Hello, I don't work in the private side of this industry, I do work for a local authority and this is not acceptable at all. I'm guessing that they won't bother me again as I told them of their errors in the ticket they gave me. I didn't know they would be fake as I've never had one before. I usually don't park in contravention to parking rules, as a rule. Lol.

Hi all, my daughter has a flat with her own numbered parking space. When I visited her on Nov 5th I parked in her numbered bay and displayed a photocopied permit that was laminated and it stated what bay and the flat address. Yes I got a pcn stating that I was not displaying a valid permit. According to Thames Valley Housing I should have been given 10 minutes observation time but the pcn was instant. I was told by TVH that if a photocopy was displayed it would be instant but no permit was a 10 minute observation time. ??? I did appeal and included their own photograph of my displayed permit. Date and timed in red. They state they will reply in 10 days well it's been 12 so far. I can't wait for them to reply. As I understand civil law, I have a certified copy of the original permit. I have the owners permission to park and the owner even provided me wit the permit. No other vehicles were targeted that day and all the others permits were blank. My daughters ex boyfriend had an A4 photocopied permit in his car for a year and never received a pcn. But when he lost the photocopied A4 permit he was targeted at least 10 times. He ignored them and he did get threatening letters but he ignored them all and they left him alone in the end too. I work in the parking enforcement industry and I am appalled by the way UKPC conduct themselves. I sent then an email claiming £10.00 for wasting my time and wrongful issue of a pcn. I should've said it doubles after 14 days eh? Lol. Steveo
