Multiple PCNs for missing the extension of a long-term parking permit

blacksem

Hello

I purchased a monthly parking pass for a car park on private land, which was recently refurbished and began being monitored by Parking Awareness.

In a month I forgot to renew the pass and, for a few days, my car remained parked there without my realizing the pass had expired. Once I remembered, I renewed the pass for the next month.

A few days later, I received a stack of PCNs for each day my car was parked without a valid pass. Each PCN includes a clear photo of the car's license plate, showing its entry and exit times.

There were no tickets placed under the windscreen.

Can you advise if these PCNs can be appealed on the grounds that I did not receive any notification about the expired pass? I also cannot find any email receipt from them confirming my payment, only a record of the transaction in bank account. There is no way to check when the parking expires...

Should I just follow standard appeal steps from NEWBIES?

I already appealed to them not admitting who was a driver:

1.

Payment was made in full: I had paid for a monthly parking tariff and believed this covered the relevant period.

2.

Lack of notification regarding payment expiry: I did not receive any receipt or notification of payment expiry, which I had reasonably expected, given that this was a long-term parking arrangement. Other services usually provide reminders for renewal, and I was relying on such a reminder in this case.

3.

Non-functional payment link: When attempting to access the payment portal via the link provided on the parking boards, the website did not work. Please find attached a screenshot of the error I encountered. This further hindered my ability to renew my parking on time.

They replied I did not select the 10p reminder option...

Nope, just ignore them.  There's no appeal.

Thank you for the response. 

 I spoke to the landowner and he told me he signed the contract (lease) with Parking Awareness which had a condition that he could not cancel PCNs.

Can the parking company have a full ownership or the landowner misled me?

What an idiot that landowner is!
