i have read the stickies but got no where with my post. i would really appreciate some direction. my time with these people (ukpc) has run out.. im not one to run from my problems. id rather know what im dealing with regarding law. god i wish i had studied it now. thanks though to the messages on here and didn't mean to cause offense.

i used the word bloody if i remember correctly. i refrained from stronger wording im not arguing with u about words and appreciate the forum.) i will try to use more conservative terminology in the future that means the exact same thing, although i think most of your readers will think im talking rubbish i am confused though as to to what other words were unworthy of publishing. i was very restrained.

ok. lol. i didn't realise the word conservative was a universal swear word but i will keep that in mind in future.

why has my post been edited... surely im allowed to relate it to politics! whats with the freedom of speech... we dont live in America yet! [EDIT]

ok.. u mean ignore and do not send an appeal at all..... based on the grounds they have suffered no financial loss,....

ok thanks. these [edit] psychologically harass you in your [edit] sleep. they are the [edit].. just like the [edit] governments that let them!! ill try to hold out, but court action is something i don't want and thought that if i responded they might be more favorable with my case. However im dreaming that they have morals lol! Does anyone know the outcome of the trading standards case against them?? companies like this really need to be taken down!

Thanks for all the above comments. I'm confused as to what to do.... I know how ruthless they are and how they don't give up! They know due to my previous dealings with them that i have a permit as do the staff they employ. they check the cars daily apart from this week when no one has parked in there due to the fact they cannot get in due too 2 feet of snow that has not been cleared this week. im having to park 15 mins away from work as a result!!! I was thinking of sending this... what do u all think I am appealing this parking ticket due to the fact that i have a valid parking permit for the use of space number 10 in Patent street car park, which my emplyer leases for my vehicle only. I have been parking in the same space for the last 6 months which your parking staff are obviously aware of as i assume permits are checked on a daily basis. On the day of the parking notice i placed the permit on the dashboard as usual. On returning to the car later that day i found the permit in the footwell. Obviously it had either blown off when i closed the car door or slipped off at some point. I feel the parking notice is unfair and unjust as the parking staff know my car well and that i have a valid permit. Another point i wish to make is that i have been unable to use the car park this week due to the car park not being cleared of heavy snow. This is unacceptable as my company leases spaces for myself and other staff to use. Bad idea??????

I am undecided on my course of action and wondered if anyone has been through a similar experience. This is the second time that i have had a parking notice from ukpc. I work for an organisation that leases several parking places in a car park monitored by ukpc. I was given a parking permit to use a specific space in the car park in July 2012. In August I forgot to display my permit and received a parking notice for £90. The human resources manager at my workplace sent an appeal on my behalf verifying that i had a permit. I assumed this was being dealt with so thought no more about it. 2 weeks later i received a reminder letter for the parking charge. I phoned the consumer helpline who said they had not received the appeal. They suggested that i send another online appeal, i asked them to make a note of my call but was told they could not as they only had a read only screen!!!! I tried to appeal the decision on there online website several times as suggested but the website would not let me submit the appeal. I e mailed them after searching for an e mail address and stated my problem. Once again I received no response. I then downloaded an appeals form and sent my appeal with a copy of my parking permit by post. A week later i received a final reminder but assumed that they had not got round to looking at my appeal so i ignored it. I then got a letter from their debt recovery department demanding £150 pound and a threat of court action. I phoned them and relayed my story so far stating that as far as i was concerned my appeal had not been dealt with.. The guy i spoke to was uninterested in my appeal but i would not give in and refused to pay the costs. He was sick of me and told me to send him my permit to his e mail address which he gave me. The e mail address turned out to fake. I was furious and found a general e mail to info@ukpc. I e mailed them the case so far in detail. I then got a phone call from the guy whilst i was at work, who i had spoke to from debt recovery previously, offering a one off payment of £50. i refused, argued with him and told him to get lost. 2 days later i received a letter stating that as a good will gesture if i paid £15 the case would be dropped. I was so fed up by then i paid it. This process began in August and didnt end until November and was a nightmare. However, i find myself in the same position once more as last week. I didnt realise my permit had fallen off the dash board and was on the floor!!!!!! I have another £90 fine!!! I dont know what to do and have read all the ukpc issues on here and have not found any similar to mine. I know im a fool for not checking it was displayed that day(like i have done every day since the last incident). Sorry for the long drawn out story but i felt some of the issues i mentioned may help others. Any advice on my current situation???
