MET Stansted Airport PCN

[ddinev90]

Hello Everyone, I didn't know until now but I have just found out about the MET Parking scam at Stansted Airport. I had apparently parked at the Starbucks bays while they were not open, because at 1am with next to no lighting it is hard to view signs and I have been served with a charge while picking something up from McDonalds for my 24 minute stay there. Is there a way for me to appeal this charge and how likely it is to be successful.

You could ty writing to them along the following lines:


Dear Sirs,
I have received your Notice to Keeper xxxxx for vehicle VRM xxxx

I would point out that as the location of the alleged offence is within the territorial boundaries of Stanstead Airport it is not 'relevant land' as it is already covered by statutory byelaws and is specifically excluded from 'keeper liability' under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
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.

I do not expect to hear from you again, or your debt collectors, except to confirm that no further action will be taken on this matter and my personal details have been removed from your records.
Yours etc

Do not identify the driver if communicating with them, or on here
