UKPC - PCN

OK. Well unless the signs are awful this will be lost at POPLA, like I said. Ignore it.

Noted on that!
And should it go to court...have ones like this been successful?

We almost always win or see claims discontinued. There is zero risk in defending a parking claim.

Back again and will see where this one goes

Hi everyone, I’m new here, but not new to receiving parking fines, being a plumber it’s a normal part of life I have accepted. 

Come across this thread while searching for information on UKPC. 

Have a similar pcn not parked within the white line. 

Previously the consensus was you ignore all private land charges, I have noticed this has changed over the years and challenging them is more popular. 

Maybe because they are now more often taken at small claims court? Need more information in this regard.

Yes, UKPC are very litigious, so you must update your address with any parking firm you had a PCN from, if you move within 6 years of the PCN.

They are a cinch to beat but you MUST defend if you get a Claim Form. Easy peasy, but vital or you risk CCJs. DO NOT PAY.

You should start a new thread if/when you get a letter of claim followed by N1SDT claim form.  Parking within white lines is essential because otherwise you are just giving the PPCs an easy win (at least an attempt at an easy win!) UNLESS of course there was a badly parked vehicle when you arrived and you were FORCED to park outside the bay or on the lines!

As predicted! POPLA is worse than useless and the IPC's IAS is even worse.

Now for the war...

The Public Consultation is open so pleeease bookmark the thread about it (it's on page one now so no link needed) and do come back this month, in time.

I'm taking a close look this week and we'll walk you through it if needed. I should have all the first post 'how to respond to each question' advice ready by the end of this week.

There are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people won't think of/need focus. Whilst there won't be a template - the survey is for you to reply in your words - but we'll help everyone with what to focus on.

It includes questions about POPLA.

I will look out for it of course! happy to do this!
