?
On the back, I found it.
It just looks like the driver parked for longer than the
consideration period and didn’t pay. Or parked when the store
was closed.
What do the signs say? No parking after 8pm? Home Bargains,
Leigh appears to close at 8pm on Thursdays and the time recorded
in the car park is around 9pm.

Took me a day or two to go back to the site. Here's the signage
at the carpark. The driver was teaching somebody to drive and
never actually parked up. I'm not sure if there's any leverage
against this ticket but any help is appreciated

To me, the non-parking argument looks like it has mileage based
on the signage used.
You didn't breach the contract because you did not park.
Had the term stated, "No site access outside store hours", then
the argument would be different.

Does this look okay for an appeal to parking eye?
Dear ParkingEye Appeals Team,
I am appealing Parking Charge Notice [reference number].
I deny that any parking contract was breached.
The signage displayed at the site states "NO PARKING OUTSIDE OF
THESE TIMES." The driver did not park the vehicle. The vehicle
remained occupied throughout and was present only briefly while
supervising a learner driver before leaving the site
approximately 15 minutes later.
The wording used on your signage refers specifically to
"parking" rather than simply entering or remaining within the
site. If ParkingEye intends the restriction to prohibit any
vehicle from entering or remaining on the land outside the
stated hours, then the signage fails to communicate this
clearly.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, consumer contract terms and
notices must be transparent and prominent. Where wording is
capable of more than one meaning, the interpretation most
favourable to the consumer should prevail.
As drafted, the sign prohibits parking outside the stated hours.
It does not clearly state that a driver who remains in an
occupied vehicle for a short period without parking accepts
liability for a £100 parking charge.
If ParkingEye disagrees, please provide:
the full wording of the contractual terms relied upon;
evidence that the signage clearly communicates that merely
entering or remaining on site outside operating hours creates
contractual liability for £100;
evidence that the signs were sufficiently prominent and
illuminated at approximately 10 pm for those terms to be read
before any contract could be formed.
In light of the ambiguity in the signage and the fact that no
parking took place, I request that this Parking Charge Notice be
cancelled.
Should you reject this appeal, please treat this as a request
for the POPLA verification code together with copies of all
evidence you intend to rely upon, including the site plan,
photographs of all signs, and your contract with the landowner
authorising enforcement.
Yours faithfully,
[Name]

I would just make sure they know in no uncertain terms that you
are appealing as the registered keeper and no inference can be
sought otherwise.

Here's the response I received from parking eye. It seems like
instead of actually understanding my appeal they have just side
stepped it instead. Any advice is appreciated
Thank you for your appeal in relation to the Parking Charge
incurred on 28 May 2026 at 22:13, at Home Bargains, Leigh car
park.
We have reviewed the details outlined in your appeal, peal, but
we are not in receipt of sufficient evidence to confirm that the
terms and conditions were not breached. The car park signage
states that parking is not permitted during certain restricted
hours, as specified on site.
Our records confirm that the vehicle remained in the car park at
a time when parking was not permitted.
We are writing to advise you that your recent appeal has been
unsuccessful and that you have now reached the end of our
internal appeals procedure.
If you wish to have your case independently assessed, please be
advised, there is an independent appeals service (POPLA) which
is available to motorists who have had an appeal rejected by a
British Parking Association Approved Operator. Contact
information and further information can be found enclosed. See
also www.popla.co.uk
Please note, if the Parking Charge was issued in
Scotland/Northern Ireland, only the driver can appeal to POPLA
(Parking on Private Land Appeals).
As a gesture of goodwill, we have extended the discount period
for a further 14 days from the date of this correspondence. If
you appeal to POPLA, you will not be able to pay the discounted
amount in settlement of the Parking Charge, and the full value
of the charge will be outstanding. In addition, if your appeal
to POPLA is unsuccessful, you will no longer be able to pay the
discounted amount and the full value of the charge will be due.
A payment can be made by telephoning 0330 555 4444, by visiting
www.parkingeye.co.uk/payments or alternatively by posting a
cheque/postal order to Parkingeve Ltd. PO Box 117. Blyth. NE24
9EJ. Please ensure vou write vour reference number on the
reverse of any cheque/postal order so the payment can be
allocated.
If you have received this correspondence via email, please allow
24 hours for our systems to reflect the discounted value before
making a payment via our automated payment line or website.
Yours faithfully,

Onto POPLA with the same appeal points.
We can tart it up with some PoFA issues.
