PCN National Parking Enforcement 3 minutes 1 second in a parent and child bay with child in back..

17 Posts

Good afternoon,
Just sharing what I am sure is yet another in a litany of similar, although at initial glances I could not see a thread pertaining to a fine issued for a purported stay if such short duration. Essentially, at a Coop store the driver pulled into the parent and child bay, correctly as they initially intended to disembark the vehicle but either due to considering the proposed terms of the contract and refusing or failure to wake the sleeping child then left the bay after an elapse of 3 minutes 1 second. Hoping that the likes of @Grizebeck and @Coupon-mad and others can provide assurances that this is an appropriate period of consideration and these three minutes will not transpire to be very expensive!
Many thanks,

You explain how you are a regular customer and that, no matter how inconvenient, you will not be shopping there in the future if you are going to be under threat from a scamming parking company for an extra £100 just for the convenience of visiting their car park. You will also advise all your family and friend not to show there either and tat you will save all your receipts from your shops at their competitors for the next few months and show them how much business they will lose if they do not get this cancelled. They can times that sum by many more family and friend who will do likewise.
You should also find out the contact details for whoever is the head honcho at Co Op and advise likewise, especially if his minions at the local store try to fob you off.
That's step 1. Complain to you MP about this too.
Then read, re-read and read again the Newbies thread near the top of this forum. At no point try to appeal to the PPC until you've read that thread and do not identify the driver. No "I parked..." For now you are appealing anything as the registered keeper. It should always be "The driver parked..."
You will receive more advice shortly from some of the experts on here.

You know full well it's just another scam invoice.🙂
