PCN from Highview Parking - Totton Retail Park, Commercial RD, Southampton

[taximan45]

Hello,

My sister in law has just recieved a PCN form a company called Highview Parking. She overstayed in an anpr covered retail car park. She parked at night, so obviously the shops were all closed. They are asking for £85 reduced to £50 if she pays within 14 days. Is this one worth ignoring or should she appeal it?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Hi,

I agree, do not ignore. As it stands, she would need to appeal to Highview as the keeper, not the driver. Never name the driver. Always say, 'the driver'

She can use any grounds for this part of the appeal. Insufficient lighting is OK but it doesn't really matter as Highview will reject the appeal out of hand. Once they do that, they must give a POPLA code where ther is more chance of it being upheld.

 

In the meantime she should go back to the site in daylight and take some good quality pictures of the signs and whether any of them have lighting. If she (or you) can post up the images of the signs, we can help if they are wrong.

Unfortunately, Google streetview hasn't been updated and the signs there are from the previous operator. What I did notice is that none of the signs had any lighting whatsoever.

 

If you can go back and check the lighting and take pictures of the signs, that would help.

[ericsbrother]

that might be useful in itself, ie when did this company get the right to manage and do they actually have a current contract?

 

That is something to find out later if they decide to big it up.

Best idea is to start your own thread ( Click Here ) but LowLife Parking aren't too much to worry about, they've not got the cojones (in my experience). I've had plenty of tickets from them.

then start a new thread and tell us all about the event, date time etc and when you got the letters, what you have done if anything and so on.
