Parking Charge Notice from UKPC

[Insigjia]

Hello,

Is it possible to appeal this ticket. It's in a free car park and the car only went over two spaces as the space to the right looks unusable due to the work fence taking up some of the space.

Thanks in advance.

It's from UKPC who are a member of the BPA.

Hardly causing a problem to other car park users is it. Is the ticket just for not parking within a marked bay?

[Insigjia]

Yeah just not parking within the bay.

So edit your post so that the identity of the driver cannot be inferred. Use "the driver....." etc.

I presume that this was a windscreen. Send an appeal as the keeper so that it arrives on day 26 after the parking. Complain about the inadequate signage, no contract with landowner. Give them a name and address that varies slightly from the details on the V5, but still deliverable. The idea is to get them to respond without sending a Notice to Keeper or contacting the DVLA. Either is a win for the keeper. They will reject but give you a POPLA code. Appeal to POPLA at the very last moment about no NTK must win

Would this work?

But i'm not sure if that would work?

Why not try both options and tell us what works. There are a few things on that website that I wouldn't agree with on that site, such as sending signed for. The companies refuse to sign (they suspect it's something unpleasant) and so you then have evidence that it has not been delivered. It's happened within the last week. They are also not obliged to send you anything that does not have your name on it.

Hello again,

Just been to the car park where the PCN was issued and there are warning signs everywhere.

Below is a link to some of the photos And one of the PCN itself.

So here's the response from Fightback:

OK, those signs are prohibiting. There is no offer to park for those not authorised and therefore there can be no contract to park and therefore there can be no breaches of a contract that cannot exist. Any charge is an unallowable penalty.

So appeal AS THE KEEPER so that the appeal arrives with them on day 26 after parking. You appeal that the signage, which you have travelled to view, is forbidding and cannot possibly create a contract. The signage is not visibly obvious from the alleged location of parking.

You give your name and address but vary it slightly so that it is not the same as what appears on the V5 (but still deliverable). The will respond to your appeal and give you a POPLA code and also hopefully not issue a Notice to keeper. From the address on the letter you will be able to determine if they have contacted the DVLA. You then appeal to POPLA at the last possible moment and state that UKPC have not issued a Notice to Keeper within the relevant period (56 days) and have not contacted the DVLA and therefore no keeper liability.

You could go into The Range and complain, especially if you bought something, but The Range normally can't be arsed
