Parking Fine Park direct uxbridge active for less car park

Also shall i complain to the DVLA that an attendant was presence and they didn't put anything on the car despite having no cameras in the car park?

The DVLA won't be interested in that. Although in any appeal/defence you would state that the parking company failed to mitigate any loss they claim they have incurred by virtue of the fact that the warden failed to notify the driver at the time. VCS v Ibbotson is the case reference.

What was the specific 'offence'?

Thanks I haven't got the paperwork with me at the moment. I will post the wording this evening. Basically driver drove into the car park got out read the sign and left. The driver is in the second photo which was taken 1 min 30 secs after the first. Park direct claim their attendant saw the driver leave the premise therefore have stated no grace period applies.

The BPA are saying that the 'offence' is 'stopped in a no stopping zone' which somehow I doubt. From your description it looks more like 'driver left site'.

If you can confirm that it's not 'stopped in a no stopping zone' then you could go back to the BPA and tell them they've failed to properly investigate your complaint.

Let us know.

The original letter says "stopping or waiting where stopping or waiting restrictions are in force a a location which has the terms of parking clearly displayed on warning signs"

BPA emailed me this back

There has been no refusal to contact the parking operator in relation to the grace period. We have been in contact with Park Direct Ltd as per our investigations procedures and are aware of, and content with the grace period policy the parking operator has advised at this location. There is no requirement that we make this information available in the public domain.

We have investigated and concluded our investigation as no breach of a point raised in the BPA AOS Code of Practice has been found.
The charge was issued for stopping or waiting where stopping or waiting restrictions apply. The parking operator has supplied photographic evidence as per the attached.

If your appeal is lodged with POPLA within the applicable timescale your appeal will be heard by a suitably qualified assessor. POPLA’s decision is final and binding upon the parking operator but not the motoris

how can they adjudicate on this , the charge is for stopping?


and its arguable that park direct have a contract that includes the words "stopping" , they are a parking Co , and there remit with the BPA/DVLA does not include stopping

ManxRed

No contract.

You cannot be expected to agree to the terms of a contract which is breached the moment you stop to read it. Are you meant to keep driving past until you've read it?

This wouldn't last 10 mins in a court.

Did the driver get any pictures of the signs?

If the keeper is the one being pursued then it's a slam-dunk win ... POFA allows for keeper liability only for parking charges. No stopping/waiting charges are not covered by POFA therefore you can invite the PPC to pursue the driver - whom you shall not be identifying.

where there any signs regarding waiting ?they seem to have a mixed set of signage


this sign is used in some instances , please check if the sign shown at the location is the same









lets not forget this companies history , it is only recently that they have learnt to use a computer (government training thing)
