No, absolutely nothing about parking spaces in my lease. I have revised many time already.

I received a reponse to my appeal today:

Thank you for your appeal against the above Parking Charge Notice.

At UK CPM we consider all appeals on a case-by-case basis. We take each appeal very seriously and thoroughly investigate any evidence that has been provided. We appreciate your circumstances and understand this is not a situation anyone would like to find themselves in; however, these parking conditions have been put in place to ensure fair usage for all motorists and support the needs of our client. After careful consideration, it is unfortunate that I am writing to you today to advise that on this occasion, your appeal has been unsuccessful.

The decision to uphold your parking charge notice has been made on the following basis.

Whilst we note the comments and reason for appeal, as per our photographic evidence, the vehicle was parked in contravention of the advertised terms and conditions. As the vehicle was parked without a valid virtual permit for the full and correct registration, we can confirm that this PCN has been issued correctly.

You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure and therefore you now have two options; either pay or appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS) - you cannot do both.

To make payment of the total amount due as shown above, please use one of the following payment options;

Online: www.paymyticket.co.uk
Telephone: 0345 463 4040 (24hr)
Post: Payments & Collections, PO Box 3114, Lancing, BN15 5BR
Alternatively, if you do not agree with your internal appeal outcome and you wish to dispute the matter further, as you have complied with our internal appeals procedure you may use, and we will engage with, the IAS Standard Appeals Service providing you lodge an appeal to them within 28 days of this rejection.

The Independent Appeals Service (www.theIAS.org) provides an Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme for disputes of this type. If you decide to appeal to the IAS, you will need to visit their website and use your PCN reference and corresponding vehicle registration. All PCN's will be uploaded to the IAS website by the end of this working day.

If you appeal this charge further then you will lose the ability to pay at the reduced rate (if applicable). In the event that your IAS appeal is unsuccessful, the full amount for the PCN will then be payable. If you lodge an appeal with the IAS and then subsequently pay the charge prior to that appeal being determined, then the appeal will be withdrawn, and you will not be given a further opportunity to contest the charge.

If you do not wish to dispute the matter further and payment is not received within 28 days of the date of this correspondence then additional charges may be incurred, for which you may be liable. If the charge continues to remain outstanding, the matter may be later referred for litigation in the County Court which could result in a County Court Judgment being made against you; this may impact on your ability to obtain credit in the future.



Is it worth using this The Independent Appeals Service?

Thanks for the help

 

I would not be able to answer that question.

I just did a quick search and possibly the Landowner is Hyde housing. The Estate is managed by Hyde Group.

I just found some info:  https://www.hyde-housing.co.uk/tenants/car-parking/

I pay CPM for the parking space.

I am a resident of a Estate managed by Hyde Village and they use CPM for managing parking spaces.

I have an account with CPM. I revised the confirmation emails after paying and they do not provide any contract after payment or any other form of agreement.  At least I have not been able to find the information easily on their email;s or in the web account

Thank you very much for the information.

My tenancy agreement does not have any information about parking.

I have just checked about any form of contract when paying for my parking permit to CPM and there is no contract either as far as I can understand.

I am attaching their confirmation email, and the information that appears on my online account.

They did not notify or sent any reminders about my e-permit expiring.

I did contact them via email 3 days before my e-permit expired to notify that I need to renew and asked for instructions to do so (It was not possible to do from my online account)

So basically, I want to find out if in case they open a court case I would have strong grounds to defend myself if I do not pay the 2 parking invoices they have sent me.

Thank you very much again for the help

Thank you for the quick reply.

My tenancy agreement does not mention anything about car park.

But in order to obtain a parking bay, I contacted my Landlord in 2019 and he refereed me to the company that manages the estate where I live: Hyde Village.

I have hold the same parking bay since then. They used to manage the parking permit themselves but they have transitioned to use CPM.
