EuroParking Services appeal next step. Help needed.

Hi all. i recently received a PCN and i appealed against it but its been rejected. So, now ive been asked to appeal to IAS. Basically the PCN contravention was 'parking for patrons whilst on the premises'. I originally appealed against them stating that the signage was too small and that parking for patrons doesn't specify time. I received this letter today,

Site: MSGL Fashions

Issue date: 11/05/2023

We acknowledge receipt of your appeal (representations) received on 25/05/2023 in relation to the

above Parking Charge Notice (PCN).

We have reviewed your appeal and in doing so, we took into account the representations that you

made in support of your appeal as well as evidence which was submitted. We reached the decision that

in this instance, the Parking Charge was issued correctly for the following reason(s).

The car park is free for patrons whilst on the premises only. This is in place so that there is sufficient

spaces available for customers. Any vehicle found parked onsite who's driver has gone elsewhere is

liable for a parking charge notice (PCN). 

Note, where the requirements of POFA have been complied with and the driver is not known, the

keeper becomes liable for the charge. Additionally, there Is a legal presumption that the driver was the

keeper in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

Please follow the instructions detailed on the Parking Charge Notice to view all evidence.

We are satisfied that the Parking Charge Notice was issued correctly and that sufficient attention was

brought to the driver with regards to the terms and Conditions enforced. In light of the aforementioned,

your appeal (representations) is rejected. We will not accept any further appeals. We have now

extended the discounted payment period by 14 days to allow you time to pay the discounted settlement

amount. Please now make payment of £60 to reach us by 13/06/2023 or £100 to reach us by

27/06/2023. We must advise you that once the discounted settlement rate passes it will not be offered

again. If you believe this decision is incorrect, you are entitled to appeal to the Independent Appeals

Service (IAS). In order to appeal, you will need your parking charge number, your vehicle registration

and the date the charge was originally issued. Appeals must be submitted to the IAS within 21 days of

the date of this letter. However, if you choose this option your Parking Charge will automatically

increase to £100.

 You may send a cheque or postal order made payable to Euro Parking

Services Ltd. Please ensure you write your Parking Charge Notice number clearly on the reverse.

Please do not send cash through the post. Should you consider not making a payment, we must draw your

attention to the landmark decision in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, dated 4th November

2015, Parking Eye Ltd- v -Mr Barry Beavis. This case was seen as an important 'test

case' due to the complex legal arguments used by both sides. The ruling sets a legally binding

precedent on all similar cases for the while of the United Kingdom. If a payment is not received by the

above date we will commence court action to recover what you owe. This will include additional

charges to include (but not limited to) legal and court costs. Should judgement be awarded in our

favour, this may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.



What do you suggest i write in my appeal to IAS??

This seems to a continuation of the story started in your earlier thread.

Please copy you above post as a reply onto that thread so that we can find all information about the one parking event in the one place.

But to briefly address your question... it it rare that we suggest an appeal to the IAS is worthwhile.

And this sentence...

Additionally, there Is a legal presumption that the driver was the keeper in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

...is a downright lie.

Yeah i thought that sentence was a lie. I am not sure how to progress.

You will receive good guidance on your other thread.
Just let this thread slide down the board into oblivion.
