Norfolk Parking Enforcement Ltd - Dereham Road KFC

A friend has received a letter for parking outside Norfolk Household Services whilst the shop was shut and going into KFC.

Today they received a letter from NPE with a clear photo of their car outside the sign with a date/time stamp.

I have read the newbie thread and amended the standard template with the following amendment (as per another threads suggestion)

(a) The sum does not represent a genuine pre-estimate of loss, nor is it a core price term. In addition the charge is not commercially justified because at the time of the alleged event, the shop (in front of which you claim the vehicle was parked) was closed therefore there can have been no loss to either yourselves or the landowner. I therefore contend it is a disguised penalty and is unenforceable.

They wish to know if it would be of any benefit to state they were using KFC and not impeding on the other shops trade as the shops were shut. I have read the newbie thread but am not sure what to do, is the standard template enough?

    the template (or with suitable amendments is enough)

    any issue with KFC patronage should be brought up with the landowners and a cancellation demanded asap

    its the landowners who employed the PPC, so dont just focus on the PPC and appealing , complain to the employer of the PPC too (and / or the retailers)

    No loss to anyone as shop was closed. Do not name the driver.

    Thankyou for the response, I will get them to send the template off and see if they get a response. One expensive KFC!

    Unless being a KFC shopper gives permission to park where parked then there is no point including this IMO and unless worded carefully could out the driver - which you do not want to do.

    The amended Paragraph a) which you are intending to include covers it.
