Parking eye ANPR PCN - 10 mins stay - lido car park Margate Kent

[Lambstout4]

My son received a parking charge notice for 3/8/18.

 

There is a picture showing him entering the car park at 11.34am and the a picture of him leaving it 10 minutes later at 11.44.

 

He did not leave his car but was looking for directions on his phone so pulled in to legally use his phone to find a map to show him where to go.

 

As he never left his car he had assumed he didn't need to pay to park and so just left.

 

He has a £100 charge which will reduce to £60 if he pays within 14 days.

Surely he shouldn't have to pay a parking charge if he didn't actually park?

 

Is this something that is worth appealing?

 

I'd really appreciate some help on this.

Many thanks

Ok good

 

There is a minimum 10 mins grace period

 

They know this

But are just naughty bits waving to scare people

 

Pers id sit on you hands until /if you get a letter of claim

[Lambstout4]

What and not appeal it?

[dx100uk]

IMHO not worth it

they know the Minimum 10 mins rule

 

await the letter of/before claim

 

see what others think .

I agree, wait for them to waste their money getting rentathreats to write to you and then when they tell you they are going to sue you then you remind them that they have failed to adhere to the BPA Cop that gives a MINIMUM 10 minutes grace period.

 

No need to say why you were there, that isnt their business.

They supposedly have a 15 point quality control system in place to make sure that they only send out correct NTK's but the trith is they dont check anything, they rely on computer saying yes and then just post it.

 

Ultimately, by NOT paying he hasnt agreed to their terms so is just trespassing and that is nowt to do with PE as they arent the landowner
