Thanks crem, very speedy response as well! You'll be tired of answering all of these im sure but its terrible these companies can make you feel like you have broken the law!! And its great to have someone to give a bit of reassurance! Thanks again Best wishes

Hi everyone, i am new to this site and although i have read loads of the other posts and have a good idea where this is going, i thought id check for a quick bit of advice from a few of you kind people who seem to know loads about it. My partner got a Civil Traffic Enforcement Notice from UKPC for parking 'outwith a marked bay' as he was overlapping into 2 spaces. He spoke to the guys who took a picture of his car and gave him the notice, and they said they'd cancel it, and to ignore anything in the post. However, owing to the nature of the letter and my complete novice in these issues i stupidly wrote back to appeal, saying that the staff at the time had told us to ignore it. I now realise i shouldnt have done anything!! My question is, should i send the letter below in reply??: Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Your letter dated [dd/mmmm/yyyy] Reference[#] Thank you for your captioned letter. Since I wrote to you I have been doing some research. I now understand that your “parking ticket” purported to have been issued with the force of law behind it. I now believe this not to be the case. Would you please advise me what statute(s) and/or judicial precedent enable you to enforce this penalty against me. In the meantime I absolutely deny your claim that the amount claimed, or any amount at all, is due to you from me. Yours Sincerely ??? Thanks everyone
