uk plc parking ticket

[anonymous-user]

I left my car at a garage for investigation work and i just thru the post i have received a parking ticket. The problem i foresee is the garage didn't give me a receipt, it was a bit of a mates mates thing.

Sounds like a screenplay for a future Tarantino epic.

Dont contact them (The PPC) at all until you have registered with pepipoo.com

Just follow their advise to the letter

In the interim I'd raise the issue with the mate's mate and tell tehm if it has to be paid you expect them to cough up.

This said I've completely ignored the 3 I've had (and yes 10PS this is since the law change). After a threatening letter or two they don't bother chasing and rely on the I think 80% of people who do pay for their revenue.**

• On which point if nobody paid them they would soon go out of business - now there's a campaign to start.

TBH he charged me for work he didn't do and was a bit of a cock, so don't expect anything.

The thing that gets me is if i am the owner but not driving it onto the land that fine is given, how do i end up paying, when i can provide evidence to show i was driving another car, as well as being at work at the time.

o.k i have written a letter with my managers signature showing i was clearly not in control of the car at time of ticket. i sent this back but they have come back asking for the garage to provide evidence.

The problem was the garage wouldn't give me a receipt and have been very aggressive with me, as well as charging for work not taken, so no joy in resolving it with there help, as well as the 'cash discount' i received, i can't provide evidence.

Now i am happy for this to go to court as my company has a clock in/out system in each room, as well as i can provide 6 witness statements to back up my claim.

Should i just let it run to court.

Check with pepipoo. I doubt if it will go that far. you MAY get threats saying it may, mentin 'bliffs' but in reality they are only debt collectorsand have no legal standing or right to forcibly,ie enter your premise, to collect ( unkike Baliffs with a court order)
As i said get back to pepipoo and they will guide you
