PCN Advise - Ongoing saga

[safetycrew]

Two PCN were affixed to a car - in a private residential car park - Norwich Traffic Control was issuer ( a private company ) - the car keeper is a leaseholder of one of the apartments above and has a designated parking bay on the property lease. The two PCN were appealed in short order - however both appeals were declined - saying the car was not in designated space. There is signage in car park by NTC.

The keeper is now getting debt collector letters every week. The keeper used a template from this web and sent a letter saying no debt is due.

The keeper has appealed to the property managing agents who advised the case was under review and NTC were advised by managing agents to pause actions. Now Agents know debt collectors were appointed - they are disappointed by NTC recent actions and reconsidering the NTC contract.

In meantime - whats best course of action ? Nothing - unless court papers arrive ?

How do you finally remove the monkey off ones back ?

Ignore the debt collectors they can do nothing. Does the lease include the parking space, or describe it? I presume the car was in the space described on the lease. The lease will no doubt not mention anything about displaying a permit or paying a third party

Can you get a copy of the signs please.

Write to the parking company and send them a copy of the relevant portion of your leaase showing the parking space belonging to you and ask them why they are continuing to harass you when you already have the right to park there without being required to display a permit.

As requested - here is signage

Further information is there was a unknown vehicle in the allocated leaseholder space Number AAXX - so the ticketed motor was parked in the adjacent space AAXY - this space was NOT assigned to the leaseholder - so a vicious circle - cannot park in designated space - NOTE unknown vehicle in AAXX was not ticketed.

Bump

Haven't you just admitted that the car ticketed was NOT parked in the space you paid for? I know some random car did park in your pace but 2 wrongs don't make a right?

[safetycrew]

Thank you for your input.

There are perhaps 180 spaces of which only about 60 to 70 % are ever occupied.

The motor was simply parked in adjacent spot - which had been empty for 12 months plus - as driver couldn't park in dedicated spot.

An appeal has been to the freeholder ( building owner / company ) - via managing agent - who recommended to owner that the tickets be waived as a bone fide resident.

Where do tickets stand legally ?

[ostell]

Legally the ticket is an invoice for an alleged breach of an alleged contract. If the people that contracted the parking company requested that it should be cancelled then the PPC should cancel. Try and get some form of document sent to the PPC telling them to cancel.

You could always counterclaim in that the PPC are not doing their contracted job in that someone else was in your allocated space.
