Parking Direct at Ealing Broadway station

[cliffy38]

My daughter has been issued with a parking notice from parking direct at Ealing Broadway station. Having spoken to Popla is appears that any idea of appealing is pointless as they seen to be in favour of this company. To save all the hassle I will be paying the £60 fine but want to know if legally Parking direct have to accept 30 x £2 cheques as full and final payment.

Why are you paying an unenforceable invoice - it is not a fine, only Police, Courts and Government can fine you. Do some reading on the forum and you'll get the idea, ignore or send the dispute costs letter, then ignore.

Of course POPLA like this company, they get paid by them (and the others)

Does anybody know who owns the land outside Ealing Broadway station as interestingly enough the other side has double yellow lines which would indicate the Queens Highway. Park Direct refuse to give me the owners details.

This location is infamous. Are they still using the same female to take photographs on a mobile phone ? I would not fear this company.

[cliffy38]

It is using her Mobile phone. Interestingly enough want to speak to the owner of the land to find out whether there was any consequential loss on their side

cliffy38: did you ever get anywhere with finding out about the landlord?

 

Just to remind everyone - NEVER pay these people. In particular the site in Ealing is notorious.

 

There is a specific website set up for information on how to deal with invoices from Park Direct UK Ltd at this particular site outside Ealing Broadway Train Station. Just google Park Direct Ealing (as I can't post links yet).

 

Note that Popla have now been going long enough to get their act in gear a bit more and this site will show you how to WIN in most cases. I believe that Popla gave the impression in the past of favouring this company as people were just not wise as to how to construct their appeal.

yellow paint queens highway ?? may be or they just got some left from another private parking site!.

yellow lines on private parking classed as graffitti

[Jebps]

Yes, I can confirm that this is a private road. The yellow lines mean nothing really. Of course you shouldn't actually 'park' on the lines, but this is the place to drop people off / pickup / etc in this location, not the patrolled bays. This is confirmed by the local council.The trouble is that to the average motorist, they think that by avoiding the double yellow lines and pausing in the bay they are doing the right thing.

[ericsbrother]

Railway land is covered by different laws but then this should be reflected in what is claimed by the parking co as they are most likely limited in what they can and cant do by those laws. There are experts on this on the forum but they generally dont read the parking posts. Need to find out whether it is covered by the Railways Acts.

Hello Jebps

 

Yes, as you are aware, in a recent very appeal to POPLA, Park Direct threw the towel in and simply didn't even attempt to put their case - well and truly spanked and £27 (plus VAT) down on the deal.
