Premier Park Parking Charge Notice

[MomoaGirl]

Hi All, I am new here and would really appreciate someone’s help?

My partner has received, out of the blue, a Final Demand for a parking charge notice. Stating that 2 previous letters were sent out on Seperate dates and due to the time lapsed we are no longer entitled to appeal against the PCN and have incurred additional charges making the original charge of £60 go up-to £110.

We wrote a letter back and explained the issue (that we weren’t even aware of the notice) and requested to appeal based on the mitigating circumstances. We received a further letter acknowledging receipt but ignored any plea for appeal and demanded payment in full within 14 days.

We approached the POPLA service and requested their help and today we have received a response advising that they have approached Premier Park for an appeal reference number on our behalf and that Premier Park have refused to cooperate. POPLA have advised that this is as far as they can get involved and suggested either paying the fine or seeking legal advice.

we are desperate for help as I have been out of employment due to long-term ill health since February and we are financially on our knees and unable to pay the money - Yet if we don’t pay it will only get worse and paying legal help is just out of the question.

Can anyone at all please advise? I have read that private parking charge enforces cannot legally force you to pay however I don’t want to leave this to get any worse?

any help would be immensely appreciated, thanking you in advance

Kind Regards

Can't see that second letter posted.

SAR to Premier for all the documents they hold about you

ostell thank you for your response. Please forgive me but what does SAR mean?

In addition to this we today received a letter from a debt recovery company (acting on behalf of Premier Park) demanding The new amount of £170 - this was issued only seven days after the last letter we received, despite being advised we had 14 days to pay the £115 charge (deadline Tuesday 16th November) Surely this is illegal/unenforceable as it is tantamount to harassment?! They are not giving us a chance to fight this at all?!!

Please also see both (re-attached) documents :-

Thankyou so much! I shall do this ☺️

So the PCN was issued on the 19th August. When was the parking event? Have you got the first letter received, shortly after that?

Forget debt collectors, they can do anything but use lots of red ink

proof of posting is free certificate of posting from a post office

ostell Hi ☺️ the actual event was on the 12th august. The first knowledge we had of this was receiving the Final Demand letter out of the blue - they say they sent 2 letters prior to this but we didn’t receive them and because of this we haven’t been afforded a fair chance to appeal and/or gather any evidence (within the 28 day timeframe).

Thanks so much again for all your help

Dear Sirs,

I received your Final Reminder Notice reference number xxxxx for vehicle VRM xxxx dated 19th October for an event allegedly on the 12th August.

This is the first communication I have received from you about this matter. You have therefore failed to comply with the requirements of Schedule 4 of The Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012 namely, but not limited to, failing to deliver a Notice to Keeper within the relevant period of 14 days as prescribed by section 9 (4) of the Act. You cannot, therefore, transfer liability for the alleged charge from the driver at the time to me, the keeper.

There is no legal requirement to name the driver at the time and I will not be doing so.

Any further communication with me on this matter, apart from confirmation of no further action and my details being removed from your records, will be considered vexatious and harassment. This includes communication from any Debt Collection companies you care to instruct.

Yours etc
