8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] (346) Southgate Park, Stansted, CM24 1PY

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

Has BPA Logo at the bottom of the front page but refers to POPLA for the appeals
 

I have used this car park complex many times whilst picking up relatives from the airport.

I decided to park in this particular spot opposite Starbucks and walked over to McDonalds to grab some breakfast.

I was blatantly unaware that I had parked spot that had a sign that said Starbucks only.

I mean in this carpark there are so many signs I've just realised that one is specifically for McDonalds, one does not matter and the other for Starbucks and so on.

It has been 66 days since 15th October.

Do I have any grounds to appeal this?

I have read various other posts for this site whereby the keepers have sent emails to Starbucks and Eurogarges etc.

Please advice as I really would rather not want to pay a £60/100 parking charge.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Forum.

This is a well known scam site where Met is so easy to park in the wrong car park. Therefore it follows that the signage is not good enough. As it has been going on for a long time, it also follows that there is no inclination on behalf of those involved to amend the situation.

And why should they.  So many visitors there will just pay up to avoid either paying more once they pass the 14 day discount period and they want to avoid going to Court. So Met collects all their money and shares it out with Starbucks and Macdonalds

It is a disgusting situation. So many people are handing over money needlessly. it is unlikely that Met will take anyone to Court because the ripoff may spur the Courts to financially punish them. So yes they will threaten court action so that some more people will pay up but why risk having their scam being broadcast when they are doing very well financially without taking anyone to Court.

As far as the lateness of the PCN is concerned, because the land is covered by airport Byelaws they do not have to send out their PCNs within 14 days as the keeper can never be liable for an airport PCN. Only the driver is liable.

Expect to get loads of rubbish from Met, low life debt collectors and a bunch of rent-a-mug solicitors which can all be ignored. All you have to watch out for is a possible letter of Claim. Come back to us for a snotty reply to them. They should then crawl back into the slime where they belong.

If the dates are correct the NTK is way out of time to create keeper liability, it ends there.

Well done for filling in the forum sticky and doing research about contacting Starbucks/Euro Garages.  We wish everyone who comes here would do the same!

You've seen how to get the invoice cancelled by Starbucks/Euro Garages - copy what the others who have success stories did.
