Supermarket Parking fine - halstead council PCN

[4148boome]

Hi All,

 

I have aquirred several tickets from a supermarket car park, that have been issued by a local authority.

I called The British Parking Association and they asked me to scan a ticket. They told me there were at least 5 errors in the ticket and it was unenforcable

I now need to write to the local authority and challenge these tickets, and would seek advice on how to word the letter.

any comments?

i have attached the ticket with reg no and ticket no deleted.

cheers sweeny,

now i need a knowledgable someone to take a look at the ticket and confirm that it is unenforcible.

the Parking assoc told me that there is a spelling mistake, no grid ref for the parking bay, the wrong act quoted at the top, the ticket issuer not being in uniform?

 

any comments would be appreciated, plus some suggestions for a letter to challenge

The BPA was talking rubbish -again ! This looks like a valid ECN, pay up or fight it in Magistrate's court. Check the 2005 Off-street Order to see that it covers the location where the ticket was issued.

Have you got the back? what is Contravention H?

Hi H,

 

a contravantion H is: 'the vehicle was parked in excess of the maximum permitted time'

Was it a Pay & Display? or a free carpark with a time limit?

 

how long did you overstay?

 

and how did you acquire multiple ECNs?

hy H

it is a free car park with a 2hour limit, no return for 4 hrs.

 

over stayed about 1 hour

 

the reason i have picked up multiple tickets is that i am involved in a retail business adjacent to the car park, and go in and out during the day. then you get involved and lose time

 

can i actually defend these tickets on the grounds of the driver at the time was not the owner of the vehicle?

Don't know if the ticket is enforcable or not but why are the local authority issuing tickets if it's a supermarket car park? surely it has to belong to the council?

Check the Order.
