Thread: Parking Contravention Charge Notice Appeal!!!

Hi all,

I'm new to this site and was wondering if anyone could advise me on my situation. I work in a health club which supplies me with season tickets to the NCP car park above the health club. I parked in the car park around 11am on the 6th floor and went to work. At around 8-8:30pm I moved my car down to the first floor as the car park is pretty empty and parked in one of the spaces (family) with the picture of people on. When i arrived back to the car park I found a Parking Contravention Charge Notice on my window which was placed at 22:23pm which doesn't make much sense to me. What should I do to avoid wasting £50 for this ticket. The car park was empty so theres no reason to put the ticket on especially at that time!!!

any help would be great

thanks

James

I'm just concered about them taking legal action. Shouldn't I contact them and explain what happened or say I had a child with me?

anyone else think I should ignore it as well. Don't want to make matters worst.

Errr
Everybody thinks you should ignore it.
however, if you want to make matters worse, then go ahead and contact them.

Here is the attachment of my pcn. SO basically, all tickets seemed to be [problem] from NCP as they don't have any legal power. Is this true? So i should just ignore the letters and not contact them?

Thanks

James

not sure how to make the attachments more clearer?

the top of the ticket says

NOTICE OF BREACH OF terms and conditions OF PARKING AT A CAR PARK OWNED OR MANAGED BY NATIONAL CAR PARKS LIMITED

then the information

PCCN number, date of issue and offence, registration

Violation is under 1 - Parked in a restricted area in a car park

then there information on cost before 14 days (£50) and within 28days (£100).

Does this seem like a valid ticket or should I definitely ignore it as I don't understand the other topics as my situation is slightly different as I was in the family space (wider space) but at a time when the car park was empty (22:23)

thanks

James

OK can I be the first member of the morning shift to continue where the nightwitchmen left off....

Ignore it!
Do not write to them
Do not telephone them
Do not reply to their [problem]voices
DO NOT PAY THEM



damn! dx beat me to it.

Ignore them always. never contact them. And never lie about the circumstances either on a forum or anywhere else.

NCP are well known.

Expect two letters from them, two from Roxburge and two from Graham White. Ignore the lot. Then they will go away.

You need to get your head around the [problem].

How can NCP be getting away with such a [problem]?

Am i right to think they can't take the £100 or £50 because they are at no loss of money as I paid to park in the car park already?

Also, it sounds like any Parking Contravention Charge Notice NCP issue is part of a [problem] especially when you have paid for the ticket because they are a private company who have no legal power and can't issue fines. The fact that I hold a season ticket means they can't fine me because they are at no loss for me parking in the family space?

Alot of the threads talk about railway byelaws but my ticket says this at the top

NOTICE OF BREACH OF terms and conditions OF PARKING AT A CAR PARK OWNED OR MANAGED BY NATIONAL CAR PARKS LIMITED

does this still mean it's [problem]? Also, has only looked at the attached tickets I scanned?

Just wondering what PPC stands for and is my ticket a PPC as the advice is to ignore them?

Also, the car park is a barrier car park, no pay and display and my work pays for the season ticket so I just pop my card into the machine to get in, then back into the machine to get out.

All because I parked in a family space!!!!

PPC = Private Parking Company. FRO = what they can do.

They can't "fine" you because they do not have the authority to issue fines. Also family spaces are meaningless on private land

(ppc= private parking company= [problem]mers)
