    I seem to remember reading somewhere, possibly by @soolin, that board guides can no longer edit posts.

    @KeithP I think you are correct and I believe the latest advice is to report your own post.

    Why doesn’t the OP just read other Southampton Town Quay threads and appeal as keeper, without saying who was driving, given this is byelaws land and she probably has a Golden Ticket?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hi All,
    I've been reading all the advice on PCN received from ParkingEye and am I right in thinking that they have 14 days to Issue said PCN, mine is Date of Event 28/8/2021 Date Issued 14/9/2021 will they use the 'bank holiday' excuse?
    I have also check with BPA who suggest there should be a Grace of Time of a minimum of 10 minutes, I have emailed Town Quay offices to clarify what their Grace Time is. TBH Town Quay are really not very helpful.

    Ok, if anyone is interested Town Quay have replied with the Grace of Time at 15 minutes. so this means that ParkingEye are trying to charge me £60 for 19 minutes of actual parking!

    was in a panic about this PCN 

    Why?  It is very small beer.  Some 8 million are issue each year
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    Hi, I was in a panic as I'm due to go on Holiday, so wouldn't be able to deal with this within the time scale allowed.
    Also it is a scary looking letter.

    It is scary because it is meant to scare the easily scared.  There is usually no hurry with these scams    In your case they are kighly unlikely to win, their sgns are pants.  Read this and complain to your MP.

    The signs are really confusing, but I had tried to pay, but couldn't find a machine that took Cards, only payments by Mobile, I didn't have it with me.
