Parking Eye: PCN - 13 Minute Overstay from 2024
DIR By: marcogolfo
Date: September 22, 2025, 9:09 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
The registered keeper received a Parking Eye Charge Notice for
an alleged overstay of 13 minutes on a date that is over a year
ago August 2024. The letter states that they wrote to the driver
at an old address at the time and I didn't receive a reply but
that they have since contacted a credit reference agency to
obtain th address and details of the registered keeper. They are
now offering a reduced amount of £45 if paid in 14 days. On the
date in question it's believed that the driver was a customer
shopping at Lidl and bank transaction details verify this but
show that the money came out of the alleged driver's account on
the day after the alleged parking offence. A couple of questions
come to mind:
As the registered keeper, do I need to contact Parking Eye at
all?
Would they be willing to accept that the alleged driver of the
vehicle was shopping in the store given that the transaction
details say the date after the alleged offence? Due to it being
over a year ago, there is limited information about the bank
transaction details of the alleged driver i.e. it doesn't
explicitly define that the money came out of the bank on the
date of the alleged offence.
Please help.
Thanks

Please post the PCN.
Was your address incorrect on the V5C at the time? Is it still
wrong?

Be patient and do not 'bump' threads. This is a busy forum run
entirely by volunteers helping you for free, and not receiving a
reply within 10 hours is not a sign that you will not receive
one at all.

Well they will likely sue the registered keeper... PE are
usually good at complying with PoFA so they may actually have a
claim against the RK. (The NtK going to an 'old' address may
not provide an easy defence depending on the circumstances)

They might - but I suspect they are not inviting 'appeals'? PE
have been known to accept 'genuine appeals' but only a 10 minute
grace period has to be given.
Others may be able to comment on whether Lidl will interject
(especially at this late stage).

The forum has numerous cases where contacting LIDL customer
services gets these cancelled, just search the forum.

By this do you mean the ref number? The address on the V5C was
wrong at the time - I was in the middle of a house move and this
has since been updated. Thank you for replying

Just a quick update to let you all know that Lidl intervened and
got the ticket cancelled.
Thank you all for your help.
