Hi,

I've received a PCN as keeper of a vehicle from Total Parking Solutions for Driver was observed leaving site ! The ticket says observed time was 15:38 however a purchase was made from the retail store with the receipt timestamped 17:17 which is within the 2 hour limit.

I've read the Newbies thread in detail so will be appealing on day 26 using the template provided however in the appeal I was going to add in the following points after reading some other threads:

1. In order to resolve the dispute I attach copies of the driver's receipts that day as they were a genuine customer
2. Please provide evidence that the driver of the car left the site

How does this sound ? Is it worth putting in the 2nd point to flag to them that it may have been the passenger seen leaving the site ?

Thanks in advance for any advice

    They won't need flagging who was the driver!


    Throughout here you are advised never to reveal who was driving


    You need to edit your post to remove details of who was driving


    The ppcs monitor here and can use your posts against you


    The appeals template is tried and tested - change it at your own risk

    in the appeal I was going to add in the following points after reading some other threads:

    1. In order to resolve the dispute I attach copies of [STRIKE]driver's[/STRIKE] receipts from the store that day, as the occupants of the car were genuine customers.
    2. Please provide evidence that the driver and/or passengers of the car left the site, and how your operative identified those parties.

    Maybe say the above, but TBH you can save the point about evidence, for POPLA.

    Read this from 6 years ago, the last time a PPC took a 'leaving the site' case to court. No solicitor has seemed too keen on doing so since, either!

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
