ParkingEye - Parking Charge Notice for 11' overstay at Lidl (SCOTLAND)

Coupon-mad

If I understood you all well, Lidl doesn't give a crap about the PCN, therefore is useless to complain to them. 

No.  Of course you should do your bit snd.also add to the complaints to Lidl as well.  Nothing will change at Lidl if people don't bother them with complaints.

They will refuse, but they NEED to be bombarded.

Meanwhile I told you PE will cancel but that's not the point.  People should not put up with this crap, for shopping in a store.

Btw, what's the point of complaining to the local MP? he doesn't care, he's most likely going to tell me how sorry he is and that he can't do much about it ...

How do you think the monumental, scene changing, game changing Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 came about and is in its final stages of roll-out?  

In case you didn't know, the forum's very own @Coupon-mad had a massive involvement at national level that will benefit you, me and every other motorist in the UK in future. Her input should never be underestimated, nor forgotten.

Also, edit your first post. You have been told to not name the driver, and to use the phrases: "The driver parked", "The keeper received a PCN in the post" etc. Never use "I" "Me" "He" etc.

This really is important. The parking companies do read these forums, and will be able to use what you write here against anyone "outed" as the driver. So please do edit your first post to take out all "I,Me etc" and to replace with "the driver....., or the keeper........"

Please trust that the regulars on here are experts and are acting in your best interests, but you must follow their advice.

In view of the size of the receipt though, I would say in this case, appeal as KEEPER and attach the receipt (no saying who was driving or ANY story):

(Btw, the total shopping was of £142 and I do have copy of the receipt)

POPLA won't accept appeals from the keeper in Scotland. I've had a long and fractious exchange with them over this. They say its because there's no keeper liability in Scotland. I point out that there is no keeper liability on byelaw land but they hear those appeals from keeper elsewhere in UK. They then obfuscate behind byelaw breaches being a seperate matter, I point out its exactly the sames as companies like NCP and APCOA are offering contractual agreements on byelaw lands and keeper appeals are heard for these so why not Scotland; they tell me to take it up with BPA and end conversation.

This ticket should be ignored, as there's virtually no chance of a single ticket going to court and there is currently still no keeper liability in Scotland. By all means try and get it cancelled by LIDL but, unlike ALDI, they seem to want nothing to do with these. If you write to PE, the'll send you a template rejection and a POPLA code, knowing you can't appeal as keeper in Scotland. They''ve done this to loads of people who got caught in a hot spot at Luss.

Go with C-m's advice. She is far more experienced than most with regard to the unregulated private parking industry. She is even a star of the "small screen!" 

Just note that if it is rejected, you then go into ignore mode because PoPLA isn't available to keeper's in Scotland (a very unfair and one sided system), only the driver, whose identity must never be revealed.

On a side note, never expect fairness with the SNP. Nicola Sturgeon is not popular with a lot of people now, especially since she's done something to pensions for the people of Scotland that sounds like they're being (or will be) stopped.

Pensions are a reserved matter. If anything is being done to them, its down in Westminster. Neither the Scottish Parliament nor the SNP have any part in it.  Advice for this PE ticket is to continue to ignore.
