Thread: Private Land Ticket

Hi

I recently got a ticket slapped on my windscreen by UKCPS - this was outside a block of flats which has signs stating you will be fined if parking without a permit. However, on entrance into the flat complex there were no signs, and as I parked in the 1st space I came to I did not see the sign further up. It was also dark. There was a lamp post in front of my car which I assumed would have a sign but instead the signs were attached to the wall. I have photos showing lack of signs at the entrance - is this an important part of the contract, do there need to be signs at the entrance to the flat complex for the contract to be valid? I genuinely didnt see the signs.
Just trying to guage whether I have a case if taken to court (unlikely I know)
Shall I reply to them saying I am not paying as I have evidence I am not liable? They want me to send a cheque with my appeal, this is not happening, the thieves!

Also, is the "they cant prove the driver" defence applicable in cases like this where they put the ticket on the windscreen? Or is it only applicable when a letter is sent in the post to the owner?

Any help with course of action would be appreciated.

Does their sign really say you will be fined for parking without a permit, or are those your words?

Anyway, no matter what their sign says, just ignore them completely.
