Parking tickets from NCP

Joepenmna2002

Morning I’m wonder if anyone can help I have been parking in a station cat park for 2 months now I didn’t realise you had to pay for this specific Car park at the time, i didn’t receive a paper ticket on my car so was unaware. My sister also started parking at the car park and started receiving heafty fines. So I checked it out with my lease company and I have a number of fines backdating to as long as the 14th of December which I had not been made aware of and have not stacked up over 15 fines as I have been parking pretty much 3 times a week since.

Surely tou did not think that there was free parking anywhere  near a railway station? 

How to contest thiese is set out in the newbies, but imo you will struggle if you d not pay and they take you to court.

Your lease company should have named you as lessee ( hirer , day to day keeper ) so that you receive an NTH in your own name

Then you read the newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum in announcements , especially the bottom of the first post , reading the advice for hire and lease vehicles by Edna basher , appealing as Hirer/ keeper/ as lessee using one of the special hirer templates , so not the blue text appeal higher up

No blabbing about who was driving , not to anyone !! Not at all

This will be a hirer keeper appeal , once the PCN s are in your own name ! You don't want the lease company paying them and charging you

It is astonishing to assume that a car park near a station was free and never saw any signs, ANPR cameras on poles or payment machines or RingGo/JustPark signage with location codes to pay for your stay.

ANPR cameras watch you everywhere in private car parks and you must always read the signs.

However:

These are ALL winnable if you simply instruct the lease firm to name you as the hirer/lessee and to give your postal address.  You can't do that yourself!  The lease firm must transfer liability.  They MUST NOT just pass you their letters.

If they do this right (and ask them please to do one letter to cover all the PCNs, to save you multiple admin fees that your lease firm are bound to want to charge - sorry) then you will receive Notice to Hirer letters.

You must then appeal as lessee/hirer to each and every one (don't miss any) using the specific lease/company/hire car appeal wording written by Edna Basher, towards the bottom if the NEWBIES thread first post.

As @Redx rightly says, no saying who was driving!

And don't use a phone to try to do these appeals nor to read this huge forum.  Get on a laptop for this job and the necessary research/reading.

This will save you both hundreds of pounds.  Approach it like a job because it is worth as much to you as earning money and you only have a short window to do this.

Take your time and speak to the lease firm to get liability transferred to you for all the PCNs, so you can appeal.

Your sister can also win hers by appealing as registered keeper, using (if hers is a non lease car) the Blue writing 'one size fits all appeal template' higher up in the NEWBIES thread.

Easy to win as long as the driver is not named (assuming this is NCP or APCOA?) but you and she MUST appeal them all, so write a note in pen on each letter when you've submitted an appeal online, then pick up the next letter, then the next, and appeal and mark them all in pen as you go, so you don't assume you've done one you haven't.

NCP or APCOA, or which PPC?

Please don't ask for a link, you have one at the top of every page and my signature even shows what it looks like.

Ah... a London Underground station.

All LU station car parks are covered by byelaws.

Confirmation that its subject to TFL Byelaws as from November 2014:-
www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tube_station_car_parks_2

This means that the keeper is doubly protected -
1) as mentioned in earlier posts re: leased car, and
2) POFA doesn't allow any driver's liability to be passed to the keeper on land which is under statutory control.
