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've been given a ticket for parking in a place I've used off and on for years. It's next to a drop kerb, but one that isn't used as a way in to a garage or driveway. There is a garage door but it is NEVER used to gain access to the road. There is no white line or "NO PARKING' sign anywhere near it.
In my street which only has 14 houses, there are 4 dropped kerbs, two of which have white lines.
There are plenty of parking and traffic experts in this forum and someone will be only too glad to help you and offer some useful advice. They are a friendly bunch with plenty of expertise in these areas.
Good luck and enjoy CAG. Feel free to have a look throughout the site!!
Any advice given by me is based solely on my experience in claiming, my experience in CAG or my opinion. I have no legal background. I want to encourage others to reclaim what is theirs.
Got a DCA breaking OFT guidance. Complain to the OFT about the DCA. Help put an end to these practices-
Unless you were loading or unloading there is not really another plausible defence to parking across a drop kerb, whether its used or not is not really relevant.
Not whole story from G&M
If it not a dropped kerb for a footway e.g. it as the one you describe, a driveway access. You can park across it provided you have the permission of the landowner (but not for a fee). G&M knows this.

I agree If it is a residential dropped kerb you can park with the owners permission. The idea is to stop attendants ticketing the owner.

One can probably assume then that the owner had not given permission then, if the Council issued a pcn or maybe you think they just issue to every car on a drop kerb and just hope its never the householder?

I cant see the attendant banging on the owners door before issuing.

Exactly....PCNs are only issued to private driveways upon receiving a complaint. If this was not the case they would be dishing out hundreds of PCNs a day.

ok ,
how would one find out if the ticket was issued due to a complaint and not attendant error ie training issues.

Surely that is a bit obvious? If it was the OPs house or a friends with permission he does not need to know if a complaint has been made since he is exempt so the complaint is irrelevant.

Not a complaint - a request to enforce. Big difference.
so an attendant is within his rights to place a ticket on my car which is parked on or adjacent to my dropped kerb.
then the next question would be, whats stopping an attendant issuing a rogue ticket on a single occupancy dropped kerb/driveway in a residential area which is not used and a reqest/compalint has not been made.

Yes a pcn can be issued just as a PCN can be issued to any vehicle on a yellow line. Obviously to save dealing with thousands of appeals Councils try to avoid issuing to vehicles that are exempt from the restriction.

It is not a rogue pcn, it is a contravention to park adjacent to a drop kerb so the PCN is issued correctly. If the driver feels he is exempt due to having been granted prior permission to park (or owns the house) then he can appeal.
Parking code 27 (dropped kerb)
