PCN from ECP at Morrisons car park

eztrellaz

Dear Mr eztrellaz,

Thank you for your correspondence. The details of the Parking Charge Notice (PCN) are as follows:

Parking Charge Notice Number: xxxxx
Date of Issue: 25/01/2024

Vehicle Registration Mark: AA11 AAA
Time of Issue: 16:59:27
Car Park: Morrisons - Barnsley

Breach of Terms and Conditions:

Your vehicle was parked longer than the maximum period allowed

The car park in question is on private land and upon entering such land vehicles are subject to the terms 

and conditions of parking as shown on the signage. This signage quite clearly states that if your vehicle 

is in breach of the terms and conditions of the car park then a PCN will be issued.

On entry to private land it is the responsibility of the driver to check for signage and ensure that your 

vehicle has been correctly parked. Any vehicles found not adhering to the signage will be issued with a 

PCN.

Please be advised that there are a number of signs around the car park indicating the restrictions of the 

site and it is the responsibility of the driver to read them when parking.

The car park is operated by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) – cameras capture an image of vehicles entering and leaving the car park and calculate their length of stay. 

Parking at the above site is limited to 120 minutes. Your vehicle was parked longer than 120 minutes, 

therefore the notice was issued correctly.

Please be advised that this is ‘Customers Only car park’ therefore the vehicle should be only left on the car park while using on site facilities.

As you have provided proof of being a genuine customer onsite, I 

am pleased to inform that your appeals has been successful on this occasion only and the notice has 

been cancelled as a gesture of goodwill.

However any further Parking Charge Notice issued for the same reasons will not be cancelled. It is the 

driver’s responsibility to check the signage and adhere to the terms and conditions of the signage onsite.

Yours sincerely
Xxx

Success! Thanks all for all the advice and support.
What are the chances ECP did this on their own? I haven't heard anything back from Morrisons yet, but should I assume they done some work in the background?
All I sent in my appeal to ECP was the basic template, with no additions paragraphs, and a screenshot of my bank statement with the purchases at the Morrisons shop and petrol station.

Don't know whether Morrisons had a hand in this. Well done either way!

Well done great result. Could I ask you to support this.

So many people don't receive 1st and/or 2nd pcn but the £170 payment due letter often manages to drop through letter boxes. PPCs always claim discounted/full rate pcns/court claim letters were sent as dated though they offer no evidence to prove this.

Since they CHOOSE NOT to provide evidence of their posting we must continue to press gov to ensure they do and see it included in the new Parking CoP. Please sign/share @jmccabe petition closes 22nd june 2024.

Nice one, and well done. Despite giving you a bit of a runaround initially, Morrisons are true to form in cancelling parking charges (whichever way they did it) for their customers.
