MET Parking Ticket @ Virgin Active Fulham

[Max_2016]

(Previously posted in welcome forum, sorry!)

Hello,

I'm new to this site so apologies for any etiquette's missed.

So, Ive been a member with Virgin Active in Fulham for about three years. Always parked in the bays as I've seen you get ticketed for not doing so.

This morning Ive gone to the gym as per, come out to find a ticket. The reason stated is that I didn't have a Virgin Active permit. The funny thing is, I did. Will attached images from their own site for proof. The only concern I have is that it has fallen slightly behind my residents parking permit. The Ticket guy is clearly a jobs worth for ticketing me, but if I get down to it with appealing, do I have a leg to stand on?

I also found a previous post similar to mine with advise from M1 to send the below, which I have done via info@metparking & appeal@metparking.


Dear Sirs,

I, as registered keeper, wish to invoke your appeals procedure. The driver was a genuine customer to Virgin and can prove membership if required.

I note that the notice to keeper is fundamentally flawed when compared to the protection of freedoms act 2012 schedule 4 paragraphs 7/8.

Should you reject my appeal, please supply a popla code.
PCN Number: xxxxxx
Vehicle Registration: xxxxx

Yours Sincerely,

Appreciate any advice and help.

Thanks,
Max

Have you spoken to the gym manager ?

Apart from that everything else is ok although i do prefer not to appeal a notice to driver, rather wait for the notice to keeper.

I've just come off the phone to the manager at the gym and he said they have nothing to do with the car park.

Going to send that email via their website, in the appeal form they ask whether you were Driver or Keeper, will go for Keeper.

What do I do once I have the popla code?

Thanks you for taking the time to respond too, really appreciate it.

You're not the only one. They give out passes but don't deal with fines.

I've sent the appeal, What do I do once I have the popla code?

Post up the PCN, signs etc and i'll sort out a suitable popla appeal.

In the meantime you need to speak to the manager and shame them on social media.
