Parking at Starbucks, Stansted Airport

in Parking tickets, fines & parking

I recently parked at Starbucks, Stansted Airport. I was there for 15 minutes. Went into Starbucks, bought some coffee - left.

I received a parking fine from MET Parking. I filled in the appeals form - didn't say I was driving,.

They asked for proof of purchase at Starbucks. I sent a screenshot of my bill, detailing time and location. They replied that I had contravened their parking rules as I hadn't registered my number plate on entering Starbucks.

No one in Starbucks mentioned this rule, I saw no signs stating this rule. MET stated that I was allowed 60 minutes free parking as a Starbucks customer.

What should I do?

    Watch the Joe Lycett video about this place. Laugh at them. No paying.

    What a shame you blew the winning appeal point by saying who was driving.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
