Parking ticket on my motorbike from UKPC Ltd in High Wycombe Retail Park London Road

[B3dwards]

Hi, I received a parking ticket from UKPC Ltd in High Wycombe Retail Park for parking out of the marked bays on my motorbike.

 

I ignored them at first because I've heard that the private parking tickets are a con. I then received another letter saying that it had gone up to £90.

 

I work away from home sometimes so when i get back to check my mail the 14 days they'd given me would have been up by the time i come back between jobs.

 

On returning home this week I have received another letter this time from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd, saying outstanding amount is £150 and i have to pay it within 14 days of the date of the letter. From what i can see there is no date on the letter so how would i know when to pay by?

 

I need some advice on what to do or what action to take. There are no motorbike bays in the retail park and i dont like parking my bike in the car bays as my bike may get damaged by other cars, and i think its a waste of a space if i park my bike in the bay when it can be parked out of the way on the pavement next to the car park. There was plenty of room to walk by it as it was tucked in the corner where nobody walks.

 

Please write back to me if you know what to do!

 

This is my first ticket experience and also my first time on a forum as well!

 

Thanks for any help in advance![ATTACH=CONFIG]42306[/ATTACH]

I would say continue to ignore it.

 

But a few PPC's appear to be going for court cases now, so keep an eye on it.

 

It would be worth making a complaint to the supermarket, and ask them to cancel the ticket, and also put in some motorcyle bays, as to be honest, motorbikes and pavements don't normally mix well, so I'd rather you were proactive, rather than just continue to ride it down the pavement to park, as you might find they've had complaints from other shoppers, even if you are well out of the way when you finally park up.

Cheers for the advice, i'll try to look for the details of who owns the retail park to email them.

 

Also I don't/ didn't ride it down the pavement, i parked it literally 6ft from the next parking space on the pavement.

 

I shall let you know if i find the retail parks details.
