Crem, Letshelp and others, Thank you very much for advice, my Mrs seems to believe that we can win this now; awaiting my first letter (oh by the way they are not registered with the British Parking people so it will be interesting to see what tale they tell to get my details from DVLA). I will let you all know what tehy say.

LETSHELP, Great ansa, that's going to make my weekend go just fine, thank you. By the way, my Mrs says that we must ansa the pcn otherwise the balliffs are going to take lots of stuff away. I've tried to show her these respop0nses but she doesn't want to know, any advice pls?

BERNIE, Thanks for the advice, I may well need it soon. Yesterday my vehicle had a PCN from a company called Universal Car Parks stuck onto it. My car was parked in a bay that was until recently owned by Milton Keynes Council. I went to have a look at this bay this morning and saw that there are a number of poorly place parking restriction signs around the area. Regarding the company, there is of record of them anywhere. The signs are new and not very obvious. This company wants £80 increasing to £100 in not paid in 7 days. They say on the back no payment, no appeal allowed (not in those exact words but exact meaning). Can you please tell me: Is the advice not to reply still valid and then to respond with a plain letter saying prove I parked it there and fire off a copy about Data Protection to DVLA and are this company in breach of any regulations - ther is only a PO Box number on the ticket and no other contact details at all? Has anyone heard of this company or know their pedigree?
