Private parking tickets / CPM private Ticket
« on: October 25, 2025, 09:54:44 pm »
I got a CPM TICKET. My appeal was unsuccessful. They gave me ticket in dark road. I believe you guys know portal way beside Icon tower. I did not know that it was private road. I have hire and reward insurance. Should I go through IAS? The ticket guy himself used torch to issue me with a pcn. I even explain them that it was dark I did not know there was sign and also that it was private road. So should I go to independent appeal services or not. I can not upload images or screen shots here.
The APPEAL I made was the following;;
Subject: Appeal against Parking Charge Notice 5080xxxx Dear UK Car Park Management, I am the registered keeper of vehicle FH08FYE and I am appealing Parking Charge Notice 5080xxxx. The alleged contravention occurred at 22:16 in hours of darkness. First of all, your own evidence shows that the sign could only be read with the use of a torch/flashlight. This proves the signage was not sufficiently illuminated or visible to a driver at the time of the incident. The IPC Code of Practice requires that signage is clear, legible and visible at all times. That requirement has clearly not been met. Moreover, a driver cannot be bound by terms that are not adequately displayed. If the signage is not visible, no contract can be considered in place. The location lacks the clear, prominent, and well-lit signage that is necessary to form a legally binding agreement. At last, I request that this charge be cancelled. If you refuse, please supply me with a full copy of the signage map for this site, showing positions, lighting arrangements, and proof of compliance with the IPC Code of Practice. I do not consent to your use of my personal data beyond the handling of this appeal. Yours faithfully, Registered Keeper.
Unsuccessful Appeal REPLY FROM CPM IS FOLLOWING:::
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 made in your appeal, the signage on site clearly states 'No stopping/parking or waiting on double yellow lines/hatched areas at any time. No exceptions.' As per our photographic evidence, the vehicle was parked on double yellow lines which was in contravention of the advertised terms and conditions. Therefore, we can confirm that this PCN has been issued correctly.
Either due to the reason for issue and/or the insufficient evidence provided to support the details of your appeal, we have considered this PCN and found that it does not fall under the category of Annex F the Appeals Charter of the Single Code of Practice. Therefore, if no further evidence is provided, we will deem this to be our final decision.
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;
