PCM - Appeal Rejected

Hi all,

Hope you're well. Was looking for some advice. I received a parking ticket at Embassy Gardens which is notoriously poorly sign posted. The car was parked in a space with absolutely no signage. There was nothing to suggest that parking there was not allowed as there were no signs, no painted lines. Parking was paid for the allotted time with many other cars parked here. An appeal was sent a rejected on the basis that there were tiny signs which were neither clear nor close to where the vehicle was parked indicating a restriction.

A little bit of background on the appeal, the ticket was issued late September and the initial appeal was lodged 5 days after the ticket was issued and no response was received. My company then received a letter at the end of November and I once again appealed on the basis that they did not respond to my initial appeal within a reasonable timeframe and therefore should cancel the frivolous ticket. They have responded to that appeal a full 22 days later.

From the advice in the pinned thread is to not bother appealing to the IAS and I'm seeing online in other places too that it is a waste of time as they will just reject anyway. What should I do now?

What should I advise the lease company regarding this Parking Charge?

My sincerest apologies if these questions have already been answered, I've tried to look through the posts for an answer but would really appreciate any direct help.

Many many thanks.

    Tell the lease company not to pay it, but to refer them to you, the lessee, by giving them your details as a lessee

    Ignore them from now on
