Ace Security Services CN

Hi Coupon,

Thanks for the reply.
To be honest I was annoyed when the fines first got paid. When I received additional ones I got really wound up and called Ace more as an impulsive thing and just said disagreed with what they were saying.

Anyways, I do display permits but they are valid for 24 hours and you write your details in the block. The first ticket I had forgotten to do so and the second one I believe happened because I have been using an erasable pen to change the dates and I think they fined me because it is not allowed even though the pictures aren't actually clear.

Either way, I am at my partner's place frequently because I babysit for her etcetc so only I really use the permit. But yes, I did appeal yesterday both charges with the IPC template and left it at that until I hear something.

I tried to find out who is the relevant owner of the land from a registry but they wouldn't provide the information but as previously mentioned in my thread it is say Lewisham Homes is an ALMO so the land is not relevant.

It is an absolute shambles though because as part of the process of implementing the parking enforcement, they held residents meetings and came to that conclusion that they will enforce it even though I'm sure many don't attend those meetings.

In terms of notification or lease changes to implement this, there is no change in lease and I'm assuming it was a member of Lewisham Homes went around posting generic letters informing all residents that ACE security will be enforcing effective as of "x" date so there is none of this mention on the lease.

Similarly what is a joke is that the letter informed that residents "must" park in bays, yet many of us don't because pigeons will poop on the vehicles and residents and visitors who park in the estate with valid permits that aren't in the bays aren't getting fined, yet the letter said this was a requirement.

It's so poorly regulated but yes, all I can do now is proceed with the existing two tickets and take it from there.

Hi, I received a letter today with Gladstones taking me to court.

My situation is that I parked in an estate which was managed my ACE. I had two charge notices from them.

Anyways, I was there as a legitimate visitor on the estate and I am there frequently as it is my partner's address.

My main line of defence would have been primacy of clause but I have got hold of my partner's lease agreement which allows for the tenancy agreement to be altered which has been done.

Now, I am not so sure about how to go in writing my defence. The original charge was for 60 quid each for 2 tickets raised to 100 quid and now going to court it will be 400 including court costs and interest of whatever they are claiming for.

I will pay if I am ordered to but I am not sure what my options are in regards to a defence.

i believe one of the tickets id altered the times by rubbing out and altering. in the second my time expired.

they ticketed me i believe on those two. claiming i can not alter the visitor permit and my time had expired.
