Hi there, I received a PPN from Euro Car Parks in July after the car, of which I am the registered keeper was parked in a Sainsbury's car park for around 20 minutes longer than the allowed time. I was not driving the vehicle at the time, and in fact currently do not even reside in the United Kingdom. I have written to ECP to inform them that, while I am still the registered keeper of the vehicle, I was not the driver when the alleged breach took place. I also stated that I was aware of my rights and was under no obligation to inform them of who the driver may or may not have been. I have received the following response: We note that you state that you were not the driver of the car on the date when the Parking Charge Notice was issued. Your car was parked in the YARM - SAINSBURYS on 07/07/2007 and the Parking Charge Notice (“PCN”) was issued because 'Your vehicle was parked longer than the maximum period allowed'. Please provide details of the driver of the car on this date within 7 days of the date of this letter and confirm whether the car was being driven with your authority. If the car had been stolen or driven without your authority, please provide details of your report of this to the police. If you do not provide the details required above, you are liable for the outstanding sum either directly as the owner and driver of through an authorised agent who was driving the car on the day in question. Further, as your car was parked on private land without our authority (as it was parked in breach of those terms and conditions which ECP have clearly set out on its signs), we reserve the right to pursue a claim for trespass. I am determined not to give in to their ludicrous demands for 75 pounds and would appreciate any advice on how best to proceed.

It was a notice slapped on to my car windscreen. It was because I had parked in Sainsburys car park and the maximum stay is an hour and a half and I stayed ten mins more. My mum parked there too a few weeks ago while she had her hair done and didn't get out of the hairdressers in time. They had also written her reg down wrong and she appealed and won.

Sorry I'm new to these forums. Where will I get the best advice on appealing? cheers.

I have recieved a parking penalty notice of £50 from Euro Car Parks but they have written my registration down wrong. Where they were supposed to write an "E", it looks like an "L" because they haven't pressed hard enough on the carbon paper. Does anyone know if this makes the ticket invalid? Thanks!
