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

 

 

I would appreciate advice please.  

 

My office relocated in July due to downsizing and I was given a parking permit (secondhand) to park in the road. 

 

I promptly sent a copy of the amended permit to my HR department for them to notify the parking company,

displayed the permit on my car at all times, and forgot about it ...

 

I received a PCN for an infringement 10 days ago.  

My work have told me to appeal before they will agree to pay it. In good faith,

 

I had expected my HR department to transfer the permit to my vehicle. 

HR have not yet investigated as to why this was not transferred as the person is on annual leave currently.

 

Possibly my email could have been caught in junk mail as there was an attachment with a picture from my mobile phone.

I failed to ask for proof of the transfer to my vehicle, which in hindsight I should have.

 

I have not yet appealed as advised in the topic by silverfox1961. 

I have also noted that I should not give them my email address.

 

Do I have grounds for an appeal?  

 

Thank you for any assistance.

who owns the land?

your works contract with permission to park there far exceeds any speculative invoice.

 

i notice these are operator pictures so a PCN should have been affixed to the car

not sneaky pictures thru trees.

 

do NPE patrol the area?

or is this a local who takes pictures and dobs people into NPE for a backhander?

[NumptyNooNoo]

At old building, we had to move three cars off work driveway to allow ambulance to take work colleague to a&e. NPE Parking operator pounced and was about to slap tickets on moved cars. 

No, no notice stuck on my vehicle. The roads have private parking enforcement.

[dx100uk]

well they can't have it bothways. is this a anpr capture or a windscreen PCN

 

those are clearly NOT ANPR capture pictures

they are from, as you say, a mobile patrol operator.

 

that means, if you read the link you posted to fill out the details questionnaire, they should not have issued a PCN through the post within 14 days

but a Notice to Keeper issued between 29-56 days

 

so as usual NPE have screwed up already

[NumptyNooNoo]

That's good to know. I will take picture of notice board & ANPR cameras in morning. Landowners are about 30 houses in the parking scheme.

i bet there are no ANPR cameras, those photos are not from an ANPR camera system

In the car park, do the signs say National Parking Enforcement or NPE? Could you please post upthe car park signs at the entrance and dotted around the car park especially where the signs are worded differently.

They have shot themselves in the foot, If you haven't appealed, dont do,  they would be very silly if they carried on with this, but PPC's are greedy and not honest brokers. Those sign pics would be very useful.

The private land is actually two parallel roads with another at right angles.  The properties are a mix of residential and businesses.

 

There are two ANPR cameras and it is quite possible that the one on the corner overlooked my car.  However, an operator would have had to take a close up picture of the number plate as there was a car directly behind mine.  I had a permit on display on my windscreen and the number plate changed in ink from the previous employee's to mine

Was there a photo of your car taken from the front showing the permit on show?

Which photo is the one that is at the entrance to the parking area please?

I don't see the address of NPE on any of the signs.

NPE were brought to book some time ago for calling themselves NPE Ltd on their signs since a company is already registered as NPE Ltd. Shame they have amended it on your area-it would have been one more black mark against them.
