    "Private Land: no parking allowed at any time".
    Which is a forbidding sign, the private parking company is offering nothing for the fee they are asking.
    In effect it's trespass which a third party scammer cannot make a charge for.
    You wouldn't go into John Lewis and pay them £100 for nothing and walk out would you?
    Thank you for your response. Can I ask you to expand on that please? 

    Are they not justified to prohibit parking in proximity of their gates? Im just playing devils adicate if this goes to court. 

    Also should I write to the company to take back the PCN based on my reasons, or is it too late?

    Thank you in advance. Kind Regards  
    Yes of course they can inform people they don't want parking in front of their gates, but that isn't what has happened here.
    A private parking company has tried to charge you for parking there which is not exactly what they are contracted to do. 
    In effect if you could leave your car there until midnight pay the fee retrospectively and do it again the next day for another fee.
    I am sure that is not what the landowner requires but the PPC will rub their hands and salivate all the way to the bank every time it happens.

    Thank you, I will keep that in mind if this progresses further into Court. I'll be sure to return to this website.
