Euro carparks

[Matty B]

Hi
Today I received a notice from Euro car parks relating to a 43 minute stay at the Wetherspoons in Kings Norton Birmingham. We called in for a drink two weeks ago and while we did see signs we kind of assumed they were similar to the Wetherspoons in Northfield Birmingham which is a 3 hour limit.

I have called the pub who say if we call in they will cancel it which we will do but am I right in thinking these are not legally enforceable. When I go tomorrow I will take photos of all the signs I can see.

Any advice would be gratefully received

Legally enforceable?
If you ignore the PCN, and the follow up letters and the court papers, they will certainly obtain a county court judgment in their favour.
If you contest the letters, they will probably still initiate a court claim, but if you defend that they might well discontinue their claim.
If it then progresses to a hearing you might well win, although it is a bit of a lottery and nothing is certain.

Take up Wetherspoons offer to have the PCN cancelled, and obtain confirmation in writing.

If you can post up copies of the redacted PCN & signage we might then possibly be able to suggest a line of defence if the parking company refuse to withdraw

Do not identify the driver if you communicate with them, or when posting on here

Unfortunately before I read your reply I went to the pub and handed over the notice but have the name. I also entered my registration on the console- you need to be Sherlock Holmes to find it- there is one on a long bar- you know how big Wetherspoons are . My partner is going on line tonight to look for the credit card transaction. I have appealed.

What I find disgraceful is that they say, if you appeal to POPLAR? you can not get the discounted rate. I think that might be an unfair term but that's another story.

I am sorry my scanner is letting me scan then print but my MacBook will not save it to a file- tomorrow evening or sat I can use my partners filth PC to do it or try and reinstall the HP 'easy scan' app.

I have to play the best game as I am on a limited income at the moment

I have referred to 'we' in all correspondence apart from today when i said the signage in the entrance was impossible to see and safely drive if turning left into the carpark.

If you have trouble posting PCN etc to this site you can upload to a hosting site and post a link here

Just an update- I logged on to the website today and Wetherspoons have been as good as their word and the case is closed. I hate saying anything good about a company owned by Tim Brexit/Go and work in Tesco Martin but here I have to.

Well done
Just take a screen shot and print & keep for 6 years a copy of that closure as parking companies are not unknown to have resurrected such cases a couple of years down the line!

Thanks- will do
