It's definitely worth complaining to the OFT and Trading Standards as they are purporting to be something their not. I think you could successfully argue that they are guilty of incitement or conspiracy to commit an offense under the AJA Section 40. They are actually inviting people to issue Penalty Charge Notices which they can't except in the circumstances mentioned above.

Well said pin1onu,

I was considering phoning them up just to let them know theyve been cought out and will be reported to the oft and traiding standards. anyone who wishes to contact National parking control their customer service number is 0870 847 0017 im sure they will be happy to hear from you.

I love this site and all here, even green and mean!!

We operate our collection procedures under the Administration of justice act 1970.

They certainly do.

I did a bit of digging. This company name drew a blank at Companies House Webcheck.

The domain name revealed little.

Nominet, who register all the domain names the UK, have in their t&cs a requirement for the details of the person who owns the domain to be visible if its being used for trading purposes. This domain name has the details hidden (use the whois search at nominet.org.uk) but is being used for trading purposes. You might want to report them to Nominet as being in breach of the T&Cs.
