Update: Hi, just received this letter from a company named UCS on behalf of LPS. 1) Anyone had any dealings with them before? 2) Ignore or respond?

Cheers guys, appreciate the help. I'll keep you informed.

Hey guys, just received a reply from IAS and it is not good news for me. A copy of the email is show below. What should I do now? Dear ******, The Independent Appeals Service (IAS) has received a decision from the Independent Adjudicator regarding your recent appeal. Please see below for the full details. Parking Charge Number (PCN): 38******* Vehicle Registration: e****** Date Issued: 05/08/2014 Appeal Outcome: Dismissed The Adjudicators comments are as follows: "This appeal is brought on a number of grounds. 1 - I am the keeper not the driver and therefore not liable. The keeper can be liable under Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. As the Appellant has not raised any issue with this process just the principle I have not considered this further. 2 - The signage refers to BPA and not IAS. This does not alter the terms of the contract that the Appellant has entered by parking on land managed by the Operator. 3 - The Appellant wants to know the genuine pre-estimate of loss. Genuine pre-estimate of loss is irrelevant. By parking on land managed by the Operator the Appellant has entered a contract and agreed to abide by the conditions set out on the sign. One of those conditions makes it clear that in the absence of a displayed permit the Appellant agrees to pay a charge. It is therefore the price the Appellant has agreed to pay for parking. Loss would only be relevant if the claim was for breach of contract or trespass. In the absence of a permit there is no expectation that the charge would need to be paid on the day. " As your appeal has been dismissed, the Independent Adjudicator has found, upon the evidence provided, that the parking charge was lawfully incurred. As this appeal has not been resolved in your favour, the IAS is unable to intervene further in this matter. The Operator must now allow you 14 days to make payment before they commence any action to enforce the charge. Should you continue to contest the charge then you should consider obtaining independent legal advice. Yours sincerely The Independent Appeals Service

Hi armadillo71, here is the letter I will send to the IAS, please let me know of any amendments required. Thanks Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to appeal against the rejected appeal notice served upon me dated 05/08/2014 by London Parking Solutions Ltd for “No Valid Permit on Display” As the registered keeper of the vehicle **** *** and not the driver on the day the ticket was issued. I am not liable for the charge. I would also like to bring to your attention, the signage where the vehicle was supposedly “parked” (attached photo). It is evident that London Parking Solutions (LPS) are claiming to be members of the British Parking Association (BPA) and NOT the Independent Parking Committee (IPC). Therefore, why am I now appealing to the IPC and not the BPA as the sign states? I would like to demand a breakdown of the genuine pre-estimate of loss to LPS which the charge must represent as the signage dictates, “If you park on this land contravening the parking restrictions you are agreeing to pay the parking charges...” Also, I would like to bring to your attention, there are no on site methods to pay the contractual charge LPS are pretending this to be. I look forward to hearing your decision on my re-appeal to the parking notice by LPS. Kind regards, Mr **********

The thing is I already appealed on those grounds to the company which they rejected. So will it affect what I write to the IAS now?

Haha. Clearly I'm a newbie at this after all those No's. Should I write anything about the wrong ticket which was placed on the vehicle?

Thanks for the replies guys. Armidillo, I will put what you've told me to write first, but should I also appeal on the grounds 1) that I wasn't parked, only unloading? 2) the wrong ticket was issued on the vehicle? Also, if my appeal is rejected by the IAS, will I HAVE to pay the invoice?

Sorry about that. These should be in pdf format

Here are the letters n ticket I got on the car. The notice numbers r suspicious.....unless their company uses numbers that go backwards. The ticket number is 383174825 at 12:49 The notice to keeper is 383174824 at 12:50

Hey guys, So as expected, the appeal was rejected on the grounds that "no valid permit on display" I'll send a copy of letter asap. So what should I appeal against, 1) Wrong ticket being issued? 2) Unloading not parked? 3) Does it take 1 minute to write a ticket and place it on a car? The wrong ticket placed on my vehicle says 12:49 and the Notice to registered keeper says 12:50........I also have a picture of the guy ticketing the vehicle adjacent to mine and the driver of my vehicle at the car door in the same shot, which means he wrote the tickets out prior to finishing dealing with one car, could I use that to appeal? 4) Car was blocked in whilst unloading, as the owner of the shop parked his van behind the vehicle, hence unable to move, would that be an appeal?

They call it the IAS - Independent Appeals Service in the letter, is that POPLA?

Hi guys, So I've received the Notice To Registered Keeper in the post and it is within the 28 - 56 day period. How should I appeal this so called PCN? Thanks

Sorry for the late response, just managed to convert the file to pdf.

Its the complete wrong car on the ticket. But he has taken pictures of the vehicle parked.

Thanks guys, appreciate the help. I don't actually own the car (but I'll call it my car to make it easier to explain) and the car was being driven by my dad. But the guy took a picture of me because I took a picture of him issuing the invoice. Will that affect the situation? My car and the other car were parked next to each other, we were standing like a few feet from my car as we had just finished unloading and it appears that the guy wrote the invoice inside his van and didn't realise we were there. But as he has gone to put the ticket on the car, he had seen us and seemed to rush and put the invoice on both cars. But in his haste to escape, he put the wrong invoice on each car. He took pictures of the my car parked infront of the garage with the sign clearly displayed that the car should not be parked but would it be wise to reply, stating we were unloading? Also the I know the guy who owns the garage, so should I get him to say we unloaded stuff into his garage? I managed to take pictures of the guy who issued the invoice and his van which was also parked in the private road so I could not get out. Will that help my case?
