Elite Management (Midlands) Ltd Parking Charge Notice

[paullong]

Hi

I'm new to this forum. I've searched for over an hour on what to do today and there's lots of conflicting advice about whether I should ignore my ticket or appeal it. Here's the answers to the questions I think you want me to answer:

 

1 The date of infringement? 16/4/16 12:21

2 Did you appeal to the parking company? Not yet

If no, have you received a Notice To Keeper? (NTK) Did the NTK provide photographic evidence? No

3 Did the NTK mention Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA) N/A

4 If you appealed after receiving the NTK, did the parking company give you any information regarding the further appeals process? N/A

5 Who is the parking company? Elite Management (Midlands) Ltd

 

The charge is for £100 is paid within 28 days and a reduced amount of £60 if received within 14 days.

 

 

I've heard somewhere on TV from Martin Lewis that all I have to do is offer £5 for trespass.

Is this true? £100 or even £60 seems rather a high amount for what was a quick stop in a car park.

 

 

Admittedly the parking space was for staff of HBOS

but there were lots of parking spaces empty

and the same when I returned

so it's not as if I was causing any problems to them

although I appreciate it was a bit cheeky of me.

 

What would should I do?

 

 

Should I reply and appeal within 14 days or pay within 14 days or ignore or offer £5 or what?

 

Thanks, Paul

await the NTK

[ericsbrother]

the Martin Lewis bit is out of date,

the supreme court decided that trespass is a contractual matter unless the landlord has decreed otherwise so not that simple.

 

As you have only just had a ticket slapped on your vehicle

the best thing to do now is wait for them to issue a notice to keeper

asking for the driver's details or claiming keeper liability under the PoFA.

 

 

They have to follow certain protocols to claim the keeper is liable

and often get this wrong, hence waiting and making them do the running.

It costs them money to do so anyway.

 

You can tell us about the event,

where, what you have supposedly donewrong etc

 

 

so we can get a better feel for what to do when you do get the NTK.

 

 

Dont lose the ticket, you will need this later.
