Hi ever1 I need your help with a parking charge so this is the story so far:|
I parked my car in a private car park so I could deliver medication to my client I was in the flat about 3 seconds when a car pulled up behind mine so I left the flat and went outside. As i went outside there was a guy looking in my car so I said what are you doing he replied your "not ment to park here without a permit" however, I could not move my car as he had parked three foot off my back bumber and there was a wall in front of me so I could not move my car. He then procedd to photo my car as I asked him to move after about 1 minute of him ignoring me he jumped back in his car and said ring that number and drove off:mad2:. I have spoken to the company who say he was aloud to do that I have checked the law and this is now a criminal metter so Hampshire police are not investigating the matter (Offence of immobilising etc. vehicles)
(1)A person commits an offence who, without lawful authority—
(a)immobilises a motor vehicle by the attachment to the vehicle, or a part of it, of an immobilising device, or
(b)moves, or restricts the movement of, such a vehicle by any means,
intending to prevent or inhibit the removal of the vehicle by a person otherwise entitled to remove it.
The company are members of IPC so there codes of practice are somewhat blurred I have appealed and lost with IAS who agree I breached the terms of parking. I am now getting debt collection letters for £180 but would preferr my day at County court please any advise cheers PS sorry forget to say I had NHS parking card on display as health care staff on duty (Nurse CPN)
