McDonalds/MET Parking fine - Colindale London NW2

[LondonKid]

Hi All,

I have been directed here from searches regarding this little racket run by MaCadees :taunt:. Here is a brief summary:

I have received the same PCN from MET parking Services because it appears that I had over-parked in the car park by 10 minutes. I was aware that you simply could not park in the car park without being a McDonalds customer, but didn't realise that they were being that strict and pedantic. While in the restaurant, a MET official did come round twice to ask if we were driving and what our reg. number was. he than simply crossed off the reg. number from his little notepad. because of this I thought nothing off the time restraints etc. we carried on with the meeting and ordered more teas/coffees etc. We had been to that particular restaurant many a times in the past - and even after this particular even occurred - so like I said thought nothing of it. Until I received this so called invoice for overstaying.

I have noticed that Mystery1 has been very helpful around this forum - God bless you man. So I was wondering if I can also ask for your assistance in this matter. I have attached a copy of the NTK ( notice to keeper) that I received. Also I have attached a "Challenge Template" that I have found on a different website - not sure if this is of any help.

Mystery1 - you help in this will be most helpful.

Regards
LK

If they know who was driving then keeper liability, a big defence point, is null.

The MET/McD contracts do not conform to the BPA code of practice although a few popla decisions seem to have survived this fault but many more haven't.

Contact the manager of McD and see if they can get it cancelled.


Also appeal to Met.


Dear Sirs,


I, as registered keeper, wish to invoke your appeals procedure. The driver was a genuine customer.


It is noted that your notice to keeper is fundamentally flawed when compared to PoFA 2102 schedule 4 para 9.


Should you reject my appeal please supply a popla code.




Yours etc








If/when you get a popla code please let me know.

Hi Mystery1,

I have been away for a few days - and have received the following in my absence.
What would you advise?

It doesn't look like I would have a case - other than pay up. But any further advice would be appreciated.
I'm just going to PM you a query question - i do hope you don;t mind.

Many Thanks

The chances of winning at popla are good although there are a few bad decisions coming out too so there are no guarantees. Let me know if you wish to appeal to popla. Any additional evidence, such as signs, are helpful.

Hi Mystery

Many Thank for the reply.
If then chance of winning the appeal is uncertain, than is it worth appealing? As i have this chance of paying the half price...where as if i lose the appeal than it would be 100 pounds. I'm just looking at the worst case scenario.

Also, what additonal evidence cpuld i use? Are you referring to like Pics of the car park....or the restaurant itself?

Thanks
