    As the gym is in a retail park the likelihood is that they cannot cancel the ticket themselves. I assume there is one main car park which services the gym and other shops and outlets. They could try a request but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    They should be able to help you with who the landowner of the car park is, though.

    Have you any evidence that your car overheated that you could use to help you?

    Neither of those are true. The staff member lied to you. Try again speak to the Manager themselves or escalate it nationally.

    Absolutely agree with C-m.

    I'd wildly guesstimate that 90% of people who come here really hate complaining.

    I quite enjoy complaining to businesses etc. when I'm in the right plus it gives my husband a break. Almost invariably the first attempt is brick-walled, that's part of the whole silly game. You absolutely have to persevere. And why wouldn't you? A landowner cancellation is so much simpler than ploughing through all the other options. Plus you don't deserve a damn PCN!

    Keep trying while observing deadlines for the appeal process.

    I hate complaining too. But have got quite good at it - always politely first!

    In this case, though, assuming it's a retail park with a communal car park I suspect there is little the gym manager can actually do

    I'd be more focussed on who the landowner is - and heading - politely - in their direction.

    But they rejected it , and have given me reference number to appeal to POPLA


    Start looking at POPLA appeals - post 3 on the Newbie thread - and put together one for critique on this thread - do this before the deadline date

    This is in addition to complaining to the landowner

    I appealed but was unsuccessful, I'm going to appeal to Popla and if unsuccessful then I will try my luck at the court , if they take me to court .


    Parking Eye WILL take you to court if you do not win at POPLA
