ParkingEye PCN - Alleged non-payment - Crowne Plaza Glasgow
DIR By: BigBazz45
Date: March 1, 2024, 12:23 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
The Driver was driving a rented van for an event being held at
the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow. They parked in the hotel's overflow
car park and entered the registration number on the tablet at
Reception. Payment was made on the day of departure.
Despite this, ParkingEye have issued a Parking Charge Notice
claiming a failure to pay for the last day, when the Driver
moved the van to the Hotel's Service Yard to load it up for the
return journey, then parked back in the overflow car park. This
appears to have initially been sent to the hire firm, who have
provided the Hirer's details. The only paperwork in the envelope
was the Notice to Hirer.
Unusually for PE, this isn't a double dip, as the arrival and
departure times reflect that last day, rather than the original
arrival and final departure time.

The Driver lives in London, so it's not practical for them to
return to get their own photographs of the signage.
I'm assuming there are at least two prongs of attack, namely the
parking event occurred in Scotland, so PoFA doesn't apply; and
the fact that it was a rental vehicle.

For clarity, is the notice you've got addressed to you as the
hirer directly, or the rental company?

The Notice is addressed to me as the Hirer and came in a
ParkingEye envelope, so I can only conclude that they've
obtained my details from the rental company.

As long as the driver is not identified this will go nowhere. As
you rightly mentioned, PoFA does not apply in Scotland. The NtK
is not PoFA compliant and even if it was, PE has not complied
with the requirements of PoFA §13.
The standard appeal from the keeper telling PE to go find the
driver will see it off.

Assumed that would probably be the case. Will enlighten them as
to the error of their ways and see what they come back with.

With this being a rental, another thing to be alert to is any
shenanigans from the hire company if ParkingEye go back to
chasing them.

By way of an update, I'm pleased to say that ParkingEye have
given in and cancelled the PCN without me having to go to POPLA.
