Hi dx100uk, Sorry, link to what? About knowing who the registered keeper of a car is from DVLA, correct, they can, if with a valid reason, and as long they're members of BPA or IPC, as far as I can gather. Parkshiled, in the case, is a member of IPC. Digging further, this Parkshield has amazing stories. They do look like a business made of extorsion. Now I may have been naughty and parked for 20min where I shouldn't, but this is becoming something more than £100. The more I read the more it's about the principle. cheers all --v

Hey HB, The only permit I have is where around my house and it certainly does not apply that far. So my guess the "not a valid permit" is just the generic reason they state. To add some more info, I vaguely remember parking in the harbourside for a few minutes in an area the likes of hotels and private loading areas. I do remember someone, like a security doorman, taking notes while looking at my car. The second thing is I wonder how they got my address and name. Would DVLA just hand out to a private business just like that? any help great appreciated --v

Dear all, My first post so apologies beforehand if I should follow a certain procedure. Congrats for the fantastic content and advice -- although at times not easy to follow. I got today on the post a £100 Parking Charge Notice from a PCP Enforcement Agency I honestly do not remember parking there; in fact, I don't even know where this is exactly. In any case, the whole letter seems to be written to deceive - maybe what you call a Speculative Invoice. I do think I may have parked in a spot with "clear signage" (eye for detail is not my thing, unfortunately). There's this thread: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?179567-Private-Car-Parking-Enforcement-Agency-(CCTV) from 2009 similar and at the same spot. I wonder what happened. More info - 22 June 2017; arrived in the post today, 20-august-17 - car parked at at Bristol Estate, Anchor Rd, Harbourside, Bristol, BS1 5DB How'd you advise me to do? Should I just ignore this? You do have a sticky thread saying not to... a billion thanks in advance Victor (Bristol) pcn.pdf
