CP plus Parking Charge
Puddle0481
Posts: 3 Newbie
I've received a parking charge letter via post from CP plus for £100 for not paying for parking in St. Peters Retail Park in Mansfield. The letter states I stayed for 1hr and 3mins and exceeded the free 45 mins. I've read the newbie forum and was going to use the template but wanted to ask if it was appropriate as the letter already includes ANPR photos of my car and states the time of entry and exit. I believe the letter is a NTK and includes the BPA POFA correct working wording. I received the letter a week after is stated it was issued and therefore the 14 days has already passed for reduced payment of £60. The reason for my overstay and not buying a ticket is simply that I didn't intend to stay very long but my 18 month old son was asleep I'm the car so I waited before going into the shops. I only ever nip into the shops so didn't even think about getting a ticket. Having been back to the cat park the notices that detail the parking £100 charge are very high up and hard to read. There's no mention of the charge at the ticket machine and there's no mention of a landowners grace period. I can't find the contact details to complain directly to the landowner. Shall I just use the yemplate provided and leave out the part about asking them for evidence of time spent there? What is my best course of action? £100 charge for an overstay of 18 mins is ridiculous!

As it is a retail park, it should be simple to find out which property agent runs it. There will be a sign at the entrance (not CP Plus' sign).PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Yep. You wont get anywhere with any of the "appeals" options offered for those circumstances, so if the landowner approach fails, CP Plus cases tend to got to DCB Legal for a county court claim, which will eventually be discontinued before going anywhere near a court room.1

Thanks for the feedback. I'll go back and check out the sign. I think it might be either British Land PLC or Broadgate estates... it's not clear online once you get past the AI overview answer! So, if I don't get anywhere with the landowner should I just ignore the letter and wait until they try and take me to court?0

Also... are there any templates available for complaining to the land owner? Sorry if I've missed them0
