Thread: Can anyone help with a central ticketing fine

Hi there

Has anyone had any battles with central ticketing?

Two weeks ago, I parked my car outside my own flat where I have my own permit and received a ticket from central ticketing. Problem being my ticket wasn't on display, (i was daft and hadn't put it on the dash as i don't have a window display for it yet).

I appealed to the company providing them with a copy of my valid permit asking them to dismiss the fine.

Ive just received a letter from them saying my appeal has been unsuccessful as the restrictions in place at this location state that a permit must be displayed clearly. If i don't pay soon the charge will go up to £135 plus admin charges!

Does anyone know if i can still challenge this?
Any help would be great

There is no 'appeals process'. It's a private company with no powers whatsoever.

• do not pay
• do not contact them again
• ignore any letters you receive, no matter how threatening
• they will go away after 4 or 5 letters (maybe a bit longer because you contacted them and know there's a fish at the end of the hook)
• they will not take you to court

Ignore them and get on with your life.

I imagine the way this was "resolved" was that the person ignored Central Ticketing who then just gave up because they knew there was no case to answer and the motorist didn't owe a penny.

but we dont know that for sure?

my situation is such that the car park does have signs to say that you need to have a valid permit displayed etc and i didnt as I was visiting and hence I got a ticket.....

Of course we can. You are taking these clowns too seriously. They are not the police or the council, but just a bunch of chancers who try and scare people into paying. If you look here at the Central Ticketing letter chain, you can see all their "threats" which just fizzle out if you ignore them. You case is no different to all the dozens of others that are featured on here.
