    Doesn't the wording on this sign speak volumes about the type of company they are. Everything screams litigation! not fair enforcement. ( if there is such a thing ).

    Yet another added sign that STILL omits the material information that they prefer to hide, i.e. nice and brief and prominent: 'you can get £100 penalty for parking here'.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    "If you park here and stay more than two hours, you will pay £85.” Beavis.

    I've amended para 6 in my defence above in my own clumsy way, to take into account the new sign.

    One of the things that I keep thinking when I look at their signs or web site is the choice of domain name.


    It's not HX-CPM as their company name suggests it should be (it is available to buy)


    They decided to show what they intended to do when they purchased HX-PCN, issues pcn's.


    Probably not a defence point but to me it shows from the outset what their business model was, issue as many pcn's a possible without actually managing any parking

    Thought I would also add that going off a facebook group set up about this particular car park there are around 21 people with current PCN's from HX, all at varying stages on that group alone



    The majority are invalid VRN entered into the machine, either not enough characters or too many

    You are actually correct about the M/C on the ticket being machine I.D. I parked in the Euro car park opposite. The issued tickets are the same but under M/C there is the machine identifying number..

    So they are using an old stock of tickets that are not fit for purpose.


    Do you have to enter full VRN on Euro car park?
