Parking Eye falsely issued PCN

As I simply don't trust any of these outfits I wanted to just check that I am in the right. Vehicle was photographed in and out and a PCN was sent to the keeper issued with the claim that the inappropriate charge had been paid. In the duration of the stay in the carpark the driver actually purchased tickets in two lots - one for £2 the other for £5 totalling £7. £7 purchases 7 hours which exceeded the actual time spent in the carpark by 40 minutes. There is a sign that says -essentially -that you can pay prior to leaving. Because of the low cunning of these companies I kept the tickets and have the proof. It would be a very different matter if,after nearly three weeks, I had discarded them. Can I make something of this? I trapsed back to the carpark check on the charges etc and take photos of the sign etc, which involved an hour round trip and engaging in the appeals process all takes up time. They claim to have a contract with the driver and if so aren't they in breach! Furious about this!

this blog and court case would be persuasive if it went to popla or to court

especially as no loss had occurred and you tried to "do the right thing"

ps:- the contract is "always with the driver" anyway, but due to POFA2012 for england and wales they can try to make the keeper responsible, and in any case they could go to court and ask the judge to consider that the keeper and driver are one and the same in any of the 4 countries of the UK

Thanks for that. I have contacted the blog you suggested.
