Hi
I have received a speculative ticket (invoice) from a PPC and am happy to deal with it as I believe is straight forward. But then my wife tells me that I think I know it all so the doubt has set in….. The facts are - residential flats with a private company issuing invoices to all parked RK’s by post, using cameras, if the reg number is not on their list. Fair enough – their carpark their rules. My van was employed by a new resident to deliver their furniture. 45 mins maximum on site and I assured the resident not to worry as we would not get a ticket for delivering their stuff. Ticket arrives and I tell the PPC that the resident has a right of access to the land and that this right extends to their contractors - so no contract exists between us and the PPC. (Also that any further correspondence needed in the future will generate our invoice to them) The PPC has said that I should use their appeal procedure. I inform the PPC that as no contract exists between us no appeal is required (and that they now owe us £20 – reduced to £15 if paid within 30days, for work done) Seems straight forward to me – I do not need to use their appeals procedure as their invoice is frivolous. Any thoughts are appreciate |

Thanks for your input folks.
To sum up and I'm still happy to be shot down; I was loading not parking. The PPC enforce the parking. The PPC has said that I should use their appeal procedure. I inform the PPC that as no parking contract exists between us no appeal is required. |

QUOTE (kev of cov @ Sun, 24 Jun 2018 - 18:50)  The PPC has said that I should use their appeal procedure. Code for: "Collect as much details as possible to reject the challenge" 
-------------------- RK=Registered Keeper, OP=Original Poster (You!), CoFP=Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty, NtK=Notice to Keeper, NtD=Notice to Driver
PoFA=Protection of Freedoms Act, SAC=Safety Awareness Course, NIP=Notice of Intended Prosecution, ADR=Alternative Dispute Resolution PPC=Private Parking Company, LBCCC=Letter Before County Court Claim, PII=Personally Identifiable Information, SAR=Subject Access Request Private Parking - remember, they just want your money and will say almost anything to get it. |

Yes just respond to them making it clear that there was no parking contract formed as you were loading etc. Also make it absolutely clear that you will be paying them absolutely nothing! They will still ignore it of course but you just need to keep making it clear that you are not a soft touch and that they will be wasting their time pursuing you. You don't need to say that but sending a firm reply effectively says that. They are looking for people who seem to be a soft touch and will eventually cave in and give them money.
