We encountered PCP Enforcement Agency and their inflexible aggressive no compromise style. On the 23/3/17 my wife (with terminal ovarian cancer) was rushed to QA Portsmouth by my daughter, put in a wheelchair and taken to acute oncology. It was a life or death situation (my wife's consultant confirmed this in a supporting appeal letter). In the panic my daughter inadvertently parked slightly overlapping a second parking bay and received a fine. I appealed this on her behalf and now the fine is £100.00. Despite explaining our situation there was absolutely no compassion or understanding from PCP. This is an incredibly stressful time and I find it incredulous that despite the support of my wife's oncologist and detailed explanation by ourselves there is no compromise on the part of PCP. I really feel there needs to be a degree of common sense instilled into PCPs management style. I contacted the hospital CEO and if my daughter hadn't felt under pressure to pay the fine I think we might have had it waived through QA's links with PCP. A few days later my wife passed away aged 58. The fine is almost immaterial in the overall scheme of things, it is PCP's lack of compassion and understanding that sticks in my throat.

First of all, I am sorry to hear about your sad loss. You and your family have enough to be dealing with without this disgusting behaviour from a parking company.

If you need any further help or advice with this parking matter, please start your own thread. The regulars here are good people and will help you in any way they can.

This is the sort of thing that should be highlighted to your MP, Mrs May, and Andrew Jones MP, who thinks the unregulated private parking industry behaves in a fair manner.
If you feel up to it, local and national press, especially the daily wail, might be interested in your case, as might the Parking-Prankster who can be contacted on his blogspot, and sometimes posts on MSE as well.

Wonder if it's worth contacting Peter Mellor.

Good call.

That charge needs refunding an an apology from the NHS Trust for allowing a regime that fails to meet the published Government policy that's been in place for some 3 years now.

That link no longer works. Was it working earlier today? Have the hospital been up to something since?

Sorry Umkomaas, only just seen your post.

The link still works for me.

PJdylis1 might not share the same confidence!

Marketing BS. :mad:

You have my sincerest sympathy for the way that you have been treated by PCP. My wife and I encountered them at QA hospital Portsmouth two weeks ago today. It is clear to me that they do not have any empathy, it seems they are only concerned with making money. We the public need to fight our corner, perhaps local press and MP.
