Parking Charge Notice From LPS

Hi all,

I have received a parking charge notice from LPS (Local Parking Security Ltd) for the sum of £60.00. What are the chances of me avoiding this fine if I appeal?
My main concern is that they have sent date and time stamped photos of my vehicle entering and leaving the car park. I have up until the 16th of this month
to pay it or appeal.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

    Post a redacted copy picture of both sides of the postal NTK PCN ( not enough information in your post above try to answer your question )

    Are you sure that it's £60 ? It's usually £100 reduced to £60 for early payment , so a one off 40% discount which you lose if you appeal later

    Please read all of the newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum in announcements too , for all the advice you need

    Ps , parking companies rarely uphold appeals

    It's not a fine , it's an invoice for alleged breach of contract

    Hi, yes I've had a read of those. Not complained to my local MP though, is that really going to achieve anything? Where I parked is more than 200 miles away from where I live...

    What's it for?  The heinous crime of taking nine minutes to enter and leave, over and above two hours free or fully paid parking?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Why was no payment made?  Were the machines broken or the signs so appalling that the driver couldn't see any t&cs and no entrance sign either?  If they were taking a chance, then you won't win at appeal unless on a technicality at POPLA stage, such as if you allege 'no landowner authority' and they fail to prove it (see 3rd post of the NEWBIES thread for POPLA points).
