PE parking charge notice in hospital

sweetsheep84

Hi all, I have tried reading the threads but none of them seem to match our circumstances, so I started a new thread.

My other half delivers in London and he was in a certain hospital's delivery area for 15 minutes back in October. PE sent us a letter stating the vehicle was unauthorised to park in the area and now demanding £100 charge.

I thought I should ignore it but OH said he wants to appeal it. What is best to do?

What if it is a hired van?

From the thread pointed to:

* COMPANY, LEASE OR HIRE CARS ANYWHERE IN THE UK

In the case of a company car or hire car, the above advice differs. You would have to appeal EARLY to hook the PPC in your direction, before they get a chance to get the keeper's details from the DVLA or equivalent. You should also warn the owner/keeper (Fleet Manager) not to pay if they do get a letter about it because they have no business to get involved in a fake PCN you have already appealed as driver, and you won't reimburse them if they are daft enough to pay it.

If the hire/lease co has named you as the driver that is a good thing as it removes them from the loop entirely and then you can follow the above advice as appropriate to your case - but check and see if they have charged an admin fee. Challenge that admin fee with the Fleet Manager, Hire firm or your HR Manager, if your car use t&cs do not support this deduction for a mere invoice (as opposed to a fine/penalty).
