MET ANPR PCN - Disabled Badge Fell Down - Asda, South Ruislip, Arla Old Dairy Site HA4 0EY

[cossiex]

Hello Everyone,

The situation is

I parked in a disabled bay to go shopping in the car park underneath the Asda store on the Arla old Dairy site, at South Ruislip Middlsex HA4 0EY.

 

The complication here is that I did display a valid Blue Disabled Badge, but unfortunately for myself as I shut the car door to go shopping I did not see the disabled badge fall off the dashboard and fall into the drivers side foot well, I only discovered this on my return to the car.

 

Some weeks later I received a Notice to the registered keeper stating there is a parking charge of £100 for not displaying a Valid Blue Badge in that designated parking space for disabled vehicles.

 

I had read the notice and appealed the notice in legal time due to mitigating circumstances of the unfortunate situation that happened, and sent proof of my disabled entitlement with a covering letter to the address at the back of the notice. I sent it recorded delivery to which they had signed for it at there end in London.

 

I have received no reply from them just another parking charge notice demanding £100 again.

 

I wanted to use an independent body named POPLA to make an independent appeal but they state on there online portal you cannot make an application to them unless you get a verification code from Met Parking Services Ltd to which should come with the reply from them from my letter to them appealing the decision.

 

I have taken it up with the Asda store and  have seen various many store managers to be pushed around from pillar to post each one saying they don't manage their car park and don't own it and so cannot help me in this matter.

 

I don't work due to ill health and I am registered disabled.

 

What should I do now???

This is causing me a lot of mental stress and is affecting my mental health as I cannot afford £100 to give them.

 

Any advice would be kindly appreciated please.

 

Yours faithfully

We've had a lot of success on the forum recently where supermarket chains have told their PPCs to cancel invoices.

 

The pattern was always the same.  The motorists were fobbed off at store manager or area manager level, but once they got on to the CEO there was action.  So e-mail the CEO of Asda, emphasise that you were a genuine customer, that you have a blue badge, attach proof of payment (if you haven't got that the day, time and some of the articles you bought will be enough to trace you) and demand they cancel the invoice.

 

But, belt & braces and all that, please also fill in the info that dx asked for.

Any update here?  I ask as we have someone else being hassled by the MET fleecers in this car park.
