in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hello I viewed a property a few weeks ago and there was a camera on the car park for the flats, they have now sent me a “Parking Charge” not a PCN.

Within 14 days £60. 28 days £100 then after that a £10 admin charge gets added and they go to debt recovery agent?

Thank you in anticipation!

    your thinking about this the wrong, stop thinking about the amounts, use this appeal to beat them , use their appeals portal
    This is an appeal by the registered keeper - No driver details will be given. Please do NOT try the usual Group Nexus Trick of asking for driver details in order to get around the fact your NTK does not comply with POFA. As there is no keeper liability then liability cannot flow from the driver to the keeper and thus is an auto win @ POPLA. Please therefore cancel the notice or issue a POPLA code where you will auto withdraw

    Make sure your MP is aware of the long standing private parking problem and Govt must protect motorists from this industry's greedy nasty behaviours.

    • email your MP, easy with Smoof's template letter (change to suit your situation)
    • sign/share petition demanding re-launch of Govt-backed Parking Code

    The bit you are 'not seeing' is the name of the parking company.
    Please re-read the thread title.   ;)
