I would suggest you contact the card issuer and then, if you still need help, start your own, rather than hijacking another poster's thread.

How did you get on with this any progress? Recently managed to get a ticket as didn't put enough on meter as card reader was broken so looking at contesting due to ridiculous high cost £60!

That is not how to contest a PPC scam PCN. It is not about the extortionate charge.

DAIJONES hasn't visited the forum for over 5 months. Doubt he'll see your query.

Good afternoon all. Any advice would be gratefully received.

We have been issued with 2xPCN notices for parking on 2 occasions in August.

I have complained to Alliance Parking and after a series of emails they have told us that our complaint is not valid and they will ignore all future contact with us. Thus I have today raised an appeal with the IAS (who Alliance Parking are a member of) to try to ensure that that PCNS are cancelled and fairness is adhered to.

Both PCNs have been issued in error, we bought tickets on both occasions for 2, 4 hour periods. On both occasions, we entered the car park & waited in the car for a space to become available. The car park being very busy, we waited and manoeuvred within the car park to catch a free space. The car was not left unattended by my wife or myself to go down to the beach prior to us being parked and unpacked. 

Both PCN notices have been issued on the basis of "present without making payment or overtaking paid for time" - neither of which are true. 

As custom for all drivers when parking within a car park, you cannot physically park and leave you car unless you have a defined space - goes without saying I would assume.

Alliance Parking are trying to fine us £160 per PCN for merely entering the car park and waiting for a space - which is totally unacceptable, immoral and unfair. 

I have also written to Watchdog today so awaiting on any interest from them. 
Thanks for any comments and suggestions.

The best advice for you Jeremy is to start by reading the NEWBIES thread.

If you still have questions then start a new thread, as trying to deal with the issues of more than one person in the one thread only leads to confusion.

Welcome, @Jeremyp ...

You've posted in the wrong place (see my signature under my reply - two clicks are needed to get to the right page) but please do this:

PLEASE CHANNEL YOUR ANGER ABOUT THIS PATHETIC CHARGE TO CHANGE THE WAY THE PARKING INDUSTRY WORK:

CALLING ALL NEWBIES! 

 

An urgent task – deadline approaching in a week or so:

Please now make a real difference because not enough people have yet, and time is running out. 

The Government is consulting for just a few more days, about a new statutory code of practice (CoP) and framework intended to rein in the rogue parking firms. 

Does it go far enough?  Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation (two separate consultation documents).

HOW TO DO THE SUBMISSIONS:

BSI PAS 232 – COMMENTING ON THE CODE OF PRACTICE AS DRAFTED:

1.    You will need to register then log in, to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker.  

 

2.    Register, log into the BSI page, and download & read the cover letter here:

https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2020-00193#/section

 

3.    Read the cover letter again and note the suggested extra questions... if you agree that, say, the 'loading/unloading and dropping off, asking for directions, and disabled people parking on double yellows as they can on street' activities listed should be exempt (not parking events, what do you think?) then please go to the Annexes at the end of the PAS Code and find the one about Exempt Vehicles and state what other activity you think should be added to the exempt list. 

 

4.    Download the PAS itself and start commenting on what you wish to say something about.  Quick links to each section appear on the left of your page. 

 

You don’t have to comment on everything, e.g. you might want to skip the definitions and focus on later sections, and certainly look at the Annex tables at the end that show things like consideration & grace periods and exemptions.

 

5.    Submit comments when you are happy with them. Don’t just ‘SAVE’ and forget!

 

THAT IS HALF THE JOB DONE!

THE MHCLG CONSULTATION IS EASIER AS IT IS JUST A LIST OF QUESTIONS. 

 

6.    You can do it first if preferred or pushed for time:
