Wrong car park address on PCN?

Silverbullet12

Hi all,

I was just in the process of filling out an appeal for a parking charge notice I received in the post last week, and noticed that the address of the car park is incorrect.  The street name appears to be entirely fictional, and no postcode provided.  I was thinking that as this does not identify the location of the car park then the PCN is not compliant with POFA 2012?

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Tell them you have never parked at that address and request photographic evidence to support their claim,

The car park is operated by Car Parking Partnership.

They did include some dark photos of my car on the PCN.  And if I pointed out their mistake would they not just re-issue a notice to keeper with the correct address?

They may well do so , yes

Thanks for the replies. So I'm right in saying it's a case of appealing to CCP using the blue template, then after receiving the rejection make an appeal to POPLA using the POFA 2012 non-compliance as one of the points?

What actually happened?  What's the allegation and if it is not paying, what went wrong?  Just checking it's not a simple VRM typo keying error or a double visit misread by ANPR as one parking event, in which case don't use the template.

Well I parked up and went to buy a ticket but when I got to the machine it said the only tariff available was £15 for all day, but as I only needed to park for half an hour I walked back to the car and left.  There were no signs at the entrance to explain any of this - I looked on Google Street View and there was signage there in previous times but for some reason it has been taken down.  The PCN says I was there for eleven minutes but it was certainly less than that. The car park exit is a junction on to a busy road so you can't actually leave the site until there is a gap in the traffic...

What is the "duration of parking" noted on the PCN? You are allowed grace periods to park up, read signage, decide whether you want to engage the contract, and leave if you don't.
