LCP Parking

[-sie-]

I have received a Parking Notice from LCP.

 

I play a geocaching / geolocation game

 

Essentially go to within 50m of a GPS location, press button on phone and go to the next.

 

One of these sites is easy to access from this LCP car park. Drive in, turn round, drive out. No stopping involved.

 

The particular day I did this twice. Once in the morning and once in the evening.

 

What the company has done is couple the first entry time and photo with the last exit time and photo and say I didn't pay parking between the two.

 

Do I email and explain and tell them to go bother someone else or ignore?

 

Edit : Btw it is titled 'Parking Charge Notice'

I agree that ignoring is best but dont delete your evidence as it may be VERY useful for yourself and anyone else who gets caught out like this should the threats become more serious.

I have no evidence I am afraid. I have now received a Notice to Keeper.

 

Is ignore still the best idea? I read some other forums that state things changed October 2012?

Have you admitted you are the driver? if done by camera was it within 14 days of the event?

 

If not - definitely a soft appeal to POPLA and then a hard appeal.

And also try pepipoo. (I am off now and won't be back for a while). Sorry I can't help further.

Here is the 14 day rule which applies to ANPR cameras

 

 

from Sch 4 POFA 2012 para. 9:

 

(4)The notice must be given by—

(a)handing it to the keeper, or leaving it at a current address for service for the keeper, within the relevant period; or

(b)sending it by post to a current address for service for the keeper so that it is delivered to that address within the relevant period.

(5)The relevant period for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) is the period of 14 days beginning with the day after that on which the specified period of parking ended.

Could you please comment on your reasons?

well apart from I don't think we've ever seen anything of lpc actually doing court.. [hens teeth]

 

you might find it better to read a few threads here

 

but be aware, there is a 'movement' at present

that advocates doing all kinds of things.

 

but, in essence' it makes little odds

 

if your are half clever, you'll see it all focuses on one or two 'vocal' newish members

 

the bottom line is the oct 2012 changes didn't really move the goalposts at all.

 

IF IF IF it ever got to court.

 

never ever pay,before a judge tells you - that's for sure
