Met Parking Services
I received a PCN from Met Parking Services for overstaying at a McDonald's restaurant. I have tried to pay the £60 using their payment systems but to no avail.

I Park Services Ltd and IAP!
Following a disallowed appeal to I Park Services, the appeal has been made to the IPS (rightly or wrongly as per the NEWBIE thread I'm unsure).
