service, as far as I know was written with advice from the trade association that seeks to ensure the private parking industry can make as much money as possible by pursuing motorists and making people think there are fines and should be paid etcFrom the Plain Language Commission:

Why on earth does he want to pay? Has the penny not dropped that there is no risk, if the Forum is followed? Yes, ok if you lost at Court you would pay a little more than the discount 'bribe' but that is all. You would though have fought back against scammers that want to rob you, and the MA who are letting you down.KoalaMSEF said:
No. He tried to pay yesterday and I stopped him. The deadline is next Thursday. I'm afraid I can't stop him much longer.Coupon-mad said:I hope your OH has not paid? Don't let him pay. Please can you show us (minus names & email addresses) the email from the CAB that wrongly advised this rubbish?
"Option 1.5 - pay and small claim court (CAB's advice)."
Ludicrous. Just so wrong. I'd like to see that please or was it an adviser telling you the wrong thing verbally?
Fired up another complaint to MA. Our solicitors have agreed to speak to MA for clarification this morning, as apparently, during the conveyancing, our solicitor was told, the particular parking bay is NOT under control but any surrounding area is. Somebody has lied in the process.
CAB's advice is out there in their website. I can't post link now as I'm a newbie at this forum. The page is named - Appealing a parking ticket - citizens advice.
CAB's web chat went straight into debt. When I said this was not about debt, she kicked me out. So Never went back to it after.
You say you have it in writing that the conveyancer said they cannot control your demised space. I am not legally trained, but it does seem to me that that alone would probably win if ever it got to Court. Moreover, I believe that if it appeared in a strong defence , there would likely be a discontinuation.
The alternative is to be bullied into paying an unfair charge AND as @Half-way said by paying accept the situation and then that stick can be used against you any time they feel like it. Don't you want "quiet enjoyment" of your premises ?The pen is mightier than the sword ..... and I have many pens.6 -
You OH needs to read the advice on here
There is no deadline. Stop thinking of it is as such
Its your property.5 -
That CAB page is so wrong on so many levels. Citizens Advice even call it a fine.
Sigh....
What are they talking about with the daft advice to 'make two claims' Whaaat?!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:

Our solicitors said this morning they are writing to MA and will let me know once they receive any response. I will continue to send complaints to MA every two days for failing duty of care, breach of contract, and vicarious liability due to their contractor's unlawful behaviours towards us. Will update if there is any progress. Many thanks everybody. Really appreciated!Trainerman said:

Please post their reply. They have to update any address when instructed to do soKoalaMSEF said:
Thanks! OH tried to update our address with the parking company and they dared to say it was DVLA thing (!!!) Oh God! Who are those people?!Half_way said:If not since do already, take a look at UKPC Vs Davey, and point your solicitors to it5 -
OH needs to instruct the DPO of the PPC to erase their data and replace it with the current address for service. Make sure you use the word I have highlighted as it has a specific meaning where data handling is concerned.KoalaMSEF said:

If they have the address they got from the DVLA, then guess where they will send a court claim, knowing it is the wrong one.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.

I can see what you mean, mostly but you need to have a stern word with your spill chucker (spell checker)!Half_way said:do not insert any circumstances pay, it it is your parking space.
tell the management they must cancel, and stop subletting your shredder to the bandits if £100a day to an un regulated parking company that is a strawberry to your lease.
your expect then to take immediate action to rectify this as and if they do then as a gesture of goodwill you may not charge the management company the £100per day that they have been subletting your space for0
