Unfair Parking Charges - Entrapment

[Nurse]

My husband dropped me at Totton Health Centre at exactly 14.00 on Tuesday 24th March for a job interview. I know this as there is a digital clock in the car and I was stressed. He then drove across the road and round the roundabout and into Lidl carpark to buy three bread rolls. He failed to see the parking metre which states that if you press the button you get one and a half hours free parking. He therefore received a ticket timed at 14.05. We think someone must have watched him get out of the car, go into the shop and then issued the ticket, as he can only have been parked for a maximum of two minutes before they ticketed him. This is a fine for £60, increasing to £100, which we do not have (he was made redundant in January). Do you think we should try to write, or will that just delay it and increase the fine to £100? What do you think? The ticket was issued by PPS and is headed 'Parking Charge Notice". Is it legally enforcable?

You'll need to appeal the parking charge asking them to provide a popla code if they reject your appeal. When you get the popla code, post back up here and you'll get lots of help from our knowledgeable Beagles on appealing to popla

I think M1 is the person to speak to on this. They should be along and be able to advise.

Yes ... @mystery1 is our parking appeal 'expert' but he would be telling the OP to appeal and ask for a popla code too :lol:
He'd also be asking for redacted scans or pictures of the ticket/fine!

Those guys ?

If it was a ticket attached to the windscreen just wait until you get a notice to keeper (28-56 days from date).

This gives them extra chances to screw up. Keep everything safe and when the NTK arrives post everything up without your name etc (leave dates).

Sorry Kati I was writing mine at same time as yours but didn't press submit for a few minutes, I wasn't trying to undermine what you said as it wasn't there until I hit submit
