ParkingEye Warrington Central

13 Posts
My car was parked at Warrington Central on 20/03/19 (morning until evening) and a ticket was paid for using the APCOA app as per alI the signage. Today I received a PCN from ParkingEye dated 20/03/19 and issued 26/03/19 for Warrington Central station. It looks as though there is a ParkingEye car park within/next to the APCOA station car park. The only signage that reveals this is away from the car park entrance - you have to drive past an APCOA sign to get in to the area that appears to be for ParkingEye.
I've sent them the standard appeal template as per the Newbie thread, is there anything else I should be looking into for my inevitable appeal to POPLA? At the moment I plan to focus on unclear signage as it looks like the whole thing is an APCOA car park, and can prove that I paid to park there for the day.

I'm struck by how similar this case is:

So that's Britannia not P.E., but nonetheless it does look like the PPCs exploit proximity to train station car parks via misleading signage. The advice there so far may help you get started.

On 18th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these private parking companies. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, and persistent offenders denied access. Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers.
Until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.
Spend time now collecting this evidence, in readiness for POPLA.

A POPLA code lasts 32 days max (NOT 28 like they tell you).

Then post a broken link here. Often just changing http to hxxp is enough, but you may need to use your imagination.
