in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hi

Ok I have tried to read the newbies thread on old or new fines,however I have a problem with my software so I am unable to read this currently, and I cannot read this on my phome so my only option is to post to see if I can get any swift responses....apologies

UKPCS have sent a letter today, all correct details, name address etc, except that I was in a different town when they are saying I was there, I popped in for a takeaway coffee and then left, they are saying I was there for longer than the stated timings!!

Do I ignore the letter?? Or do I have to take some sort of action as do not want a CCJ they are not a member of the BPA so I'm not sure what to do

TIA
I love a Bargain :beer:

    If you were pakring fine, then why have they given you a pakring charge notice?

    Was this a window ticket?
    why did you get a ticket?
    what type of car park is/was it?
    residential,?
    pub?
    shop?
    shopping centre?
    retail park?
    other?

    No window ticket just a letter through the post

    It's a small retail park

    We went in to get a takeaway coffee on the Monday whilst leaving place of work, then drove to another town, we clean the same place across the road from the coffee shop so went back the Tuesday and got a coffee and they're saying we were there all night, that's it...went back Wednesday etc and so on, we go for coffee everyday after place of work, although takeaway!!

    as its UKCPS , you just appeal once with the IPC template

    they will refuse to cancel, then its stalemate

    no different than the hundreds of other IPC member invoices issued every week

    which IDIOT told you its a "fine" ?

    you only get a CCJ if you fail to pay the court judgment if you lose in court

    so pay up promptly, if you lose in court, and no CCJ will follow

    Thankyou

    Where do I find the template please?
    Am guessing send recorded delivery? Do I then ignore all correspondence after? And wait for court date if there is one?

    Does it not matter that they aren't a member of the BPA??

    the template is in the NEWBIES sticky thread near the top of this forum

    no , do not send recorded delivery , they could easily refuse to accept it

    send first class from the P O Counter with a free certificate of posting

    ignore everything after that apart from an LBC , or an MCOL from Northampton

    It's in the Sticky thread for NEWBIES at the top of the page where you started this thread.

    No, you send it by whatever method it tells you on the PCN as near to the appeal deadline as possible. If there is no option to send it online, or there is no option to appeal as keeper, then send it first class from a Post Office counter and obtain a free proof of posting. Do NOT send anything by recorded delivery.
