For many years I have parked in my company designated car space, which I pay for, and my UKPC permit stays on display inside my dashboard.
In May I found a UKPC penalty charge ticket on my windscreen saying my permit was not properly displayed.
Going online to their website their photos show the UKPC permit visible but the bottom part is hidden by the dashboard.
I immediately appealed online and asked them to send me dates of all times they had been to the car park in 2016 as this would show I am (and therefore this was evidence proving I am validly parked).
As requested by them I have sent them a copy of my permit and three letters, including invoices for my costs in dealing with them.
They have completely ignored my requests for information and last week told me they did not accept my appeal and if I appeal to POPLA early payment discount no longer applies and I would have to pay £100.
I am being bullied to pay a lower fine but because this is such a blatant attempt to extract a fine when no offence has occurred I have now submitted my appeal to POPLA. if I lose that appeal I will lose all faith in justice.
UKPC advised me they do not have a legal contract with me in relation to my charging them but I feel they should compensate me for time wasted and costs incurred.
On my original appeal I told them I would charge them for future correspondence and they did not dispute this or my invoices until 6 weeks later.
Is there any way to get them to provide the evidence I requested and to force them to pay for their immoral actions?
