Hi everyone. This is my first post here and I would welcome anyone's input.
I recently bought a flat and moved in 10 days later. I noticed clear No Parking without a valid permit signs. I had not been informed how to obtain a permit and there was no information on the signage on how to do this. I received a parking ticket from London Parking Solutions that day as I was moving furniture into the flat from my van. I was given the phone number of the managing agents of the flat and called them. They had not been informed by solicitors of my acquisition of the property so were unable to issue me with a permit. They told me that my van would be exempted from parking tickets until I could be issued with a permit. I appealed against the ticket but was rejected on the grounds that I did not clearly display a valid parking permit as per the warning signs.
I am reluctant to waste time with an appeal to IAS as I've heard they're not as independent as they should be and publish no details of appeal outcomes. My instinct is to ignore further invoices and wait for the Letter Before County Court Claimand then fight them there. Would I have a case on the grounds of unfair contract since, as I am entitled to park there, they have incurred no financial losses???
