PCN - Parking Eye - Cambridge - Beehive Centre

SHORTENED TEMPLATE APPEAL
Could just do this for Parking Eye or any other PPC:



Dear xxxxxxxx

re PCN number xxxxxxx
I have received your parking invoice impersonating a 'parking ticket' and will be complaining in the strongest terms to your client. No doubt you convinced them that your operation is some sort of 'parking space maximisation scheme' when it is nothing of the sort and is simply there to maximise your own profits.

I decline your invitation to pay or name the driver, neither of which are required of me as the keeper of the vehicle. This is my appeal and all liability to your company is denied on the following basis:
A The amount is neither a genuine tariff/fee for parking, nor is it based upon any genuine pre-estimate of loss.
B You are not the landowner and do not have locus standi.
C Your signage was not sufficiently prominent nor clearly worded and consideration did not flow from both parties, so there was no contract.

If you choose not to cancel this invoice you must issue a rejection letter in reply to my appeal, explaining:
1 The legal basis of your charge (i.e. breach, trespass or contractual fee). As keeper, I cannot be expected to guess the basis of your allegation.
If you try to rely upon ParkingEye v Beavis at POPLA, I will point out that it was a flawed decision, it is not binding, and it is set for the Court of Appeal. There is clearly no commercial justification for this punitive charge and no case law to support it.
2 Proof of your locus standi to offer contracts to drivers at this site.
3 Your explanation of the consideration that you believe flowed from the driver, and from yourselves.
4 A copy of the signage site map and close-up pictures of the signs in situ at the time, taken at a comparable time of day in similar light conditions.
5 The means to make an appeal to POPLA or the IAS.

A certificate of posting will be obtained for all my written responses and I intend to claim my costs when I prevail.

Yep will do when I get time! There is already a link to this page since the other day, saying before the longer template, 'here is a shortened appeal for ParkingEye's online 3000 wordcount appeal box'.

14 days for them to acknowledge appeal, 35 days for acceptance and cancellation or rejection c/w POPLA code.

I wouldn't lie awake waiting for the acknowledgement, but the 35 day rule is a bit more of a requirement, although many play fast and loose with this.

PE generally respond within the 35 days - so a bit of 'waiting time' still for you.
