This company are very unpleasant to deal with. I would suggest not appealing a parking ticket as they won't accept your appeal even if it is correct and genuine. Unfortunately my blue badge had been knocked out of view and I received a ticket. Perfectly valid for them to give a ticket as it wasn't clearly displayed however dealing with them after this was difficult. When I realised what happened I showed the landowners my blue badge and explained before I left the car park.

I appealed the ticket with VCS with details of my badge and all supporting info. Including the fact this is the same space I use every week day and have done for over 6 months! They rejected the claim on the basis that I didn't follow my blue badge handbook, a handbook that only applies for public roads and highways and not private land (private landowners have their own rules). They spoke about concessions I received... though I made it clear in my appeal that I gained no concessions by parking here. Blue badge holders paid the same as everybody else to use the car park. They weren't budging. I wrote to the landowners who said that they hired VCS to protect spaces for disabled people - not punish those who need them. They got the ticket cancelled on my behalf.

Basically, don't bother appealing as it likely won't get you anywhere. Let them go through the DVLA to find your info. Ignore their demands for payments - they're bullies. They are sending unenforceable invoices, don't let them try and tell you otherwise (which they will).
