CPM postal parking charge - template check

Options
Hi guys,

I'm just checking for a friend: he’s had a PCN from CPM with a badly taken, barely legible photo of his car being parked in an unauthorised parking space, at 7:30 at night. I imagine it was a private space?

As CPM are an BPA and a IPC member, is it the 1st template (black) from the Newbies thread that he should punt off to them? His 26th day of having received his ticket is Thursday/Friday this week.


Thanks in advance.

    You need to determine whether CPM are AOS members of BPA or IPC.

    Guidance on how to do that is in post #1 of the NEWBIES sticky thread.

    Having found that out, it will be obvious which template to send.

    Thanks! Unless it's stairing me in the face, CPM don't appear on either register?! Although I'm pretty sure their logo's featured on his PCN?

    Is the full name of the company Countrywide Parking Management Ltd?

    If so, they are IPC AOS members.

    The full name is always best - at least once.

    Thanks KeithP, found them now, they're IPC registered. Couldn't see them at all on the BPA list, despite the BPA logo appear appearing on their litrature... maybe someone should tell them? :p

    So with their IPC membership in mind, the advice is to wait a month or so for the Notice to Keeper to arrive and then appeal that with the black template?

    read this explanation about memberships and logos

    UK CPM are IPC members , so use the IPC IAS for adr , that is all you need to know, and the fact its a kangaroo court so dont bother appealing to the IAS after UK CPM reject your initial appeal (its a paper excercise only for now)

    I would wait for the NTK and appeal as keeper using the black text , within 21 days of the NTK arriving

    if this was a postal notice that arrived weeks ago , that IS the ntk, so appeal it asap

    after that its ignore anything except an LBC or an MCOL

    a badly taken, barely legible photo

    This is an indication of UKCPM's self-ticketing operation. Someone has got out their phone to take a pic in the hope of a commission. Such sad gits.

    Cripes, this is the only thing he's had through from them and it was received around 24 days ago. I'll get him to send in the black template then as soon as possible. I'm glad I dropped by ;)

    Is there a web form or email address for appeals that someone could kindly link me? I don't want him even wasting a stamp on these muppets... thanks.
