       ASDA Car Park - Southgate Circus - ParkingEye - Parked over
       lines

       Driver parked the car in the ASDA parking lot slightly beyond
       the bay line on one side due to a larger vehicle/obstruction
       next to it. The enforcement picture does not show the full
       picture due to the angle it was taken. The driver unfortunately
       has no phone footage to show this obstruction. I am surprised
       this is an issue they invested time and effort to send a PCN
       about. The parking bays here are so narrow, I am sure this issue
       has happened several times before.
       Anything that can be done here would be greatly appreciated.

       Sorry, is that a real suggestion? Just asking. I would have
       thought the CEO of ASDA wouldn’t bother with such things

       You thought wrong - this is why we advise that people (as well
       as starting their own thread) also research the forum - previous
       cases are like gold dust - we have seen many notices cancelled
       at Asda using this method.
       By the way, I'm sure that the CEO of ASDA has a PA who deals
       with his / her emails!
       ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

       Thanks, I have appealed separately to ParkingEye and they have
       come back with a big no. They did not provide proof of
       obstructive parking nor did they respond to to do difficulty
       regarding larger vehicle parked badly.
       By the way, I have also written to ASDA CEO, and customer
       support, on June 15th, but they haven't responded.
       Should I take it forward to POPLA?
       Appeal outcome -
  HTML https://ibb.co/VWckfhR9
       This was what I said -
       I am appealing this Parking Charge Notice.
       On the date in question I was a genuine customer of ASDA and can
       provide evidence of my purchase by way of a bank card
       transaction made during my visit.
       The allegation is that my vehicle was not parked within the
       marked bay. However, the position of a neighbouring vehicle
       significantly affected the available parking space at the time.
       I parked as reasonably and carefully as possible in the
       circumstances presented to me.
       The photographs supplied with the Parking Charge Notice do not
       show the full context of the parking situation and do not
       include the neighbouring vehicle whose positioning materially
       affected the available space. As a result, the images do not
       provide a complete or fair representation of the circumstances
       at the time.
       I respectfully request that this Parking Charge Notice be
       cancelled.
       Should you reject this appeal, please provide:
       All photographs taken of my vehicle and the surrounding bays.
       Copies of the site photographs showing the signage relied upon.
       Evidence that the signage was present, visible and capable of
       forming a contract on the date in question.
       A copy of the contract or authority permitting ParkingEye to
       issue and enforce parking charges at this site.
       I look forward to your response.
       Yours faithfully,

       Any reason why you revealed who was driving?

       I don’t think I did. Sorry that sounds odd, but although the
       text above says so, that is not the same one I used in the
       appeal. I can’t seem to find the actual text I used. The
       ParkingEye website now has reopened the case as if I am
       appealing for the first time, so I can’t see any of the previous
       document already submitted

       The larger vehicle was within its bay and your car was a lot
       more than slightly over the line. What's your defence angle? You
       need a decent reason to get POPLA to quash the PCN, blaming the
       next vehicle over or claiming you were only slightly over with
       those photos isn't going to cut it. Your best hope is they
       decide not to take it to court but that's not really in your
       control.

       The only thing I have to say is that the enforcement evidence
       only show a certain snapshot of time when the enforcement
       officer visited the scene. It does not show the situation when
       the car was initially parked and what circumstances made it
       difficult to park within the bay. The larger vehicle in question
       is not shown in any picture by ParkingEye making it look like my
       car was at fault. I don’t think this is correct. Vehicles move
       and change positions constantly and the original offending
       vehicle which forced my car to park badly is not there when the
       picture was taken. Whether that defence will hold is a
       completely different question and the one I am keen to know.
