G24 - Wickes, driver left the carpark fine

Muran

Hi

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find the right info for this sort of fine.

I parked in Wickes car park, left the site for half an hour or so, came back and spent £18 in Wickes, left within the time allowed.

2 weeks later I received a PCN from G24 stated I had left the site and must pay £60/£100.

The letter showed front and back licence plates of our car, but no proof of us leaving the site.

I am going to appeal via G24's site, but what shall I say? i.e. don't mention the drivers name, don't mention I left (ask for the proof), tell them I spent money in the shop etc..?

How do I write this up making it sound official and that I know what I'm talking about lol!!

The template seems to be guided towards people who have overstayed and how big the signs were (I didn't even see the bit about leaving, just about how long I could stay)

Did you leave the site as a motorist or as a pedestrian?

It has been answered before, in Judge McIlwaine's Scunnythorpe court.

No 'leaving the site' case has ever reached a county court since, as far as we are aware.

Hi
Yes the driver walked out of the site and returned a while later and spent money in the shop.

No I haven't spoken to the shop manager yet, not had a chance (it's also a 1 hour round trip). Was also expecting him/her to say, "Nothing to do with us, you have to appeal"!!

pappa_golf

but it is upto him , as you stand at customer services with a pile of returns

Muran

Thanks pappa golf, that may be a problem as they (plug points) are now screwed in to the wall. Any other time my husband would have left them un touched for weeks - the law of the sod!!

ask for MANAGER , flutter eyelashes and get hanky ready , or plan B: same manager but go with many hungry niggly children in tow ,

Muran

Lol, will go with the "hungry, niggly children option" they are experts in that!

pappa_golf

remember MANAGER , not help desk !

photocopy the ticket and write your email address on it , ask (or get kids to tell ) him to get it cancelled , leave the tickert and tell him you expect an email to say its been cancelled
tell him you got most of your bits from there that day , but they were out of stock/ wrong colour of "x" and you walked to "xx" to buy the stuff they had not got ,
