Barnet Hospital Parking Eye Penalty Charge Notice

PandaPo

Hi

Please can forum members help me with the above? I've read a lot of posts and threads from various websites, and the more I read, the more confusing it's becoming!

A letter has been issues for parking charge amount due of £100

Quick summary:
-Took my husband who suffered a head injury to Barnet Hospital A&E
-found initial parking space following A&E sign posts, parked up but realised it was Staff Parking
-Got back into car and drove back round closer to hospital entrance, navigated the very confusing car park which had concrete barriers blocking the way which had to be negotiated (taking more time to find a space)
-Finally parked and bought a 1hour ticket
-A&E department was far from where the car was parked
-Genuine over stay of 17 minutes which doesn't include time to find space, get ticket and navigate to A&E dept

I have called Barnet Hospital PALS team who has sent me an appeal document to submit.

Please can members help with an appeal template letter I can use for Private Eye.

Much appreciated and thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
Po

You mean parking eye


Go to the newbies faq thread near the top of the forum for a template letter to send that will get you a popla code. (in blue type)

I don't know who should be afraid, Ian Hislop or Rachel Ledson

use EDIT and ADVANCED EDIT on post #1 to alter the title and the names in the post too

Hi Quentin, Thanks for directing me to the Newbies thread, I've now found the template.
do I need to reference anything in my summary i.e. parking layout and the lack of time considered for finding a space, parking and getting ticket etc?

much appreciated

not at this stage , as you are appealing as KEEPER , not driver

those will apply in the POPLA appeal , 2 grace periods under the BPA CoP , clause #13

stick to the script for PE , but complain as an OCCUPANT OF THE VEHICLE when complaining to PALS

Be careful NOT to write anything saying who was driving!

Does your PCN have the '29 days POFA 2012 keeper liability' wording? Was it received in 14 days?

PandaPo

Hi, yes it does include wording "You are notified under paragraph 9(2)(b) of schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 that the driver of the vehicle is required to pay this parking charge in full..."

I shall stick to the template and not add anything extra.

What about when i submit my complaint to PALS?

Much appreciated

just say THE DRIVER had problems and relate them as if you were told them by somebody else , like me , or as an occupant of the vehicle (assume I was driving)

too many people slip up and give the game away if they were the driver and also the KEEPER of the vehicle

"me , myself and I" are banned

PandaPo

Thanks all for your help. I shall submit the template to PE with no additions and then as 'occupant of a vehicle' for my PALS complaint.

Should I be concerned about when I'll get a response from PE and PALS and when it exceeds the 14 days (£60), 29 days (£100) periods?

Much appreciated.
