    thank you for the advice. yeah i read that. I was just thinking would it be worth appealing via IAS and mention the parking onsite is only allowed for ptrons (customers) however the timestamp states the contravention happened at 11pm, and therefore the logging vehicle details onto the computer instore is impossible as the store itself is closed. 

    Ignore it until LBC stage. No paying!

    But at 11pm why didn't the driver just park on-street?  Never, ever search for a 'car park' to park a car at night (or on a Sunday).  You can always use a single yellow or a permit bay at 11pm.

    When I visit a city (even a big or busy car-hating one like Brighton) I never use a car park on a Sunday or after 7pm.  Went there this week, found a single yellow line, left the car there free, all evening.  That is where to park in towns & cities.  If it had been after 8pm I'd have used a permit bay after restricted hours. Be wary. Avoid car parks.

    Hi all
    (Image removed by Forum Team)

    Just an update. I have received a letter today threatening me with a court date and asking me to pay up. Is this normal?

    Wait for a proper LBC giving you 30 days to respond. What you have now is nothing more than a debt collection letter. Read the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, fourth post, to appraise yourself with how to deal with one of those. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Hi all
    (Removed by Forum Team)

    Yes.

    All stages are covered in the NEWBIES thread in case you are concerned, and it tells you about real LBCs.  This isn't one.

    One more thing, while your case is quiet:

    We sincerely hope that you are au fait with the need to respond to the private parking draft Impact Assessment by mid-September?

    Or let me do a submission containing YOUR photo evidence please...

    You want to help us change the law?

    To be clear, we are nearly there; it's not a petition or some weak campaign, it's a final push on a law already passed, to cap the £PCN levels and ban the fake DRA fees.

    The Government has a Call for Evidence open right now.

    We are wanting photos of unmanaged car parks, Hospital car park signs near you that show £50 or £60 as the deterrent, and Aldi, Asda, Tesco or Sainsburys £70 signs please.

    All discussed here:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6463361/dluhc-private-parking-code-government-launches-call-for-evidence-discussion-thread/p6

    We need photo evidence of low or no deterrent car parks near you, please!

    NOT £100, NOT £90 or £80.

    Signs for lower sums, or sites with no PPC.
