Hi, I have PCN from Euro Car Parks as keeper. I was changing the house when I got hold of it the fine was £100 because the 28 days just passed. I appealed showing that I have paid for the parking they rejected the appeal saying the vehicle was parked for 14 hours and 26 minutes. 53 minutes over the duration allowed. Paid for (1800:0800) for aytoun-street-euro-car-park, vehicle entered late and left late as per their notice. I am not sure the time they mentioned is correct or not. Should I go for appeal to popla or pay £100 which is totally unjustified. Thanks

Do neither.  Ignore them.  Certainly no paying!

Thanks Coupon-mad, if they take to court is there any possibility to win, i have seen they come after 4-5 years when keeper/driver forget about anything related to incident.

Yes, if they take you to court, you'll likely win if you follow the advice on the NEWBIES thread, pinned to this forum. 

There's draft defences that you can use which pull apart car parks based on signage, and also the unlawful charges they've added on.

Ignore until you get a Court Claim form or Letter Before Claim. Then go to the Newbies thread and follow the advice. Update us in this thread that you've created.

Euro Car Parks almost never sue. Relax!

When parking firms do sue, we see reports of defendants winning 99% of the time.  Unless you move house (obviously you have to tell them that!) just ignore the 'scary' £170 demands, get on with your life and no paying.

But:

Please do join us for the Public Consultation shortly.  Come back and make sure your voice is heard when the Government opens the consultation (soon).
