Yup - LCP and Harlesden Plaza

Coupon-mad

Knew it! When you mentioned the Land Registry which is quite rare for a PPC to mention, I nearly said 'was this LCP at Harlesden Plaza'! See here:

They know they are stuffed by our POPLA appeals at the moment and anyway people going to the drive-thru don't need a P&D ticket, and their signs differ and the lighting is rubbish - and they have not based their charge on a genuine pre-estimate of loss. I wonder if they could tell from your appeal that you were on this forum, and can't be bothered to waste money at POPLA only to lose again? Daft seeing as they have the leasehold title there (a form of land ownership) so have jumped one hurdle already but still can't manage to put together proper evidence for POPLA.

CM,

As you and others warn that they monitor this site I made a point of wording my appeal rather unconventionally.

The points I raised were:

Not a GPEOL, but didn't use that term, just spelled it out as a penalty unenforceable in English law. They scuppered that themselves by providing a breakdown of loss that amounted to about thirty-something quid;
Pointed out that they claimed I parked for X mins and Y secs. I pointed out their evidence only shows the car was in the car park for that time, not 'parked'. They didn't respond to that;
Said that the driver had not agreed to the contract given nobody would agree to a charge of £100 for less than 15 mins. They didn't respond;
No evidence of a right to charge on this land. They responded robustly with the LR entry proving title absolute.

From other threads I note they can be quite aggressive pursuing others, so puzzled why they caved so readily. Can only assume one of my points touched a nerve, or perhaps something to do with the offer to settle for a tenner.
