The Independent Appeals Service (IAS) Parking Ticket Help

Well what a crock of @#$% they are ...

Where my partner lives theres a grey area between where the local council resident permit/disc zone ends and a plot of private land. There are 4 spaces that have never had privacy notices put on vehicles and then another space where my partner parked her car (on 1 occasion) and received one of these followed by a parking notice in the post

Ive been dealing with this for her and weve had the appeal dismissed and been advised to contact the operator within 14 days to make payment of 'the charge'.

Ive since discovered via googling The IAS are independent of the parking company, but are run in-house by the IPC, raising a potential conflict of interest.

Evidence shows that the success rate for appeals to the IAS is very low (surprise surprise)

The Appellant was parked adjacent to a sign which states 'No Parking', it could not be clearer. This is nonsense as the vehicle was parked to the right of the sign in the grey area between where the end of permit zone is and start of the 'private land' (see silver car in image)

Do i just ignore future correspondence ie debt collection from the parking company unless they issue a CCJ?

I feel like theyre proper trying to have my eyes out and if i see any vehicles parked in this space in future i will put my own 'privacy notices' on windscreens to warn other drivers they risk a £100 charge by leaving their vehicle there to pi$$ on this company's income stream

Davey was the car parked where the one with the reg NDC is parked, or where the van was parked reg CRZ?
 
Do not ignore, don’t take advice from anyone telling you that. You may be able to but it’s not as cut and dried now. Google parking appeal forum and make a thread you will get specific advice based on the provider, reason for fine etc
 
Reason for fine is that the vehicle was 'parked on their land' which i was disputing (and theyve rejected). You can park to the right of the sign on the same side of the road and not have a privacy notice slapped on your windscreen, yet park on the other side of the road in the exact same location and they claim you are parked on their land!!

The car was indeed parked where NDC is (photo is to show an example of someone else doing this). The signage is unclear where the private land starts 9/10 people would think like myself from where the 1st private land sign is positioned? There isnt even a private land sign on the side of the road where NDC is parked

If you park inbetween the disc zone sign and private land sign (where the van is) you dont get a charge put on your windscreen.

I saw the van that goes round parked up the other day on market day just sat waiting to catch someone out, i had to stop myself from knocking on his window

What's the wording on the sign? Depending on the wording if you were on the other side of the road that hardly fits the description of adjacent given in the result of the appeal.
 
Now received a demand for payment with the balance increasing from £60 to £160 (with £60 debt collection costs added)

Makes me laugh as their evidence is the following photo ...

As you can clearly see the vehicle in question is parked to the right of the private land sign. The land inbetween the 2 signs on the opposite side of the road is kind of no mans land (and also some ones back garden) and vehicles do not get ticketed on this side of the road. Do you think this would get laughed out of court. Our appeal was rejected but on doing some googling apparently no one ever gets their appeal overturned as the appeal company has something to do with the parking charge people
 
Should never have replied to any correspondence.

Had i done some googling prior i wouldnt have! I thought the appeals process would have been legit but its clearly a crock of $hit and as you say just to encourage you to reply
 
It boils my p1ss that DVLA sell our personal details to private companies without our permission. To rub salt in it, the companies pay DVLA for each enquiry but the actual cost of each enquiry is 37p- so us taxpayers/motorists/ bikers are actually subsidising these companies.
