Bank Park Rejected my Appeal

Hi Team,
I was recently issued a parking ticket after entering your
underground car park, driving around to look for a space, and
then leaving because there were no bays available. It took
around 17 minutes to realise there was no realistic chance of
finding a space due to the long queue of vehicles, yet I was
still issued with a parking charge. It is an underground car
park with a single combined entry and exit route laid out as a
large one-way loop, so once you drive in you must follow the
full circuit before you can leave, meaning I had no option but
to remain on site while slowly queuing behind other vehicles
that were also unable to find a space. During this time,
vehicles were blocking the route and waiting for other cars to
leave, so I was forced to wait in the queue with no ability to
exit or park, which further extended the time my vehicle was
recorded within the car park without actually being parked.
I also provided evidence that I exited the car park and later
returned, parked for two hours, and purchased a valid ticket for
that stay in the same location, but this was not taken into
account. I requested proof that my vehicle was actually parked
during the initial period; however, my appeal was rejected
without any explanation or supporting information.
I now understand I have two options for further appeal: IAS or
POPLA. Based on this situation, could you please advise which
route would be more appropriate for me to pursue?
What is your suggestion looking @ this PCN?

You might have provided “evidence”, but not to us.

IAS or POPLA is not a choice.

Driving around looking for a space is not “parking”, for example

Hi Team,
I need further help with a parking charge issued by Bank Park.
My initial appeal was declined, and because I was undergoing
cancer treatment at the time, I missed the 28-day window to
escalate to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS).
I have tried to contact Bank Park by email and phone several
times but have had no response. I did not park the vehicle at
the location in question, so I do not believe the charge is
valid, but my health meant I could not follow up sooner.
Could you please advise what options I have now? For example, is
it possible to request a late appeal to the IAS on medical
grounds, or should I consider legal advice at this stage? I am
seriosuly thinking about going into court.
