Its not a fine, tell the Estate Agent and the managing Agents that you don't expect to be invoiced for viewing an apartment, and should have issued a permit or contacted OPS that you were on legitimate business.  I would be telling them to get it cancelled or else .  You should not have appealed.  However if they did try court they  would likely lose a defended Have moved this to your own thread so specific advice can be given for your case.

 

If you could answer the questions on this sticky it will allow the Team to see what is being dealt with.

You will always lose an appeal, the team will be along soon.

Estate Agent is worthy of an earful, get them to also contact whoever runs the building, as its not good for their business to have property viewers  being invoiced by whatever parking Cowboy they have retained.

Appealing does give access to a POPLA Code, but destroys any keeper protection under POFA, as invariably the Driver identifies themselves. As Coupon-mad rightly indicates OPS usually get a POPLA decision in their favour, but fall over later on if they do try court.

The people involved as in Estate Agent and management Agent for Apartment block should tell the PPC to wind their neck in and cancel the ticket, If not and court beckons the PPC contract with the Landowner, will be called into question, as Managing Agent might have no authority to engage a fleecer at all.

You had legitimate business there, and nothing to indicate any T & C's as in what signage was there, and as FTMDave says tell him not to pay.  If it was a Residents Visitor's Only, and needs display of Permit, and there was a concierge, they are remiss for not informing of that.

If you can get pictures  that clearly show the small print,  and the location.  A sketch of where exactly you parked would be good, there are numerous ways to kill their pig for them.  They rely on you making a Contract with them then they invoice you for some breach of a term of that Contract.  However there are many ways they fail to create any contract in the first place.

As a matter of interes who was the estate agent?  Might be something in the signage where you parked  that shoots the PPC  in the foot. You could tell whoever is mAnaging the block, that when you conme to view a property with a view to renting, buying or leasing, you don't expect to be charged  £60 or whatever by a parking contractoe for the privilege of viewing it, and you are minded to post your experience on social media, and local press

.

As there is a desk in the entrance with someone there ericsbrother's post above #28 is relevant, desk jockey at entrance not warning of the PPC invoicing viewees of properties is remiss and does alter the situation.

Convert images to a single PDF then upl;oad, thats the way only Registered and logged in Caggers can view them, if uploaded directly as jpeg, everyone browsing can see, nit a good idea.

If they are silly the Lewes CC case where they were tolchocked by D J harvey could well come into play as part of any defence.  They would be very silly to try court.

Brillianty, keep that email safe and print a hard copy, the PPC should tell you its dead, but keep that email, as its not unknown for a PPC to revive it 6 months or a year later.
