I Park Services Limited - Parking Charge - Mere Green
DIR By: JP1234
Date: February 28, 2026, 5:37 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Pulled into car park in morning to drop someone off, they got
out and then I drove away.
Received parking charge on 27th February.
Do I ignore it or pay it?

When you post we should be able to see how long a period of
parking they are claiming. You imply virtually none.

Image added above, thanks.
They haven't given a length of time, but they've just put 7:51
am. Given that I left almost immediately after dropping someone
off it wouldn't surprise me if I arrived and left within the
same minute. The point is, I wouldn't have been there for longer
than two minutes maximum.
But just to repeat, their letter doesn't say at all.

Appeal, for example
--- Quote ---
> I am the keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your 'parking
charge'. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I
will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your
client landowner.
>
> As your Notice to Keeper (NtK) does not fully comply with ALL
the requirements of PoFA 2012, you are unable to hold the keeper
of the vehicle liable for the charge. It does not specify “the
period of parking” as required. The notice merely states a
single time — not the duration of parking. This omission renders
the notice non-compliant, and as such, the operator cannot rely
on PoFA to pursue the registered keeper.
>
> Partial or even substantial compliance is not sufficient.
There will be no admission as to who was driving and no
inference or assumptions can be drawn. I Park Services has
relied on contract law allegations of breach against the driver
only.
>
> The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have
been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation
of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable.

They will doubtless reject your appeal, because they always do
and don’t care about anything other than receiving your money,
so come back when that happens.
Just be sure never to identify the driver. You are the
registered keeper.
You could add that you the driver did not park, you they simply
dropped someone off, if you want. I’m not sure it would make any
difference though.

Thanks.
What happens if they reject? Do I keep appealing or what?
Or should I just:
a) Pay
b) Completely ignore

You move onto a secondary appeal with IAS.

As [member=7581]Brenda_R2[/member] says, if you follow our
advice you will likely end up paying £0. Their entire process is
driven around trying to frighten you into giving them money.
The idea that you are liable for a parking fee for dropping
someone off in a car park is ludicrous. They don’t care, they
only want money. Amongst other things, there is a “consideration
period” of at least five minutes during which you can choose not
to take up the offered contract to park. Without a notice
specifying that you remained for at least this time, their claim
is a nonsense.

I Park are building a horrific reputation for this predatory
behaviour.
They will claim that the passenger getting out was acceptance of
terms by the driver.
