GXS SERVICES LTD Increasing PCN Amount Without Any Warning

IceMan6524

Hi

So I parked my car in one of this company's Cark Parks and got a ticket, but I wanted to extend my parking, but couldn’t because the company that calls itself “THE UK'S PREMIER PARKING OPERATOR“ machines only accept cash.  So I bought another ticket but unfortunately, I put my incorrect registration on the 2nd ticket so I put both tickets clearly on my dashboard   1st ticket from 12:37 to 14:37 then 2nd ticket from 14:19 to 15:19.  So anyway, when I got back to my car the parking attendant was there and didn’t say anything and we went on our way.   But 2 and half weeks later I got an email from my car leasing company saying I had been issued with a ticket and attached to the email was a copy of the ticket saying “Time of contravention 15:30” with pictures of when my car entered the car park and leaving the car park.

So I appealed the ticket Stating that both tickets were on my dashboard, and asking why the parking attendant didn’t say anything when I went back to my car and that if I had been able to extend my original ticket this wouldn’t have been an issue.   But this was declined so I appealed to The Independent Appeals Service but that was also declined and on their response, it said I had 14 days to pay, but when I went to pay the fine within the 14 days it had gone up by £70 to £170, so I sent them an email asking why the increase and asking where this is increase is documented, but I haven’t heard anything, but today I have gone on their site again and its now gone up to £240

Any advice on this would be most welcome

Noting the extensive use of the word 'I' in your post, would it be fair to say that the parking company knows who the driver was?

If so, that's unfortunate. As Shoreham Port is covered by byelaws, there is no way that any driver's liability can be transferred to the keeper.

But luckily you can just ignore GXS.

Why not read the GXS thread by a local lady yesterday? It was all answered there.

@KeithP &  @Coupon-mad
This wasn't at Shoreham Airport this was at the GXS Carpark on the corner of Portland Road and Shelly Road, Worthing.

@Coupon-mad
Have you got the link for that?

Thank you both for your assistance

The very old port case is lower down, below your thread , so way out of date

I will never link a current thread. That doesn't help new posters who just need to get used to reading & searching the forum.

I know it wasn't at Shoreham Airport because I'm local.  GXS don't operate at Shoreham Airport. They infest beachside car parks from Portslade to Shoreham, south of the coast road.

And the odd Worthing scam car park trap. Nobody should ever drive into areas like that.  Park on-street in Worthing.

The advice is not different for you. Ignore GXS.

But you did post on a Shoreham Port thread around the same time that you started this thread. That's what led me astray.

And no-one has mentioned Shoreham Airport.

This gets worse, GXS sent me an email saying they would revert the fine back to £100, but all they have done is revert it from £240 to £170.

@Coupon-mad
I know you said to ignore GXS but the leasing company did tell them I was the driver I have been corresponding with them.

How did the leasing company know who was driving at that time?

I Don't know what to do
