If the manager fails, ask for that CCTV footage and send it as a formal complaint to MET.

Then as a formal complaint to the BPA with your evidence to

Thank you, I will try, but doubt the McD manager will handover CCTV footage, and yes I intend to email BPA to complain, thank you for the email.

However I'm in 2 minds of the (assumed) cancellation of the PCN by the McDs manager.

As I lease my car, I pay a £10 admin fee for the pleasure of them forwarding such PCNS. 

If I appeal myself, when MET discontinues, I will have proof in writing / email and can claim back the £10 admin fee. 

If the manager cancels, and the PCN no longer exists on their website to even go and have a look, I would have no means to get back my £10, and MET 'still wins' as I'm out of pocket.

Wonder if anyone else was in this predicament on a leased car.

Of course if you are not on leased car, either way being discontinued is fine (no pun intended)

You can certainly appeal and admit to driving and say that the McDonalds manager has footage proving the conversation their 'warden' had with you.

You can also say you'll report MET to the BPA and DVLA if they persist.

Thank you as always for all the info, I did plan A, and it worked.

The McDs manager was true to his word, and cancelled it. Tried to login to their MET Parking website with the details, was working fine yesterday. Today, it no longer exist!

Hats off to that manager who took the time, and didn't tell me to go appeal instead, and took the time to check CCTV and made me repeat that I would not pay it, and canceled it.

How to show my lease company through written proof from the parking company had cancelled it? I hatched a cunning plan.

I wrote a complaint  to MET Parking on how I was UNABLE TO PAY THE FINE! and that i was desperate to 'get this off my back,'

They responded within 30 mins (despite auto response stating up to 28 days) with

'Good afternoon,

Thank you for your correspondence. We can confirm that the above parking charge has been cancelled and is now closed.

It follows that the charge is no longer due.

Kind regards
