Haven Bank Retail Park Exeter - parking charge

We have received a parking charge from SMART PARKING for £90 or £54 if paid within 14 days. 

 

The letter shows a photo of our car entering the car park and exiting site.

The offence date was on 23rd April with the letter dated 06 May.

I received the letter today 09 May. 

We are customers at the bowling alley.

We must have missed the parking signboard.

 

Is there a way to appeal or contest these charges as the amount is too excessive?

 

Thank you.

Fill the forum sticky information in as I think that's out of time to create keeper liability.

 

In the meantime do nothing, do not contact the PPC, all you have is a speculative invoice, it's not a fine and can only end up in court if the PPC decides to chance their arm and that's fairly rare these days.

 

What is the alleged breach of their silly made up rules that you have supposed to have committed?

That was a very good first post-you're not so much of a newbie.

Could you please post up your PCN . I suspect it is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 on probably two counts. That means that the alleged debt cannot be transferred from the driver to the keeper. As they do not know who the driver is they are a bit stuck.

However that has never stopped the scumbags from trying to get money from the keeper anyway.

Thanks.

Hopefully all works out well in the end.

I was talking to a colleague and two of his family members faced the same thing.
