Excel Parking Services

I’ve received two PCN’s from the above company. I visited a travel show which was being hosted by Holiday Inn, Southend Airport. Free parking was advertised. When I arrived there was nothing to say how to park for free, so I pulled over for 5 mins to try and check things out. Another couple went in to ask. I then parked and went into the show. I appealed the fines but, of course, my appeals were dismissed. Holiday Inn say the land is not owned by them, but by Southend AirPort. They write that I ignored the non stopping sings which were “highly visible”…i didn’t see them and I can’t decide whether to pay the discounted rate of £60 per PCN but why two of them?

You pulled over on double red lines? Or not?

I didn’t notice them, if they were there then they certainly weren’t obvious. I admit I stopped but I don’t understand why I’ve got two tickets for stopping for 5 mins. I didn’t cause an obstruction. But according to Excel there are “highly visible “ signs up saying it’s a no stopping zone. I will just pay it and move on but it’s made me not want to drive anywhere now, unless I know what the parking situation is, before I go.

"will just pay it and move on"

I'm sorry, whaaaaat? You don't PAY!

My goodness we had hoped you had read NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST, before you posted. Surely you and drivers in your family know not to pay private parking tickets all the time the industry is unregulated?

Stop!

LITERALLY NOBODY PAYS EXCEL BUT SURELY THE SIGNS ARE FROM VCS?
