Hello,
Recently received a NTK letter from UKCPS which came as something of a shock as it is my first ever such notice in over 40 years of driving.
They want me to pay a £100 parking charge to UKCPS for allegedly parking in a disabled bay without a valid badge displayed. I can have it reduced if pay within 14 days. Also says if that if I was not the driver I should send them details of the drivers name & address & if not paid within 28 days they have the right to recover so much of the charge as remains unpaid.
The letter included a photo of my number plate only with no indication of where The driver was supposedly parked,i.e does not show any disabled or any other parking bay with the car in it.
Letter states The driver was parked at site location of Station Road but not the town or city. The photo of number plate has a time stamp on it but letter does not detail any arrival and / or departure time.
On the day in question The driver had gone into Lincoln but did not park anywhere at any time the driver appears to have taken someone and dropped her off opposite Lincoln rail station on a road called St Mary's Street where there is a taxi rank, which at the time was virtually empty & was stopped for maybe 50 seconds just to allow her to get out of the car - The driver did not get out & engine was running & drove away immediately she shut the door. ( St Mary's street is the street that runs alongside the station - but They did not at any time enter the stations parking area, even to drive through).
There are obviously parking cameras in the area covering the stations parking area but how can UKCPS possibly try to imply The driver was in a disabled parking slot & what can I do to disprove this ridiculous affair & not pay them?
Here is a link to a Google map that shows the paved taxi rank area where They stopped briefly - the station & its parking area are to the left of the picture: https://goo.gl/maps/sp2Qs6E6Z2M2
Thank you for any pointers / advice
