Just seen an e-mail from BPA it says I have received a response from SIP Parking with reference to your complaint. The Parking charge Notice has been cancelled. They have now amended their process so that they do not pursue these PNCs under POFA unless they are within the 56 day requirement. You should be receiving notification of the above shortly. So basically they are useless and are going to do nothing about them, and it was not cancelled it was discontinued in the court, big difference in my book and I will be telling them this.

That's a great idea and I will do that, just had another letter off the cheeky monkeys - This is official confirmation that the above PCN has been cancelled. No further correspondence will be sent regarding this Parking Charge Notice. Yours sincerely (this time no more kind regards???) SIP Car Parks Limited (thought it was Stop Illegal Parking) Appeals Department (can't remember appealing) Havn't heard back from DVLA but I'm pretty ticked off that they give out your details willy nilly.

There wont be so many with the help of you guys (gals). I am so much more enlightened now about the whole sordid subject.

Well you are completely right, received a letter today- Please find attached a notice of discontinuance. Please the court have also been made aware of this on 16/12/2013. via post. Kind Regards SIP Car Parks Ltd Legal Department Very professional, especially the Kind regards, ummmm the notice is signed by Sarwar whose position is now case handler, I will check it online to make sure it is discontinued, they were pretty fast with the discontinuing only just got in my proposed allocation, they must have passed in the post. Thanks for your help ericsbrother.

I hope so too, but they seem to be going the court route at the moment, looking at the other sip issues coming up on here.

I have had a Notice of Proposed allocation to small claims and direction questionnaire, which I am about to send back, it says on it to file it with the court office and serve copies on all other parties, does that mean I have to send sip parking a copy of proposed allocation??? or is this meant for them? The other thing is I forgot to say full defence to follow, will I still be able to do this.

I have sent in my claim form with my defence on line, just elaborated what I put above, not sure there would be much more to put on a full defence. How long do SIP have before they have to pay the allocation fee? don't want to fail now by missing dates.

Going to put this in as my bare bones defence. Sch.4. POFA (specifically para. 8(5) requires that to be able to make use of keepers Liability provisions, a notice to the keeper must be delivered within 56 days of the PCN. Sip Parking failed to do this by taking 85 days, which they themselves confirm in their POC. A valid parking ticket was displayed on the dashboard and was not in contravention of their terms and conditions. is this sufficient to put on claim to send in?

Sent evidence in to BPA and DVLA so see what happens, just got to send in the claim and defence.

ok, thanks I thought it was as that was what BPA wanted, but the way they worded it. it makes you doubt yourself,' why can't DVLA just ask for what they want like BPA.

I have had a response from DVLA they have said they cannot assist unless I provide evidence that SIP parking are pursuing under POFA outside the permitted timescale, I'm not sure what evidence they require??? BPA have also replied they require a copy of NTK and parking charge notice which I will forward tonight. Havn't sent in court claim form yet been looking on her of suitable way to word defence. What time line do they have for paying allocation fee?

sent in complaint to DVLA and BPA. just have to respond to court claim I'll take your advice and put in a bare bones defence, just beginning to understand the parking system. Thank you so much for all the help

I will e-mail today, with the DVLA am I complaining about them giving my details? and it is signed by Natasha Sarwar. I don't have to put my defence in yet do I.

going to try and insert photo so you can see how high it is..[ATTACH=CONFIG]47976[/ATTACH]

I have a photo of the sign, the lower sign is all about how to pay, the information part is way high, I can only see some wording because of enlarging, on the back of the ticket that was displayed it says not transferable, on the sign it says not transferable between vehicles doesn't say not transferable between car parks as far as I can see.
