Parking charge notice

Jordanphelpss

Hi,

I’m a delivery driver for Hermes so work from my own car which obviously isn’t marked like a Royal Mail or DPD vehicle would be. Today I received a parking charge notice whilst delivering to some flats and parked next to a Royal Mail van. He did not get one. I had a note in my window saying ‘delivery driver, be back in 5’ and the Royal Mail van did not get a ticket. There is no where else to park for these flats and I had a big heavy parcel so this was my only option. The charge is £100 which I feel is excessive, I was only there for 8 minutes. Do I have to pay at all? Google seems to be telling me no but I’m not sure!

Thanks

Quentin

Are you the registered keeper of the vehicle, or is it a company/leased one?

Which PPC scammer?

Some are easy to beat at appeal. Others are easy to beat in court - in your case, part of your defence would be to prove the delivery and use Jopson v Homeguard.

No-one would pay this but it's important to know the answers to the above 2 questions.
