Response to a "private" parking ticket.
Discussion
From some other site
"A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "Failure to pay a fixed penalty notice will lead to a prosecution in a court of law.
"Failure to pay a civil penalty notice could lead to the company taking the driver to the civil courts.
"It would be highly inadvisable to avoid paying a civil penalty notice."

Don't bother sending any reply at all. Actually, unless you want to write and ask them to confirm under what law a "Prosecution" would occur, as that sounds rather like impersonating the police to me.....
DVD you link seems to describe the situation whereby a driver enters a contract with a parking company and then breaks it.
In my case the people parking are not allowed to be parking there. In other words there is no contract because no one has given them permission to park.
Bit like a company with a handfull of spaces for loading goods which are then used, not by patrons but just joe public wanting a free space for a shopping trip.
The parkforce company is penalising people who do not have permission to park and therefore I have not entered a contract with so none of your link actually applies to me?

Hang on a while. Read the thread on General Gassing, in which I think the last post was on Friday. You'll find Parkforce mentioned in that thread. SA client of theirs was emailing them to ask them what their response would be when they got the letter you are suggesting!

I'm not sure but imo the important issue is not to provide driver's details to any private parking company issuing tickets. Without knowing the driver they're stuffed.In my case the people parking are not allowed to be parking there. In other words there is no contract because no one has given them permission to park.

Well absolutely, but as in the other thread in the joy to run round and stick two metophorical thumbs up in the air to parking attendants you have to take into consideration the reason they are there in the first place. I'm not in favour of over zeleaous parking fines, but there are some times these things are needed and in the posters hurry to nulify the use of a ticket you may want to consider this will just cause immediate clamping and towing.
Now interestingly if you walked into a impound yard and said, Oh I want my car back and I'm not paying you a farthing cos I wasn't the guy driving the car at the time it was parked and therefore your contract wasn't with me. Do you think they would just give you the keys and appologise or would you think as the regitered keeper of the car you would have some responsibility regarding the way the car had been used even if you weren't the driver.

In which case if they are putting a charge on you then are they claiming damages?. Again I would submit it will be between the Driver who parked there and the owner. They will have to ID the driver and as Reg Keepr you have no obligfation at law to name that person in such a case.

Could you propose an answer to the second paragraph? What would happen in the case of the car now at the impound lot when driver comes to claim car but denies being the person who parked it illegally?In my case the people parking are not allowed to be parking there. In other words there is no contract because no one has given them permission to park.
