Yesterday I receiveda PCN from CE Ltd, issued on 23/5/17 relating to using the car park at my localhospital on 12/5/17.
The PCN shows my cardriving into the car park at 09:24:02 and out of the carpark at 11:59:56 - Iwas attending an appointment at the hospital at that time.
PCN states"Payment not made in accordance with terms displayed on signage"Amount due within 28 days £100, Reduced amount if paid within 14 days £60.
Luckily, I stillhave the ticket I bought from their machine sited in the car park. It has mycorrect registration number printed on it, with a start time of 09.26 andexpiry time of 12.26 - dated 12/5/17 obviously. I followed all the instructionson the machine.
I have looked atvarious threads online including here and I am going to appeal the PCN. I havealso read a suggestion that I should report this to trading standards as Iactually have proof that I paid the required ticket for exactly the time theyare claiming I have not paid for.
I also understandthat as this hospital car park is being managed in direct contravention ofgovernment guidelines as to how hospital car parks should be managed. I intendto complain (at the very least) to the Trust on whose land this serviceruns.
Please can youadvise of an appropriate approach to the initial appeal and how I should reportit to Trading Standards?
Many thanks inadvance.
