NTK from springfield retail park, stoke

Dragonflew1010

Hi everyone, a loved one got a NTK letter from I park services Ltd. It was not a windowshield fine but an MNPR (manual number plate recognition). They were idling for under 10 minutes after visiting mcdonalds in this yellow hashed area with a very small, far off no parking sign. It was a visit at night so it was harder to see too. But the letter states it has clear signage.

I cannot find any contact details for the retail park, so i assume i must appeal through plan b (the parking operator). How can i go about appealing this?

Thank you

MNPR (manual number plate recognition).

You realise that's a phrase invented by the parking industry that means precisely nothing at all, except "some bloke with a phone or some bloke looking at CCTV footage took some images to scam you".

There's no "number plate recognition" except eyes. The phrase MNPR makes me laugh!

Appeal as per the NEWBIES thread.

Which PPC?

@Dragonflew1010, are you reasonably near that car park?
The totem sign at the entrance has the managing agents' contact details on it.

As always. Right there at the entrance.

Haha yes i chuckled when i read that too. I wonder what that person was thinking before sending the fine.

The PPC was I park services ltd.

Since the retail park isn't affiliated with any retailer, i should follow plan B (appealing to the PPC?) correct?

Thanks again.

Unfortunately not, but a relative is. If i can get it should i contact them first to try drop the fine?

Yes - it is your only action to bother with, because there's no appeal with IPC firms.

We must keep pressure on new Govt to protect motorists from parking industry's greedy nasty behaviours.

So theres no point appealing hoping they will drop it?

Not really 'worth' trying but IAS costs you nothing and costs them a small fee. Depends whether you like scam baiting really!
