Parking Charge Notice - NTK - format of photos

[souper]

Hi, Could you help with with a query about ANPR photos on a Parking Charge Notice received from a private parking company. There are very few posts about this company so I do not want to name them here in case my notice is identified. I've looked on line but cannot see a notice in the same format as the one received. On the notice there are 4 photos, one of the back and one of the front of a vehicle whose registration number is illegible and two smaller cropped images of the number plate of the vehicle which are clear. Can it be claimed that the photos of the whole car do not provide sufficient evidence that it was the same vehicle reg as appear in the cropped photos? Does zooming in on the reg. plate (assuming that is how they got the reg. number to be clear) constitute enhancing an image contrary to BPA's code of conduct (the parking company is a member of BPA). The photos will not form the only grounds for appealing to the parking co., and, if refused, to POPLA. The other reasons for appealing include poor, unlit and therefore illegible signage at the entrance to the car park; poor signage elsewhere in the car park and therefore no contract created as result; misleading Protection of Freedom Act stuff on the PCN and various BPA code of practice breaches; no indication of how images are to be used/Data Protection issues. re signage. Anyway views on the photos would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Souper.

Hi & welcome to LB.

Imho, it would be rather disingenuous to argue on the one hand that the alleged ANPR capture is not related to the vehicle, but then also go on to argue points which may give the inference that the alleged parking incident did in fact occur.

I doubt it. Enhancing means changing in some way, surely.

The number plate will have been read with an infra red camera and can get a clear, often seperate, phot of the number plate.

For help post the notice on here, with identifying details redacted, but leave the dates. If you want help you need to post the details. If you've read other threads you will see that nearly everyone posts the ticket, hence names the company.
