PCN for Hillingdon Tube Station

mcbearington

Hi all,

Just after some advice - I've just received a PCN for Hillingdon Underground Car park - I've had auto-pay activated for some time, but since changing cars, it doesn't seem to have worked, despite the vehicle being registered on the Dash website.

Fortunately, the PCN is only for one occasion, January 17. I'm not really sure what I can do here. I have registered the car with their ANPR system and yet it clearly hasn't been charging me since then.

Should I appeal? To me, it seems like its an issue with their system, not with me.

Thanks!

Which Parking company?

NCP have issued the PCN, the ANPR seems to be done through a company called Dash.

After signing into the website I realised there is another action to "activate" auto pay, which isn't ticked for the new car... but why else would i register the car if not to auto-pay!

So I'm assuming it's a London Underground car park; which is therefore subject to byelaws. Therefore it's important NOT to name the driver.

Most important thing is not to name the owner!

OK, so I gather I ought to appeal as the keeper of the vehicle, not as the driver?

So just use the blue text from the stickied post? I don't know if that applies in this case where the ANPR is at fault... but i suppose we're thinking this statement works for all cases?

Sorry, I'm a little confused now - the above post states not to name the driver, and you're saying don't name the owner? I'm not sure what I do now!

Read up on byelaws covering parking at stations.

So this is what I've found on TfL - I assume its point 4 which applies. Is there anything I can do to appeal, or am I basically going to have to suck it up and pay? I mean, its true that I haven't paid, but the dispute arises because their system of ANPR doesn't seem to work!

The idea with bye laws trespassers is to draw out the process so that it times out (they have 6 months to issue a prosecution)
