My car was parked in a visitor's bay in my residential parking area. One morning I woke up to find a Parking Charge Notice attached to it from UK CPM, who have some signs up around the car park. The issue reason is not displaying a valid parking permit. I have a visitor's permit that is in the car but I am not sure how visible it was on this occasion.
UK CPM are a part of IPC, although the sign says they are a BPA member. I have two questions: - Am I right in thinking that I needn't do anything until I receive a Notice to Keeper through the post? - Is there any point contacting my management company to ask for the charge to be cleared (since it's designed to stop people who don't live here or aren't visiting using the bays, not to catch people who live here out), or are they likely to just refer me to UK CPM? I've attached a redacted copy of the PCN and also a photo of the signs up around the area. I've had a quick look through the contract I signed with the management company when buying the property, as well as their "welcome pack", and can't see any mention of parking whatsoever. |

Thanks a lot Eljayjay, I really appreciate it.
I can't find the details right now but I think the directors were the hosts of the Annual General Meeting I attended last year, in which case they definitely supported the parking scheme because they invited representatives of UK CPM to the meeting. Does the fact that I am a shareholder of the company give me any more ammunition in this case? I never voted for, or agreed to, such a parking scheme because it was enacted before I took ownership of the property. But if I am a shareholder of the company that either owns or has an interest in the land, surely they would need my permission to even be conducting business on the land? Also, should I put a counter-claim request (for stress, and time and effort spent) in the defence or does that come later? This post has been edited by DragonQ: Sun, 17 Jun 2018 - 14:51 |
