Entering and Exiting Car Park on CCTV - Parking notice
whi2003
Posts: 3 Newbie
Hi
I have been sent a parking notice from a private company Smart Parking. I had no notice put on my windscreen at the time.
I had purchased a 2 hours pay and display ticket, which I returned back in time that was displayed on the ticket, but the time I entered the car park and exited on their CCTV was 2 hours 12 mins. Can this be challenged? What was the point in giving a time on the display of the ticket I purchasedif that was not the time to go by?
I don’t have the display ticket now as evidence as received the parking notice a week later
Thanks in advance

It most certainly can be challenged!
Have a good read of the Newbies Sticky at the top of this forum - that has all the most current info on how private tickets operate and your various avenues for seeing them-off.0 -
its not CCTV either, its ANPR cameras (totally different)0

Write to Trading Standards Office, (Weights and Measures) complaining that cameras used for the collection of monies are incorrectly calibrated .You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

You paid for Parking not Time On Site. 0

Agree with bod1467.
Your appeal should state just that. The signs offer 2 hours parking. It clearly took you some time from entering to find a space, to read the t&c and then to leave. 12 minutes is not an unreasonable time for that and if they choose to dispute it, then you will base any court defence on that.0
