They are not"Penalty Notices" and you must not call them that. They are Parking Charge Notices and are simply speculative invoices. No appeal to PCM was ever going to be successful.

The only way this will be resolved is if/when they try to sue you in the small claims track of the county court for the alleged debt. They will be required to prove that they have a valid contract from the landowner that supersedes your Tenancy Agreement or the Head Lease. I seriously doubt they can do that but they will try and scare with useless debt collector letters who you can safely ignore.

What have the management company said about it?

Hi b789,
I emailed the management company twice and they just ignored my emails with regards to this issue.
I phoned them and they said that I liable to pay that PCM even if I have the right to park there as per my lease contract. On the phone they said they have no saying in the way Parking Control Management ltd manages the parking area. They said that this firm just manages the parking space as it considers proper.

Thank you for all your valuable replies.
I have another question.
Should I appeal to their independent service? Or should I file a claim in small claims court contesting the penalties?
I mean is it possible/ok to bypass the independent appeals service?

so did you ask your solicitor to check for any mention of the need to obtain and display a permit of any kind??
@mickR I did not ask to check because his obligations to me ended when completion was done on the residential purchase.
What I did is I read the lease contract and it does not mention that I need to obtain and display a permit. It is only mentioned that I have the right to use that parking space.

I received the appeals results. They rejected all appeals for the 3 penalty charges.
I have attached one of the appeals results. It is unbelievable how abusive they can be.
I have also attached the parking terms and conditions that are displayed in the parking area.

Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply.

Our flat is leasehold for 999 years. I believe we have the same leasehold rights on the parking space as we do on the flat.

I contacted the solicitor who managed our case when we bought the flat and he mentioned the following:
"The Lease gives you a right to use the parking space numbered 339 on the Lease plan 2, shown edged red. This would still be the Landlord’s property but you will have a right to use and occupy the space."

I also contacted the management company and they said they passed my case over to the relevant team and they will get back to me asap.

Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I the lease I have the following stated at Interpretation section.

In this Lease these words have these meanings:
“Parking Space” - the parking space edged red and numbered 339 on Plan 2 or such
alternative parking space as the Landlord shall from time to time designate acting reasonably.

Also on the parking permit there is the following stated:
"Place permit on display.
It is your responsibility to check when leaving your vehicle"

I have attached the permit image.

Private parking tickets / PCM parking charge notice on my own parking bay
« on: November 12, 2024, 11:13:33 am »
Hi,
I live in a flat and I have parking permit for my car. I use mu car very rarely.
I forgot to display the permit in my car window and got 3 parking charges.
I appealed them and did not receive any notice regarding my appeal result.
I called the company Parking Control Management and thy said that the result of the appeal is that what is written on the parking charge notice. That they will not cancel the charge but that I have to pay 40 GBP for each parking charge they issued.
So they said that even if I have a permit but it is not displayed in the car window I can am still liable to pay a parking charge.
Is that true? I mean if I have a parking permit but I forgot to display it in my car window then the parking charge will not be cancelled even if I prove that I have a perking permit when I appeal the charge?
How can I cancel entirely the parking charge since I have a valid parking permit but it was not displayed in the car?

Thank you
