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.
Hi, this is my first thread on the site. I hope someone can advise. I called in at motorway services and I missed the entrance for the car park (it was dark and there was heavy rain and I'd never been in these services before) so went in the next entrance which was the coach park. I popped into the bathroom and came out within 10 mins just to see a man from CP Plus Ltd putting a £80 charge notice on my window. My ticket says ' parking in a restricted area' was the reason. The car is a company vehicle so not registered in my name. If I pay in 14 days I get the fine reduced to £45. Should I pay ?
Thanks
As yours is a company car, you need to write to your employer and the lease company to inform them that any invoice from CP Plus should not be paid as it is not a parking ticket. Stress that if they do choose to pay, you will not reimburse them either directly or via deduction from salary.
You just have an invoice, which can be safely ignored. Private companies have no powers to issue 'fines'.
Receiving a 'parking charge' for parking where you apparently weren't supposed to park is a contradiction in terms in itself.
Come to think of it, has anyone actually used that in one the rare court cases we see once or twice a year? How can a 'parking charge Notice' apply to anything other than in an area where parking is allowed?
How can a Parking Charge Notice mean anything if you're being invoiced for not having a permit, for example?
