PCN - Westgate Shopping Park

Hi,

I received a PCN from GroupNexus for parking at the Westgate Shopping Park in Basildon. I appealed the PCN (and gave my (driver) details as I had paid for parking - turns out I’d stayed for 2h 31m in what turns out to be a 2h max stay car park.

It’ll be £54 for 31mins and I suspect I’m resigned to paying but just thought I’d check if any of you clever clogs out there had any “get out of jail free” tricks?! 

Thank you in advance!

    Yep.

    Try PLAN A first!  Every time. See the NEWBIES thread.

    If plan A fails, just sit tight; ignore the 'scary'(NOT) three figure debt demands.

    Wait for the claim form then (after using our template defence) a few months later DCB Legal will discontinue.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
