Nicky Boy, lucky that food prep is my super power, I’ll get cooking Thanks FTMDave.

Hey all, Update... They have sent another letter asking for the reduced fee of £20 again. I have uploaded for you to see. Should I: a) reply b) leave them to stew? or c) slap them with a GDPR breach complaint Answers on a post card please. TIA 2023-08-17 UoL remider notice.pdf

Hmm fingers crossed they disappear. If not I’ll get some Beta blockers to help me handle the ‘scare’

Hey FTMDave, Nope. Nothing so far. There was a latter dated 19th (sent before all the emailing commenced) saying they now wanted the full £80 as the 14 day ‘discounted’ period had ended. But other than that not a peep.

Thanks everyone. Will wait a short while before I send it.

The time of 4hrs and 4 mins is the time between time of entry and time of exit not parking. The PCN also states that ‘by parking within this car park the driver is bound to these terms and conditions’. No car park was parked in! As clearly stated in both emails. they have not provided the timings for actual parking anywhere. Only time of entry and exit.

Oh . Thank you

Ok drafted a letter. Maybe its a bit too @r$ey? I can try be more polite if you think it's harsh. Thanks my reply.pdf

Agreed lookingforinfo. They’re asserting that the car was parked in their car park. They’ve come to this conclusion because the ANPR isn’t directly outside the car park it’s positioned on the road leading to the car park, and it captured the car going in and out of that area on the road itself. I’m assuming they are defining the whole area as private land and in their ‘orange zone’ but the main roads are public and any orange zone signs are placed beyond the ANPR cameras.

Thanks NickyBoy and Lookingforinfo have double checked online and yes the land is definitely public. ok will redraft. Do you suggest I leave out the sch4 bits too? thank you!

. You crack me up!

I know. I just can’t bloomin decide. I have enough on my plate right now and could really do without this. But I REALLY don’t want to give in

Thanks Dx, have emailed the hospital asking the question re land ownership (the lady there has been helpful thus far).

I am definitely up for a fight. You guys all helped me last time and it resulted in a win… Gladstone’s had to cough up £50. Sweet justice. Id go as far as small claims just to see the look on the J’s face when they see an elderly Alzheimer’s patient defending themselves! The car was parked outside of the car park on the roadside on double yellow lines. It’s unclear as to whether it’s university or Hospital grounds as they are all literally on the same land. Also it is a University Hospital. Is it worth me responding to the email above stating (again) that the car was not parked in the car park? The PCN says ‘By parking within this car park the driver is bound to these terms and conditions and liable to pay a charge if they breach these terms and conditions. The reason we issued the PCN is: FAILURE TO PAY FOR THE DURATION OF THE STAY. Also the reply to the appeal says “The driver has driven past those signs, entered the car parks and thereby have accepted the conditions of parking on University land.” I didn’t know that driving past a sign it means one accepts the T&C’s? What if it’s not legible from the car? I could also include LookingForInfo’s points above? Im going to drive up and take a look at the area so I can get pictures to show you. Thanks all.

Hey HB this is from the parking appeals team. From the email address on the back of the PCN.
