Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I wonder if anyone can tell me if I have grounds to contest this one.
I have a valid residents permit for my car which was parked outside my house (in which I have been resident for 8 years)
It appears that the permit must have slipped down- though it was still visible on the dashboard, face up, it was not in the windscreen and could, I suppose, have been missed by a careless warden.
Given that I can prove ownership of a valid permit (with my car reg on it), and that the pcn does not appear to have been signed (though there is a squiggle of some sort over the printed text about 3 inches above the 'signature' line, there is nothing on the 'signature' line itself)
Yours hopefully!
Is it a council pcn or a private parking company? as only the council can issue a PCN not these cowboys of PPC's
Are you able to scan a copy? (Ensuring to remove ALL personal details) if you do scan it
Thanks

One thought springs to mind. If they insist that you shouldn't be so "careless" about displaying the permit, maybe you could remind them that there is a space on the pcn for a signature, and they use that... not scribble over the printed text. Pedantic I know, but so are these buggers!!
Write to the address on the pcn (Usually the council) appealing it, give a photo copy of your permit also, explain the permit was visable within the vehicle when you returned and noticed the PCN attached to your vehicle.
At least with a council PCN you do stand a better chance at the appeals process than with a private company, also if the council uphold the PCN then you have the option of the adjuicator.
