Penistone999 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 You need to contact Kirkbylad on here , he will get the parking parasites off your back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggers1987 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 MrHugo - your bang on. Wait for the letter and then proceed as you said. I did exactly the same and followed all the information which is available FREE online and the ticket was revoked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHugo Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks Penistone, but from what I've read, it sounds quite formulaic. If that's not the case, please someone say. If the process is: 1. Wait for NtK 2. Issue soft challenge to the invoice. 3. Wait for acceptance of this or rejection and code number. 4. Make hard challenge citing code number. Draft arguments around the various template letters and focus on absence of a contract between parties and inability to quantify direct loss to UKCPS as a result of any alleged infringement by the driver... Then I think I can handle that, albeit at a cost in terms of my time. Any other tips (other than paying someone else to do it)? Chance of success with UKCPS?

carosio Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Chance of success with UKCPS? Over 18 months I've had around 10 letters from them! Make sure you have proof of posting as they claimed they had not received one of my responses (the one which asked for the POPLA number, still not got it yet).

Seems about right...chance of success?....... better than good, possibly 100%, I don't know anybody that's failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo_dancer Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm back...my PCN from 2 years ago has reared it's ugly head again so I could do with some advice! 2 years ago we rented a privately owned space up at West One, all done through a rental agency and paid by DD. We were given a permit to display but as we were happily paying by DD we failed to notice the date on the permit had expired (the date on the permit didn't have any correlation with our rental agreement). VCS pounced and slapped a PCN for £60 on the car. Back then the advice was just changing from 'ignore' to 'POPLA route' so we spoke to the rental agency and they told us to ignore it but we appealed to VCS and sent them proof that we had been paying for our space, we also pointed out that nowhere in our rental T&C's did it state that we actually had to display a valid permit. They declined our appeal and the chain of Roxburghe letters followed. We got one every now and again and we continued to ignore and then it all went quiet. Then last night we got a letter from DRP (debt recovery plus). It has all the usual guff on about 'if you don't pay we will recommend the creditors solicitor to take action' so I'm not overly worried. Kirkbylad - is this something you can deal with at this stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 If it's two years ago I'd just continue to ignore it, the debt is probably been sold around the various agenceys and they all attempt to collect it. Just keep an eye out for court papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your time Hi Miller Man....I think Geared is right in saying that DRP are the latest to jump on the bandwagon with the demand letters. We've had letters from about 3 different debt recovery companies now giving us all kinds of threats and demands but I'm guessing that if they were planning on taking us to court they would have done it by now as it's been over 2 years since our PCN. We did have a more recent PCN from Parking Eye and those guys are a bit more sneaky so we used the service on the Parking Ticket Appeals website to get rid of that one for us.

juliecocking Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just received a parking fine for £50 for parking over a bay line. Called in jollys to buy a rabbit hutch and wouldn't have got it in car if I had parked between lines. I wouldn't mind but it was 2pm on a Wednesday and the car park wasn't exactly full. A livid I thought it was free parking! A warning to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
