MET McDonalds - OVERSTAY - SLOUGH
DIR By: pleasehelp
Date: March 10, 2025, 5:56 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
Received NtK from MET parking services.
Date of contravention: 2nd March
Date of issue 5th March
Received Ntk 9th March
Maximum permitted stay:90 mins
length of stay: 115 mins
Background:
Sat in for food with children, with 2 separate orders, one at
17:56 another at 18:40. It was Sunday, restaurant was busy and
almost at full capacities so the service was slow, especially
2nd order which took at least 20 minutes to be ready to collect
for consumption. If service wasn't slow, we could have left
within 90 mins stay.
Have not appeal yet, as hoping for advice on how to fight this.
Many thanks in advance.

First port of call is to go back to McDonalds and speak to the
MANAGER and ask to cancel the PPN.
Otherwise post up a copy of the PPN with personal details
redacted but leave dates.
Also a photo of the signage.

Thanks for your advice, but I read a few of the posts in similar
situation, which I learn that:
1. can't rely on McDonald's staff to help - if I go back,
wouldn't that reveal who drives the car, etc?
2. there is a 'standard template' to appeal with, which can
quote it for appeal, so wondering if I could use that in my
situation.

The only way the driver would be revealed would be if you do so
yourself, just revisiting won’t.
However it depends on whether McDonalds is responsible for the
parking themselves or if it’s a generic parking area managed by
someone else. If they’re responsible, they can cancel.

Will go to McDonalds, may I ask what evidence I need to get from
them to proof that they have/can cancelled the ticket? They may
just fob me off. There's no proof and I could have end up late
paying the whole £100 instead the early payment of £50. Thank
you

I would suggest that you tell them to cancel the invoice because
you were a good customer, don’t ask them for something they will
just fob you off with excuses as you say. They may say they’re
not responsible for the parking, but put them to proof of that
if you can.

Generally, when contacting the landowner, I recommend being
polite but persistent.
An overworked and underpaid manager is in my view more likely to
help a nice customer issued an unfair charge, than one who
storms in shouting the odds and making demands (they'll not be
sorry to see such a person take their custom elsewhere, after
all).

Just went to McDonald's, they said they can't do anything to
help as it's 3rd party company, even staff can get fined if they
parked at wrong spots, they can't cancel the ticket for me....
What's my next step please

Did you get photos of the signage and the position of the
signage?
