  • Private Parking Charge

    Hi i parked in Manchester at Xtra parking owned by UKCPS and i payed and displayed but still got a PCN. I drive VW Touran as a taxi and UKCPS are saying taxi's are commercial cars so should have payed double. So i went to see the sighns and it says Vans Minibuses commercials pay extra.so can anyone help me find out if taxi cars are commercial. Thanks.

            Re: Private Parking Charge

            Hi thanks for replying. I am confused because i searched the internet and some people say if a car is used for business and to make profit then its a commercial car. And also UKCPS saying minivans pay extra aswell now i found out minivan is a American word for MPV and my car is a VW Touran MPV. But on the sign it says Vans not minivans i have photo of the sign. Do you think i should pay £60 charge or do i have a good chance of winning thanks.

              So if there is a lack of clarity or if there is any ambiguity the wording of any contract is construed contra proferentem ie interpreted against the draughtsman.

              Also they are changing their mind as to what section you are alleged to have breached.

              Could you post up the PCN,first removing identifying details?
              Have you been in touch with UKCPS, and if yes did you name or admit to being the driver?

                        You need a link to the picture. The forum doesn't know which computer that picture is on. The web page where you have hosted it should give you the full link address.
