    There are cases (local to where I live) of meters that are scrambling the VRN so it does not match with the ANPR and numerous PCN's are being issued. It's not the same PPC but it goes to show that these systems are unreliable. 

    The car park in question does not issue tickets so the driver has no proof that they have paid. Many have just paid the PCN.

    In my above post the contravention mentioned is

    PARKED WITHOUT PAYMENT OF THE PARKING TARIFF FOR THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION MARK OF THE VEHICLE ON THE SITE.

    This contravention is occuring frequently on two car parks by the same operator in the town. They are appealing to IAS purely to obtain the VRN list for that day.

    You may also be able to tell from the VRN list if any other motorists have been affected. If they refuse and the PPC does proceed to court state that they have withheld information vital to your hearing.

    Some of these meters are solar powered and work on a 3g or 4g network so depending on signal or battery strength depends how good or bad they work.

  • I had the same issue on the 2 June, we parked there 3 times but paid once on the left side when enter the car park and that one only registered the last 3 letters of my plate.
    Anyone knows whos the owner of the car park?
  • Please can we get in touch. If you direct message me, I got exactly the same message on the 2nd June at this Car PArk. We should link up and appeal together, it would be squashed

    You should link up and get your findings in the paper.

    Also send a joint complaint with your findings to the DVLA data complaints email (that is already given in the NEWBIES thread 5th post). Demand they investigate and stop releasing data to this rogue firm.

    Not just appeal - which you will all lose and can't be done together. Nothing will change if you only appeal.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
