I had a ticket put on my windscreen by ukcps at chatham outlet shopping centre outside carpark i was parked in a disabled parking bay on the 11/7/2012 I was distracted by a lady who was asking for directions and forgot to to display my blue badge. I then went into the shopping centre for less than 5 minutes and realised what i had done so i sent my daughter out to the carpark to put my badge up and when i came back from doing my shopping about an hour later i had a ticket on my windscreen but where it had been raining so hard the ticket got soaked and where the the hand written part of the ticket has been washed away. what should I write on my apeal letter
Optional Information: Province/Country relating to question : Kent England Already Tried: Nothing yet as I only received the ticket a couple of days ago

Good. This is a private land fine. They are unenforceable. This is not a parking fine however it may look. These companies are private firms that have no more right to punish you for the manner of your parking than your neighbour does. Only the police or the local Council can do that. These are issued on the basis that you have accepted a contract by parking there and breached it by staying too long. To make that work they would have to hang signs over almost every bay and anyway, they still cannot show loss. The way to stop them dead is to write back refusing to give them the name of the driver. Please note that DOES NOT mean you should lie. Some people don't seem to be able to see the difference between REFUSING the name of the driver and giving false information but there is a very substantial one. They have no power to force from you the name of the driver as they are not the police. They only have a 'contact' with the driver and not the registered keeper. Please note that will not stop them writing to you. They will send lots of threatening letters. They will pass it on to debt collection and they may get a solicitor to write to you. Unless you actually get a court summons these communications are nothing to worry about. Refusing details of the driver puts an end to any real action being taken. Hope this helps.
