Hi,
I have read lots of comments on this company but cannot find anything matching my situation. I parked one evening in a car park used many times before (evenings only) that is used by a number of offices. At 19:53 there we no office lights on so parked as I had done many times. I didn't see any signs because I didn't look as they had not been there before (possibly careless I know).
I now have a PCN issued by CEL so am unsure if I can claim that a) this carpark was empty and none of the offices were currently occupied and b) the signs were new and unexpected. There is no "lost fee" that I can quote as the carpark is otherwise free.
This is quite obviously a way for them to make money by people using a carpark that at that time of the day is not used by anyone else.
Any advice, gratefully received.
