PE ANPR PCN - Crown Wharf Walsall

[big blue one]

Good evening,

 

As below I have received this Parking charge notice from Parking eye. hopefully you can help.

 

The notice was initially sent to my employer,

they informed the company of my details and

 

I have since received the letter today the event was on the 11/12/16 as per the below details and image.

 

Essentially,

I drove onto the car park,

looked for a space for 20 minutes unsuccessfully

so jumped out whilst my wife drove round looking for a space.

I managed to get what I wanted before she found a space so got back in the car and we left.

 

Do I have to pay this?

am I bang to rights?

 

image is attached...

 

All help is greatly appreciated.

Have you had a response?

For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under.

There are two official bodies, the BPA and the IAS. If you are unsure, please check here it states POPLA As the appeals service?

OK it is for parking so you can appeal and say that the driver drove around looking for a space for 20 minutes but was unable to secure one so left without parking. This means that there has been no breach of contract as there was no opportunity to read the signage and consider it and agree to be bound by its terms and also as the demand is for a parking charge, which is not applicable as there was no parking event to incur such a charge.

 

They are unlikely to allow your appeal but will have to give you a POPLA code so you can appeal to the "independent" adjudicator. This costs them money so go for it when they offer.

Come back here when you get a response from PE
