pcn A2 cobham serv.pdf      

this is the PCN I received from Euro Car Parks demanding £100 for a 47 minute stay at these services even though I was a customer and there was no signage where I was parked and i can prove i was a paying customer.

Can i do anything?

I've had to hide your pdf, I'm afraid. You need to remove your name, car reg, PCN number, licence plates in the photos and anything else that might identify you, please.

Bongo90 on their thread explains the "reason" for the rubbish you've received.  You are allowed to stay for free for 35 minutes and after have to pay £1.  In what is to all intents & purposes a motorway service station.

Obviously don't pay, their signs are tiny and placed well away from the entrance to the shops so they would be unlikely to do court and if they did do court they would lose.

For a start their PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 -the Act that covers private car parking.

That means that the charge cannot be transferred from the driver to the keeper should the driver not pay. As anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your car, Euro will have a hard job winning. Especially as the Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person.

Should I just ignore the PCN and not even appeal it ?

[honeybee13]

Especially don't appeal it, you could open a can of worms and give them information that's useful to them and makes your life harder.

It would be worth reading some other threads here to understand how PPCs work. They try to frighten people into giving up.
