Excessive parking fine - no contactless payment option during COVID times, any grounds?

Looks ok to me too

Abuse of process is no defence to the core contract terms , plus the template already covers spurious charges like double recovery. People latch onto it for no good reason. The claimant could amend their claim and remove it , leaving you wallowing in your own mess

Amending paragraphs 2 and 3 is all anyone is asked to do

If you think it is difficult with a template , think how difficult it would be without one !!

Make sure you follow the correct submission process outlined by KeithP and coupon mad

PDF document , add a digital signature to the document , attach it to your email and email it to the ccbcaq email address as an attachment , with suitable details like name and reference. Do not miss that deadline above !!!

Thank you so much to you all for your help and your time. I will send this off today electronically and wait for a DQ from the CCBC and hearing date. I will also start thinking about the WS and Evidence. I don't unfortunately have a way of getting back to the car park to take photos of the pay&display and warning signs, and in any case the machine has been changed since I was there, but do you think that I can use this attached photo sent by the PPC as part of the SAR as evidence of unclear signage? I for one can't read the small print to see warnings about charges but maybe it's just a problem of the poor photo quality or my eyes....

Google street view

Unfortunately even if I use Google street view to see the current set up at the car park now, the owner has upgraded the pay & display machine so it is unlikely to be an accurate portrayal of the carpark signage as it was in the summer when I received the PCN. However, I will still give it a go, just in case they have kept the same signage. Thank you for the suggestion.

You can use gsv and it's settings to go back in time , which is what you are being asked to do , look at previous pictures taken previously , not just the current view

Google street view allows you to view photos from 2009 to 2019 at this location.

ok thanks, that is outside my timeline (July 2020). but what I was able to see from today's view is that there seems to be just one pay and display machine in the carpark (although haven't yet managed to get a close zoom into see the signage, still working on that) and a couple of private land car park signs at the entrance.

Compare the latest picture of yours with the 2019 pictures , especially if you believe they have changed

The July 2020 sign on site is what defines the parking rules at that time , so the PPC need to provide those pictures in their evidence bundle
