I parked in a UKPC car park, and I consider myself to be a person who is happy to park in these private car parks. I happily ignore the signs and I laugh with their rules and regualtions. i will happily stay over the time they allow you. I welcome the parkign charge as the letters make me laugh with their ridiculous demands.
On this occassion a letter was posted through my door from UKPC, with a lovelt picture of my car and a demand for £90 as I "parked for longer than the maximum period permitted". Seriously now parking somewhere longer than allowed does not warrant a £90 fine, the punishment does not excatly fit the crime!!!! I happily ignored this letter and filed it in my draw at work with all the other joker letters from other PPC Today I have recieved a FINAL REMINDER demanding I pay the fine otherwise County Court proceedings will be commenced against me!!! I will wait with excitment for the thrid letter and will also file that one in the Jokers draw at work. I will be keeping my £90 and may even take a photo of a cheque paid out to them for £90 and then it ripped up. I will then print them in black and white and post it to them These letters are threatening and can be scary, but from this website I have learned to ignore them Also this week I received a letter from GEMINI parking which was one of my crimes I committed in August 2010 This letter states I need to pay up, but at a discounted rate...........desperate me thinks!!! And to still chase up after a year later......................... |

no fine is my interpretation!
why does that matter then if it did say fine? it does state "if necessary county court proceedings will be commenced against you for the amount outstanding, interest and court costs2. |

Private companies can't enforce fines or penalties. They therefore have to prove that there was a contract in which you agreed to pay them £90 if you stayed too long. If they call it a "fine", there wasn't a contract. |

Typical weasel words from the chinless wonder... If he feels the need to humiliate himself, by losing badly in court, it may be necessary to commence proceedings against you, although he could probably humiliate himself far better by commencing proceedings against me. The clear implication is that if you do not pay up in response to his threats and the 'robust' (but equally meaningless) threats of the DCA, he will take you to court, which is very misleading, but an expensive QC would stand a fair chance of getting him off any criminal charge related to that if the prosecution royally f**k up the case. -------------------- Andy
