       Hoping you can help. My uncle received this Parking Charge
       Notice in Enderby Wharf SE10 the reason for issue is No Parking
       At Anytime.
       He has just sent me this and I notice the PCN was posted on 29th
       August 2024 so only have a day or so to respond within the 14
       days.
       My uncle is a chauffeur and was basically picking up a passenger
       when he received this, which is on private land.
       I have also attached a screenshot of his job sheet. Please note
       the time on the job sheet is the completed time when he reached
       Heathrow.
       I would be grateful if you can please advise as soon as possible
       how to proceed with this one, especially with the short time
       frame left to respond.
       Many Thanks

       If the driver had stopped to load or unload, it is not
       considered parking. At least according to some persuasive case
       law. Although this is on private land and the scammers can make
       up the rules, there is no prohibition on stopping on double
       yellow lines to pick-up, drop-off or load and unload.
       However, the keeper is now dealing with a vexatious firm of
       nasty ex-clamper thugs. It is all going to depend on how badly
       the Keeper wants to fight it.
       As the PCN is an invoice for an alleged breach of contract by
       the driver, you have to ask, what contract? A contract to be
       valid, requires three elements. 1. An offer, 2. An acceptance
       and 3, consideration. A prohibition does not offer anything.
       Therefore, there can not have been any contract in the first
       place.
       As the Keeper will be dealing with an IPC member, there is only
       one way this is going to go and the two likely outcomes are
       going to lead to a debt claim in the small claims track of the
       county court. The most probable of those two outcomes is that
       they will eventually discontinue before any hearing takes place.
       The second possibility is that it does go all the way to a
       hearing where there is a greater than 50% chance that NPC will
       get spanked in court.
       I’ll leave it to others to explain the obvious downside of being
       incredibly unlucky and losing the fight. The only other option I
       can think of is for the keeper to pay it but, personally, that
       goes against the grain, especially if the keeper feels aggrieved
       about this PCN and that it has been issued unfairly and
       incorrectly.
       These operators rely on the fact that most of their victims are
       low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree and will fold at the
       first hint of litigation, out of ignorance and fear. We assist
       the victims fight these vermin every day.
