  • hopefully 3rd time lucky :)

    I dispute your 'parking charge', as the keeper of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a formal complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner and to my MP.

    There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. Since your PCN is a vague template, I require ALL photos taken and an explanation of the allegation and your evidence, i.e. any picture to show the car is actually parked?!

    This is the allegation of overstaying of 10 minutes, your evidence must include the actual grace period agreed by the landowner. If you fail to evidence the actual grace period that applies at this site or suggest that only one period applies, this will be disregarded as an attempt to mislead. In the absence of evidence, it will be reasonably taken to be a minimum of twenty minutes (ten on arrival and ten after parking time) in accordance with the official BPA article by Kelvin Reynolds about 'observation periods' on arrival being additional and separate to a 'grace period' at the end.


    Additional to the above,!Car park (being provided by a "traffic authority" as defined under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("POFA")) is not!relevant land!for the purpose of establishing keeper liability under POFA. This means that ParkingEye only has the right to claim unpaid parking charges from the driver.
    Also to add, Driver did not park at AFC Telford UTD – Main car park, the driver went through the AFC Telford UTD – Main car park to the Whitehouse Hotel Telford car park which is absolutely free.
    The Whitehouse Hotel Telford car park is adjoined via a metal barrier with the AFC Telford UTD Car Park and the driver was visiting the Whitehouse Hotel Telford and just went through the AFC Telford UTD – Main!

    At no point was the vehicle registration no. XXXX XXX parked at the premises of AFC Telford UTD Car Park. Should Parking Eye wish to stop people using the adjoining route to the Whitehouse Hotel Telford they should block the way or put metal gates and keep them closed instead of penalising innocent citizens and preying on their hard earned money

    Please provide evidence the vehicle in question being parked at the AFC Telford UTD Car Park premises on the day

    This is just a phishing attempt to hang the charge on someone, as they know they can't pursue the keeper if they've issued a non-compliant NtK.

    As this is potentially local authority land, you might find this recent post (#39) from Coupon-mad of interest.

    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.
