Excel ANPR PCN Letter Of Claim - Appealed - Gallagher retail park, Huddersfield, HD5 0AN

[lookinforinfo]

It's a shame that you threw away the original PCN. That document lays out their claim plus includes the wording in the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 .If they get the wording right they can then transfer the liability form the driver to the keeper if the charge is not paid within 28 days. The Act has been in force for 12 years now so the braindead at Excel still haven't probably managed to do it right yet  

So it's good that you have not as yet named the driver. If the PCN is incorrectly worded then neither yourself nor the driver can be pursued. You can send them an SAR where the should send you the details that have on you including the original PCN.  If they fail to respond in the allotted time you can sue them and when they send you their Witness Statement they have to include their first PCN.

I expect they are using ANPR to record your  time in the car park. Sadly for them that is not the parking period since there is some driving involved in getting to a parking place and then driving from there to the exit plus being held up en route because of traffic, pedestrians etc.

On top of that there is a Consideration period and a grace period which are 5 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. These times are MINIMUMS something that the ignoramuses at Excel have failed to grasp so do not worry- your hat trick is in sight.

Write to DCBL asking them if the £70 charge is made by them or are Excel demanding the charge. Also ask  if the charge includes vat. If it does why are you expected to pay their vat? Explain that you will need to know these answers before you go to Court and they already know that you are not going to pay so you are looking forward to going to court.

Give it a few days and write the same letter to Excel apart from reversing  DCBL and Excel's names at the beginning. IE write to Excel asking them if the £70 charge is made by them or DCBL. Then continue with what was asked in the first paragraph.
