Hi Everyone,
I have been reading these threads for a couple of days and there is lots of helpful information that I am extremely grateful for.
I received a PCN from MET for overstaying in the car park at McDonalds Basildon by approx 30 minutes where I was a genuine patron and made 2 purchases during the stay. I did not see the signs stating that there was a maximum of 90 minutes stay in the car park.
I appealed to MET using a standard letter I found online and they ignored all of my points and sent me the standard appeal rejection letter.
My car is a company car and the PCN was sent to my place of work who forwarded it onto myself. I mistakenly identified myself on the appeal to MET as I had not read the advice here that states not to do so. MET ignored the fact that I had identified myself on their rejection letter and forwarded the rejection to my place of work once again with no mention of my name.
I am now going to appeal to POPLA using one of the standard templates I have found on this site, but I am confused as to which of the points are relevant to the fact that it is a company car and I am not the registered keeper.
Would somebody kindly point me in the right direction of which points I should use from the following for template:
1. The charges are penalties and not a contractual charge, breach of contract or trespass. They are not a genuine pre estimate of loss either.
2. In order to form a contract the signs need to be clear so that they must be seen by an average person. They were not. There was no breach of contract.
3. MET parking do not hold sufficient interest in the land to offer a motorist a contract to park. They have no locus standi.
4. MET parking have failed to adhere to the BPA code of practice.
5. Unreliable, unsynchronised and non-compliant ANPR system.
6. Keeper liability.
Thanks very much in advance
