I would love to use a parking company to stop people (visitors to my neighbour) parking on my land as they make it difficult for other drivers to turn their car around. As my neighbour raised it as an issue but allows their visitors to park on my land I feel clamping or a fine is the way to go.

You need to live where I live. Infant and junior school in our road.People park where they like. The car parkers have been threatened with sledgehammer’s and what not. They park up your drive.(not mine) if they did they would only do it once because it would have been stolen and dumped miles away, but have had to have a few kind words with some. I have one of the old core spanner’s for the tyre valve on a piece of wood. You don’t have to bend down to undo it to give them a ‘puncture’. No offence is committed according to a copper I spoke to. You have only let air out of a tyre. They are supposed to check their car is safe to drive. IE tyres at correct pressure. On another note, tomorrow I am going on a course so that I And a few others can take photo’s of cars parked illegally on pavements and double yellow lines and no loading or unloading area’s. Get myself a bad name, but it’s no good talking about if you are not willing to do anything about it. We have already had one little girl knocked down, and one woman ended up under a car on the pavement. Yes really. Don’t suppose I will be around long. Shot,run over, stabbed. Hope they get up early in the morning then.

have one of these in your windscreen (although not £5000, it needs to be a reasonable amount, £500 perhaps). Then use their own evidence against them. The BPA (British Parking Association) is the regulatory body for private parking firms, and part of their guidelines is that if you receive a ticket, it must be backed up with a photograph of the ticket in the windscreen. (if they are not members of the BPA or do not have BPA logos on their signage, do not pay).

So, you pay the ticket, then submit an invoice to them for the amount shown on your screen. If they refuse to pay, take them to court using the same terms that they are prepared to take you to court for non payment (ie trespass and breach of contract). As evidence, you have their photograph which proves they were aware of the terms of defacing your vehicle. Have read of people using this in the past, and working. Although this is the internet so how true it is I do not know.








further details and info on fighting a parking eye ticket. HERE

A couple of years ago a private parking firm fell foul of the BPA regs and were kicked out but continued trading. (It may even have been parking eye, currently they are registered with the BPA LINK). They were suspended from it, but continued to issue tickets (which was still permissable). The only difference was the company could not submit a request to the DVA for the keeper details (who ultimately become responsible if unpaid) and therefore not take the issue to court.

Attached are some of the letters I received, along with the only letter I sent to them (no, they did not respond within the reasonable amount of time I specified, so further correspondence was not entered into. Proof of receipt was also retained ). Look at the back of the various letters, all are the same, parking company and solicitor's threats. I even got two from the Cant Pay We Will Take It Away Crowd too! They made their demand, then dismissed and referred it three weeks later (bailiffs cannot operate in NI apparently).

the back of the letters are all the same, including the solicitors (which was registered from a domestic address if I recall!).

THIS video made me smile when I got my ticket and was researching them.

The "Notice letter" I rec'd just shows My car coming into the hospital and leaving to go to the car park , doesn't actually show me parking as there's no cameras around that area

10 is not defined. If I recall it is 'a reasonable amount of time' . 10 minutes generally speaking is considered reasonable, however playing devil's advocate, it could maybe be argued that 5 would be more appropriate 'against' 20 minutes 'free' .

With the subsequent info, I would appeal. POPLA

I think you must appeal, and give them a required time to reply, then you can use that also.

Did the PE appeal...... and guess it was turned down

Got a Popla appeal all ready to go .

But in the mean time I wrote a very Snotty letter to the Hospital foundation, detailing it all .

In the mean time a couple more letters from PE full of BS and veiled threats.

And last week got a reply for the Hospital , saying they were instucting PE to cancel the "Invoice".

And today got a very Curt one line letter from PE saying its all cancelled .
