PCN from Bellevue Car Park in Greenwich - Appeal dismissed for
unpaid parking
DIR By: josephalabi
Date: March 11, 2026, 10:23 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I was parking in a car park and when I went to pay the
contactless and card option was not working. I did not have
minutes to call to pay and did not have coins. I have a blue
bade which I used on the windshield. I received a PCN and I
challenged this explaining and offered to pay the sum that would
have been owed for parking. They declined and I referred the
matter to POPLA who are the ombudsman for parking on private
land appeals apparently, they also ruled in my favour and now I
am being asked to pay £170.
I was in the car park for 27 minutes or so and the charge would
have been something like £3.
I feel this is unfair as I did attempt to pay - video proof
which I do have and both the company and the ombudsman did not
allow me to submit during the process of me challenging this PCN
and also did not take into account I have a blue badge.
I have now received a letter before action and have been given
30 days to pay or respond.
The options are limited regarding the debt which says I either
A - Agree I owe the debt
B - I owe some of the debt, but not all of it
C - I dont know wether I owe the debt
D - I dispute the debt
I am not sure if I should tick B or D. If B, do I just keep the
amount I would have paid if the machine was working if D what
reason do I put.
I have uploaded the Letter before action, ombudsman decision and
proof of the machine not working here:

You are under no obligation or requirement to use their silly
forms.
If you dispute the claimed debt, you simply write to them in
response to say so.
In the short term, it won’t make any difference. But at least
you will have been seen to engage with them.

Please post up the PCN for examination before taking any further
action.
Are we to assume that the driver has been revealed?

Who ruled in whatever way?
Please post whatever you’re referring to, as requested above.
If POPLA, then it’s not binding on you in any way.

I don't have the PCN specifically, what I do have is the letter
before action in the google drive link.
I remember when it happened, they just sent a letter rather than
affix anything specific to the vehicle etc

Once again, was the driver revealed in any of the appeals?
