Parking Charge Northern Ireland

Hi all. Im back with another parking charge and this time it is actually bull🤦‍♂️

My first post from last year i mentioned i got a few notices from this company for parking tickets and all advice given was to ignore because theyre private and im in NI so theres no juristiction. Great, so far the letters have stopped. 

Today however i got another one claiming i stayed 48 hours in the car park. Which is completely incorrect. I use the parking app to pay for my ticket and i always leave a good 15 minutes before my time is over. And i certaintly didnt stay for 2 days, ive got work and !!!!!! to do 🤣

This car park is split into two separate car parks and I'm thinking what has happened is that I've come in to the 1st one, realised there's no spaces, and driven out the back to the 2nd one across the road and so they never got a photo of me leaving. However, the parking app code covers both of these car parks; even though there's a main road dividing them, they're the same code and car park so there shouldn't have been an issue even if I did leave one to go to the other because I paid on time and left on time. The departure time is actually the time I ARRIVED to the car park on the 3rd for another session, which I also paid for.

My question is however, since I already have tickets which I'm ignoring (lol), will appealing this trigger them to go after the other tickets again? Because part of me wants to appeal this as it's a !!!!!! charge and I have the receipt for my phone bookings to prove it. But I don't want to reignite them asking for the other tickets since they've finally stopped sending notices. 

Thanks

I wouldnt worry about what they might or might not do, irrelevant speculation 

Either appeal it as keeper or ignore it 

Either way,  no blabbing about who was driving

Park maven, they are ruthless around the titanic area in belfast. Seems like they own a lot of the car parks there

ChirpyChicken

No they don't own them

Contractors, definitely NOT owners,  our advice would be to ignore them in N.I. whereas they are a pain in England and Wales

How would I appeal it as a keeper? Like what would be the correct terminology to use in an appeal so they don't pin it on me as a driver?

You don't. You either ignore it or you put in a complaint to their DPO pointing out this is a data breach and they must locate the 'orphan images' and cancel the PCN & immediately erase your data because this is an ANPR error 'double dip' case. Give them some approx timings that the car went in and out. Simple.

That is what the advice in the newbies sticky thread in announcements is for , please read it 

In a nutshell,  it wouldnt be , I went into in one car park,  I couldn't find a space,  I went to the other car park, parked up ,  and I paid the parking charge 

More like,

I am appealing as keeper,  The driver entered the first car parking area but couldn't find a space so the driver went to the second car park,  parked and the fee was paid in full for the full duration that the vehicle was on private property,  so no actual breach occurred. There is no keeper liability in Northern Ireland so cancel the PCN 

There is no Me, I , Myself etc in a keeper appeal , only I am the keeper,  and this is what the driver did
