2X pcn in private car park

ITGuy90

Yes "The Traffic Management Act 2004".

Do I risk parking there knowing I have paid and will probably get another ticket?
There's nowhere else to park, and I can't not go to work!

NO I would NOT risk parking there. You need to tell your employer this is making your attendance untenable and what are they going to do, tomorrow, to address this matter before you have a pile of PCNs and in future, the risk of bailiffs knocking if you drop the ball in any of the appeals now ahead of you (i.e. if you miss appealing one). These are real parking tickets with real risk involved, and a chance of a hefty bill - why should you pay these? Not saying they cannot be appealed but you are playing with fire to collect lots.

Are you sure you are parking in the right bay?

Show some pics on pepipoo forum urgently in a new thread asking for some help & advice and prepare for the long road of appealing several PCNs at once and keeping tabs on the replies, matching them to the right PCN, then getting the NTOs and matching those up correctly, etc. You are going to need to be very organised.

Think where else you might park in the morning. There must be somewhere unrestricted or a Supermarket or something you could park for the morning until this is sorted out URGENTLY by your employer. You need to get very assertive, you can't wait and this thing about 'some bloke issuing permits' sounds wrong.

Still need to establish if you have a mock up PCN .
It should give you a postal address to send your payment to on the actual PCN notice.
Is it
PO Box 499

The sainsbury's there has a time limit of about 2 perhaps 3 hours and requires in-store purchase to get a refund on the ticket.

It seems so unfair that I have to do all this messing around when it's their error I'll try on the Pepipoo forum as you suggested.

Yes.
I'll take a photograph of one of the ticket things and attach shortly.

Attach it on a pepipoo thread, not here. You need urgent help but mainly from your employers.

ITGuy90

Okay, thanks

what can the employer do though?

Coupon-mad

I thought you said the employer handed out permits? Now would be a good time to stop that deduction from your wages and address what's happened? Check whether you've been using the wrong bay?

''I work for a company who pays directly out of my wages to a private car park.''

ITGuy90

Oh I see. There are no assigned bays, it's a pay and display car park.

Certainly don't park in it again without paying or having the permit and chase up where the permit you should have is, very quickly.

The only scope here is if the permit exists and the council accept an informal appeal that the permit was delayed.
Scope for challenging the ticket is low, they rarely get things like off street parking orders wrong.
So far you are £50 out of pocket, do not park again without this permit or paying the meter charge.
