MET PCN - NO NTK Received - BP Stansted SF Connect, CM24 1PY

[Throwaway]

Good evening,

 

I have received a letter from MET Parking Services starting that a fine is now overdue, the problem is, no initial letter was sent.

They are demanding payment within 14 days, what is the best way forward. I go to Stansted a lot and I'm not 100% sure the charge is genuine as it was from a few months ago.

 

Date of incident is the first week of November and this is the first letter I have received regarding this (today).

can you scan up the document where they use the word FINE please??

My bad, it doesn't mention 'fine'

[dx100uk]

why didn't you get the NTK?

haven't moved recently have you?

[Throwaway]

We moved mid December and have had a redirection service put in place for mail too. I have no idea why we haven't received it.

[dx100uk]

have you updated DVLA licence and V5C??

probably went to the old address

 

I believe some of these PPC letters state do not redirect on them.

Yes, all of those were done just before our move too. We were at the old address for 5 weeks after the incident, surely it would've come during that period.

 

EDIT: I am speaking on behalf of my father btw.

Hi

I have just looked at the site in question from Google Street View and while I can read the sign at the entrance, it just states BP customers only, Max stay 30 minutes. While the images of the site in question are from 2017, that is the only sign I can see. Up to date photographs should be taken as if the sign at the entrance is the only one, they cannot invent a charge with those details printed for the simple reason. Double yellow lines on private land are basically graffiti and have no legal standing.

 

The first port of call should be the manager of the petrol station.

 

I am going to alert BP via Twitter to see what they have to say on this (if at all)

[ericsbrother]

they never send them out in time so no surprise this is the first he has heard of this.

My advice will be to write to the DVLA and ask who has appleid for the keeper details and when. Then once you ahve this info you can complain to the ICO about the DVLA handing it out without a reason to do so if there is any mistakes in MET's procedure.

use this info to tell them to foxtrot oscar later. In the meanwhile ignore them completely

The site is a known problem

also get your dad to post instead of you so we can get the precise answers to any future questions.

This thread seems to have petered out without a definitive answer. The same has just happened to me and I'm not sure what to do. We haven't moved, we've been at the same house for 10 years but we had no notification until this overdue notice.

 

I guess the law has moved on since this thread was started and there are lots of posts about the BP garage at Stansted, so I suspect contacting the manager won't help (judging by the posts they really couldn't care less). Any advice appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi, 

 

I forgot to update the thread. We complained saying we didn't receive it to BP on twitter. After a few emails we got a letter saying they're going reduce the pcn to the initial amount. 

[lookinforinfo]

Throwaway it is a shame you didn't come back to us as we would have advised you still to ignore them. Looks like they were trying the vanishing ticket [problem] that would not have stood up in Court even if they had been stupid enough to try and sue you.

[Throwaway]

Oh wow. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, but if it does I'll keep that in mind!

[dx100uk]

so you paid?

email removed we don't allow that tony
