Parking Eye PCN _ WON

[Rizo78]

Hi. I'm a newbie here and tried to read as many threads as possible before I posted to see if if my question was answered!!!

my husband went to an Argos store on 28/11/14 (Black Friday) the car park was extremely busy and it took over half an hour before he got somewhere to park. He didn't realise it was a car park with the number plate recognition system and that you only got an hour from entering. We always thought it was an hour from when you park as that is what it's always been in the past!!! Anyway he only went to the one shop and I have the receipt to prove he paid at 13.06. He drove into the car park at 12.26, paid in Argos at 13.06 and left the car park at 13.46. Now my question is can I appeal this? Firstly I wasn't driving the vehicle but I am the registered keeper so do I tell them my husband was driving and secondly the incident happened on 28/11/14 but they only issued the charge notice on 9/1/15 can they take this long to issue it? Sorry for the questions and hope they make sense!!

Dear Sirs,


I, as registered keeper, wish to invoke your appeals procedure. The driver, whom i am under no statutory obligation to name, was a customer of the store (see attached copy of receipt) and was also not parked for the duration claimed as they had to drive around a very busy car park to find a space. It was black Friday. In any event your charges are penal and not a genuine pre estimate of loss.

I also note that your notice to keeper was outside the relevant period as defined by the protection of freedoms act 2012 schedule 4.


Should you reject my appeal please supply a popla code.




Yours etc


Should you get a popla code please come back for more advice.
