       Barnet Hospital PCN

       Hi all.  The driver was parked in Barnet Hospital car park and
       as the RK I received this PCN.  For background the driver's
       daughter had an appointment.  Parking is extremely hard there
       and the driver had been driving around for quite a while not
       finding a space.  They were going to miss her appointment so had
       no choice but to park where they did, which was not in a marked
       bay.  What are the options here? PCN below. Thanks so much.

       PALS should be the first port of call.

       Thanks.  I will drop them a line.  What if they say 'sorry
       nothing we can do'?

       Depends really, on the face of it the driver didn't comply with
       terms and conditions put in place by the hospital. Lack of
       parking is a major issue at lots of hospitals. So unless you
       have other grounds for appeal like poor or inadequate signage or
       the PCN isnt POFA compliant (to all intents and purposes for
       appeals it is) you have 3 choices.
       1. Start the long road to hoping they give up. You'll need to
       appeal which will be rejected, appeal to POPLA, which will
       probably be rejected. Ignore the debt collectors letters whilst
       keeping an eye out for the letter of claim that will need to
       respond to. Then you'll need to file a defence and probably
       attend a mediation call. Then if you're lucky the will
       discontinued the case, if not if you lose in court you'll be out
       of pocket to the tune of £300.
       2. Name the driver and pass liability to them.
       3. Pay it before the discount period ends.
       The best option though is PALS.
