I have a motability car, and the courtesy car was because my car was being serviced, they have none of my card details. Would I just be better off paying this one, as much as I hate to, and then remember for next time...

local shops with private parking, where you have get a ticket from the machine to park for free for an hour. Apparently the ticket wasn't clearly displayed on the dashboard

ok thanks so even if they have a contract with the council, I still don't have to pay?

well Proper council traffic wardens have to take the pics by law I didn't realise they were [problematic], am shocked that local councils allow this to happen. They also work down on my estate, but they clamp cars on the estate, can they do this?

thanks will do so glad I found this thread, as was going to pay the £40 tomorrow online... god knows how as am skint till next week but was going to pay it lol.. I thought I was being clever when I requested a dated and timed photo, a photo of the number plate and a photo of the clear dashboard, which by law they have to take, but I didn't realise that they are a fake company so would ignore that anyways lol. Shocked really as they have only just sorted out their signage saying that the first hour is free ONLY if a ticket is displayed from the machine, before it just said first hour was free so people didn't get a ticket and then got a PNC. Guess they are now trying more tricks to keep the money coming in... the bloke had a field day the day 2 of the machines were out of order.. I watched him slapping on tickets after tickets...

lol, thanks everyone, My husband is worried about ignoring it, but UKPC says that as the registered keeper i am responible, well actually it was a custory car so am not actually the registered keeper at all, and I wasn't driving... so they have no leg to stay on anyway... idiots, its only because I appealled it, they are writing to me..... otherwise they would contact the garage and the garage would know its a fake ticket, damn..

It says its a PCN on the letter, not a PPC so is that difference?

so true, as I said I have recieved one (or 2) proper council parking tickets (one for parking on a single yellow line without displaying my daughter's blue badge while in speech therapy with her, whoops, and one for parking at the bottom of my sisters drive on the grass verge) The council did send me the pictures and it clearly showed I was in the wrong, so I paid, but UKPC are just ignoring me, so that tells a thousand stories to me. [problem]!!

Wouldn't have minded if they send a photo if a clear dashboard, dated and timed, with the number plate showing, but it was just of the dashboard, could have been taken the day before for all I know.

ok wil phone the garage and tell them (I did inform them of the ticket when I returned the car), guessing they will not contact the garage anyway as they are writing to me. I can't believe they think they can get away with this, I got a proper parking ticket last year, and they send me 2 photos of the car when I appealed, so I thought that they would happily send me the photos I requested, but they have just ignored me. I am supposed to pay £40 by monday, but recieved a demand today for £80. The photo they send me was a complete joke, I actually laughed at it....

Also I signed all the paperwork for the car at the garage, so as I was the registered owner/keeper at the time, but my hisband was driving it am I right in thinking that the contract lies with him and not me.

Hi, just read a lot of this thread with interest. My husband, while we had a custory car, recieved a UKPC parking ticket, for not displaying a ticket clearly. I appealed it and was sent a lovely pic of A windscreen (couldn't tell if it was the car we were driving) with the yellow bag thing stuck on the windscreen above where the machine ticket was placed mmmm I emailed them again and said that I wasn't happy as the picture wasn't dated or timed, that I wished to see the 3 pictures that by law they have to take, and I wanted to see a picture of the clear dashboard. I haven't heard anything back apart from a demand for £80 now. What do I do? Unfortunely we have no ticket as it flew out the window on the way home, but I am sure they stuck the yellow above the ticket. Also is it true that the yellow bag has to be be under the window wipers to be 'Legally served'?

And have worked out that I have paid £875 in bank charges in the last 6 years. Have just written out the next letter and will post ASAP. But what happens next???
