parc tawe, premier park ltd fine

pipwillow

hi there
my dad has just got a letter from Premier Park LTD Exeter, demanding £60 because he was parked in a disabled bay and didnt display his blue badge correctly. He is 80 years old and has bowel cancer, so you can imagine he is very upset by all of this. Should we ignore this notice, it is a PCN and says he has 28 days to pay!
thanks guys, know you will give fab advice.:money:

Read the newbies thread at top of page, he has not got a fine.

just got a really nasty letter refusing our appeal....any advice on where to go/what to do next would be great...thanks.

We have considered your comments, and after examining all the evidence relating to the issuing of this PCN, we are satisfied that on this occasion the charge was issued correctly and must advise that your appeal has been denied, as your vehicle was parked in a disabled bay without displaying a valid blue badge.

However, as a show of goodwill we are on this occasion prepared to accept the reduced payment of £30.00 if this is received by 5th January 2017.

Please note this offer is without prejudice save as to costs. You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure.

They say I have 3 options
1. PAY
2. Appeal to POPLA
3. Do nothing and they will chase us for the money.

not sure what to do!!!

Appeal to PoPLA.

Read/use the template appeal points from the NEWBIES thread plus points from successful recent appeals in the POPLA Decisions thread.

Post up your draft here before submitting it.

What happened when you complained to the landowner?

I sent a letter to the manager of pets at home (the car was parked outside) and she was really helpful, she told me not to worry and she would get it cancelled. Then I got this letter, I told her about it and again she said to ignore the letter and that she would pay the fine if she had to!!!!! Just not sure where to go next....

Appeal to POPLA, as covered in post #3 of the NEWBIES thread. Template appeal points are there.

my dad has just got a letter from Premier Park LTD Exeter, demanding £60 because he was parked in a disabled bay and didnt display his blue badge correctly. He is 80 years old and has bowel cancer, so you can imagine he is very upset by all of this.

Find out who the overall site landowner is (Google 'Park Tawe') and send a formal email or written complaint about disability discrimination by their agent, causing severe upset and detriment. Get angry in the right earholes!

pipwillow

thanks
just sent off a letter to Hammerson, the company that own the retail park detailing what has happened, so lets hope we get somewhere with this!!

omg, this is so frustrating...i cant get hold of anyone, all the offices are either closed or the people are off til the new year lol....i guess i will have to forget about it til then...

No problem, your POPLA code is valid for 28 - 31 days anyway. Try the complaint in ten days' time.

Brilliant news, just had a lovely email from the company that manages the retail park saying the ticket is cancelled and that they have spoken to their parking contractor and have advised them that this type of ticketing must stop with immediate effect.....superb ending to a very worrying time for my Dad, thanks again for all your advice. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

make sure you appeal anyway as keeper on his behalf (or your dad does) and add a copy of the email or letter to the appeal stating that the managing agent has cancelled this pcn

ie:- get a cancellation in writing from the PPC and dont just rely on the email you received until the PPC cancel it themselves

if you do get a cancellation in writing by the PPC , its slam dunk

about time these landowners or agents put their foot down with these greedy PPC,s

best wishes and a happy new year

ps:- when its all done and dusted , contact the parking prankster so he can blog about this disgraceful incident
