Penistone999 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 You can appeal but you'll get knowhere ... the offence is failure to display the badge or valid parking ticket. Happened to me with a pay and display ticket that blew onto the seat when I closed the tailgate, appealed and had to pay up as it was refused. Unless its a police or council ticket, just bin it as it is of no validity! Correct, it is an invoice ,not a fine ,and should be ignored along with any further fake solicitors letters. They should only respond if they receive actual court papers , which of course we all know will never happen . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vix2000 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have just been reading on pepipoo that the law has been changed, does anyone know how that relates to pcm as I had a ticket at meadowhall at christmas, and have just recieved a 2nd demand for £95.

Eckolad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Vix if you had read pepipoo fully you would know that the law makes no difference to these invoices. The tickets are Still unenforceable invoices. So still ignore pcm n their silly letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Eckolad rightly says, the invoice you received is worthless ,and the other threatening letters they will send you are equally worthless. Just ignore anything they send you .

Gleadly Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 If drivers were to park according to the T&C of the car park - be it public or private - then there would be no need for such a lengthy discussion as to whether the fines or invoices were legal or otherwise. If you park insensible in a public car park you are liable to get a fine. If you park without the owners permission on a private car park, which could be classified as trespassing, then I can see no reason why you should not be penalised.

Private parking companies who run car parks on private land CANNOT set terms and conditions on motorists ,and CANNOT enter into a contract with motorists who park in that car park.

knp80 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm glad this is here. My wife got a ticket from PCM around xmas time. She was taking her disabled mum shopping and so was parked accordingly with her badge in place. However PCM issued a ticket saying 'parked in a disabled bay not clearly displaying a valid disabled badge'. When i asked her she said some of it maybe have been partially covered by our tax disc but it was displayed and it is valid. We ignored the inital 'fine' but today i (as registered owner of the vehicle) received a letter demanding i pay the £95 or under the protection of freedom act must do one of three things - appeal, pay or name the driver at the time. Do we just continue to ignore as this thread says?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
