Ucp pcn

neilpritch

I have just received a Parking Charge Notice from Euro Car Parks. The car was parked in the Bangor Cathedral Multi Storey car park. I did purchase a ticket for 50p which allowed us to park for 1hr. I still have the ticket which shows the time it was bought 13:02, to the time out 14:02. Registration number and ticket number are also on the ticket. The PCN says that no valid pay & display was purchased. The PCN has two photos of the number plate. I have heard of scams at this site but I am almost inclined to appeal the PCN. As far as I am concerned, a ticket was bought and displayed. We were out by 13:41 (as the PCN photo suggests), there was no breach of the terms and conditions at this site (As the PCN suggests). Do I appeal or just ignore? Maybe they were hoping that we threw the ticket away!

Ignoring is no longer an option in England and Wales - and its not been for a long time.

Start by reading this thread, well:

Then post back when you have the bones of a challenge/appeal together if you need more help.

The bones of my challenge/appeal are that I did buy a ticket. I still have the ticket in my possession and the time I was out of the car park was within the time limit of the ticket. The ticket was displayed on the dashboard therefor I see no reason for the pcn unless they are just trying their luck.

Of course they are trying it on, unless you made a slight typo with the car reg (easy to appeal anyway). But don't send your appeal like that - NO 'I did buy a ticket'!!

Read the newbies thread please. Drivers don't appeal, keepers do.

The car Reg is correct and the ticket is legitimate, nothing wrong with it. As a matter of fact and just buy coincidence, someone heard me talking about this and they knew someone who had the same thing happen at the Bangor Multi Storey. Total scam.

The appeal will be written by the keeper, just having problems downloading a photo of the ticket on their website. The Photo is too large to send. Have to convert it to PDF. I just cant understand why the PCN has been produced, as per my original post, the Ticket is legitimate.

Coupon-mad

Yep but don't say 'me/myself/I bought a ticket', must be worded as 'the driver bought a ticket'.

Should I attach a copy of the ticket to the appeal. Or just give them the ticket number. I am also trying to find out the land owner of this site.

Just send a copy if you wish

Dont worry about the land owner to much at this stage.
