Hi,

I inadvertently parked in a residents bay last Sunday at the Olympic park, unsurprisingly I returned to the car to find a £100/£60 PCN from Gemini Parking Solutions London.

What's the collective advice with these people when I don't actually have legitimate grounds to appeal it for other than their notice being just that and not a fine?

thanks

JM

Aha, thanks..

Parking Charge Notice.

For a windscreen ticket (Notice To Driver) please answer the following questions....

1 The date of infringement? 24/10/17

2 Have you yet appealed to the parking company yet? [Y/N?] NO

If you haven't appealed yet - ,.........

have you received a Notice To Keeper? (NTK) [must be received by you between 29-56 days] NO

5 Who is the parking company? Gemini Parking Solutions London Ltd

6. where exactly [Carpark name and town] did you park? Residents bay in Logan Close, Olympic Park, London E20

The Parking Charge Notice says nothing more than Logan Close and location ref 249, issue reason 09 No Permit. And "the vehicle was parked on private property in contravention of the site parking restrictions as displayed on the signage or permit"

1 The date of infringement? 24/09/17 September 24, a week ago, not 3 weeks from now!!

Await the NTK then

As DX says wait for ntk but if you can go back and take pics of the signs especially at the entrance and where the vehicle was parked the experts can pick them apart.

Gemini are useless and infest my local NHS hospital sites, they tend to use site security staff to issue their invoices so they nearly always get something wrong.

Make sure you thoroughly check the NTK when it arives to see if they are out of time or have incorrect information about your vehicle.

Chances are something will be wrong.

Thanks guys, so you think I should just tough it out. I've never tried it with one of these parking charges before, but I think I'll give it a go.

Go and get photos too

Nothing you need to respond too until the NTK Arrives them scan it up

Read upload

you wait for the NTK which has to arrive between 29 and 56 days after the date of the event.

In the meanwhile you get pictures of where you parked and the signage at the entrance to the private land from the public highway (or lack of it if there is none) and of the signage where you parked.

Generally the signage is inadequate to form a contract for several reasons so we need to see it to tell you which is the one that is the case here.

NTK received today (attached)

Still need to go and get photos.

Ah bugger, delete that one, and I'll redo it in a bit. Thanks

Go get those signage photos!

I'll go back down there tomorrow.

Ok, remind us of the date of the event? It looks like they have sent it out i the correct time frame but if it is like their previous demands from this site then the signage and the NTK are not good enough so we need to see both please

Let's try again....

signs...

NTK_LoganClose.pdf

can you pop the photos into one multipage PDF please and attach.

its not a good idea to post images to a thread

as this uses up peoples data should they be on a mobile or slow connection speeds.

thank you.

Sure thing, sorry!

they say they act for their client and do not name themselves as the creditor.

This menas the NTK is not POFA compliant so will make it hard for them to take the matter to court as they do not claim to have locus.

Let's try again....

 

 

 

signs...

signage not a contract,

no mention of any charges, tarfiffs, penalties etc.

Worse than their other signs

Thanks EricsBrother. Any advice for my next course of action then?

you do nothing until they write again threatening court action via a letter before action

They may get their goons to do this.

If they do then show us the letter and we will advise how to tell them to f off.

Never be in a hurry to try and resolve these things,

they cannot be resolved by anything you say,

only by them realising you arent going to fall for their attempts at diddling you out of money.

Just as I expected. Thank you all so much for your help so far.

Evening all, just received a letter from 'Debt Recovery Plus Ltd' demanding £160, any advice? Do you need me to scan and upload it? cheers

no we've plenty of bog paper already at cag thanks

haha! Any response required from me, or just ignore again?
