P.C.N on hospital car park.
T.W.P
Posts: 4 Newbie
Hi, been issued a few pcn's over the last few months on a hospital car park for not displying a permit, I work at the hospital but hardly use the car park, maybe weekends when there is chance of a parking space,then I just put a sign in stating where I was working, which used to be ok, but now we have a new jobsworth on site..now these pcn's are issued by the Acute Hospital Trust (NHS). 1st offence £5.00,2nd offence £10.00, subsequent offences £65.00.
I have not payed but they do state they will obtain details from dvla and forward to debt recovery.
Just wondering what kind of clout they have as they are not private or council run, which I have read a lot of on these forums..

No clout whatsoever, if it's not council then it's just another private parking scam. Let them spend £2.50 with the DVLA then ignore all the fraudulent tat you will receive in the post.0 -
Loads of NHS tickets are issued every year, and ignored. You'll probably find if you Google any phone number given on any threatogram letters they send you, that this is not the NHS but a private firm doing the begging/threatening.
A quick Google found lots of forum results about NHS private parking tickets, happy reading of the results that link automatically gives you.
Don't pay.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Chancers, don't pay them...bin their tat."We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!"0

HI, on the slip they issue you actually pay on site to the trust, no mention of any private firm.0

More problematical, not sure best way to proceed personally.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

it is not an offence to park in a private car park.
is this hospital car park council owned--unlikely.
who manages the car park?0 -
Even when the NHS puts their name to a court case, it doesn't win https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/26756090
