If it's a private company don't pay, and look at the stickies on this.
Is it a Penalty Charge Notice or a Parking Charge Notice?

hi its a penalty charge notice

Scan it into your computer and open it in Paint or similar program. Edit out the personal information and save it

Open an a/c on Photobucket, (here: Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket ), download them there from your computer and then post the link from Photobucket in your thread here.

Its a private ticket. Don't pay it and follow the stickies. Additionally, I think they might get in a bit of trouble for calling it a penalty charge notice: I believe thats illegal...

Agreed,

Private ticket - unenforceable tosh - as Robin says - study the template letters - DON'T PAY

A clear breach of the Administration of Justice Act Section 40 (d)40.

(d)utters a document falsely represented by him to have some official character or purporting to have some official character which he knows it has not.

You should make a complaint to the OFT and Trading Standards.

You could always punch him square in the face.

Not very productive but I'm sure you would feel better.

I would ask for proof that you where on double yellows for more than 5 minutes which I think is the time they have to wait before issuing a ticket.
If it was yellow Zig-Zags then you would have no chance of winning.

Thread moved to parking forums-I think you will need to give a little more info.sorry just noticed 2 threads on this so have merged them.

Al27 · 24th October 2008, 11:05

I'm confused Martin.

The OP is about a fraudulent private ticket. Chris's post is about a police FPN and needs its own thread?

maf91 · 26th October 2008, 00:26

NPM are also breaking the law by refering to it as a fine- and private individuals/companies cannot issue "fines"

i know its a bit late but better late than never...

on returning to my car on Sunday 12/10/2008 i was
shocked to find a penalty charge notice (PCN) on my car given to me by a cilil enforcemnet officer of the Wirral borough.

At the time of parking my car i was unaware that i
was
in a pay and display area, on checking at that
stage
(after i had noticed my pcn) i noticed a sign some
30 to 40
paces past my parked car, at the edge of the
road at the opposite end of the parking area,as the
parking area became a double yellow lined area. the
sign stated the restriction and time of restricted
parking. i have challanged this PCN but got a letter today giving me 14 days notice to pay the fine with 50% discount, or 28 days to pay the whole fine, anyone got any advice?
