Ok, so I need to be careful of my wording.

What do I do now, just sit and wait for them to send me letters?

Can I go straight to the BPA or POPLA?

I don't imagine this will go away by itself.

About 20 people got tickets in the first week of January 2020 when this was introduced, I don't know them personally though. 

I appreciate your comments on this.

I asked my employer and they said others have asked them to get involved.

But if they do it for one, they will have to do it for many others too and it could become a minefield and time consuming (we all have jobs to do).

So that is not an option.

If it goes to a court claim I am happy to take it there, with the help of this forum course.

Should I win I will donate the amount of the fine to this forum (a much more worthy cause than OPS).

In the interest of moving this forward, what is the next step?

Go through their pointless appeal process?

What do I say and do I say I am the keeper or driver?

Keeper I presume...

My relationship with my employer is pretty actually, they are the reason I am relocating.

I just think we have enough trouble with landlord and they want to stay on good terms with them.

I just want to fight with OPS and give them a hard time instead of simply handing over my £60/£100.

Ideally with a loophole / technicality...

A landlord owns the land and the building that the company I work for leases.

It is the landlord that has instructed OPS to enforce these parking terms this year.

The company I work for has about 480 spaces out of a possible 600.

They are allocated. 

My employer will not tell get them to get lost unfortunately and there is no mention of parking in my contract.

Thanks EB.

Yes, they have been lazy because the car park has ANPR barrier access and my reg is registered for my company in order for me to gain automated access to the car park. I have a permit allocated to me with a unique number and the space I was in is allocated to my employer. If they checked this information they would know I am entitled to park there.

Yes and the lack of closeup photos does look suspicious.

Should I appeal to them directly on these grounds?

They ask for driver or keeper details which is better to provide without making their lives easier?

Yes I will access to my post for at least the next 6 months.

PCN with ref removed nowww

Photos from website attached now too.

I want to add, I have a car park plan and email which highlights which spaces I can park in based on the company I work for. The space that I am is included in this and you can see my colleagues' cars either side of me (reg numbers hidden).

Some additional information which probably makes no difference, but I will be taking my private reg off the car, this weekend which was on the car at the time in question and putting the original reg back on.

I will be selling the car next weekend and leaving the country mid-Feb due to a job relocation (planned for a while now).

But I will be coming back in a few years so do not want any trouble waiting for me when I get back!

Here is the parking sign, most of it is in really small font!

Also, when I go to the appeals section of their website they have taken 12 photos of my car angles all around.

360 degrees from front windscreen to rear windscreen, sides and front again. Then a front of car photo with the sign in the distance.

Hi all,

I'm a newbie so please go easy on me!

Today I received a "Parking" Charge Notice from One Parking Solution Limited at my office car park.

What should I do pay or appeal?

My gut instinct is to appeal because my permit was in the car (in the driver's door pocket). I normally put in the windscreen each day, but today was my first day back in the office after 1.5 weeks and I forgot (stupid I know).

Please help...
