UKPC charge from local shopping centre - stopping on double yell
ows - Need help quick, I only have 2 days to pay the £60

Need help quick, I only have 2 days to pay the £60 as they sent
the letter on 16/01/26 but only received today!!
I received a charge from UKPC today in the post. I also received
one a couple weeks ago for the same issue which I ended up
paying after they rejected my appeal. I have had people around
me telling me to ignore the other charges I'm expecting but I've
read that I'm more likely to be taken up with the debt
collectors and all that if you're a repeat offender. I am
unfortunatly expecting another for the same issue.
Issue - everyone for aslong as I've known as dropped and picked
people up on the double yellow lines infront of the Tesco in
this shopping centre. The car park is owned by the shopping
centre not Tesco. The ANPR cameras and 4 hour parking limit has
only been in place for about a month now from what I can find
but there was absolutely no warning about this getting put in
place. I tried to appeal the first fine but nothing happened but
the car was there for about 3 minutes. I ended up paying as I
had mentioned the driver. This one was from the 7th on January
and the car was there for 1 minute 40 seconds at 22.06. I wanted
to know if anyone knew if I could try to appeal this again and
win this time or if it is just worth paying the charge to save
myself from any extra charges. I've attached a photo of todays
charge but not the last one as I binned it. When I appealed last
time and got I rejected I mentioned being allowed to stop to
drop off or pick up a passenger as thats what I was doing. I do
not have a photo of any of the signs up besides the double
yellows from google maps. If any more information is needed
please tell me. Thank you!!

This is their response to the last rejection -
Thank you for your recent communication concerning parking
charge reference
We have carefully considered your appeal based on the
information provided and the evidence supporting the parking
charge. In this instance having
completed our assessment, we consider the parking charge to have
been correctly issued, as the vehicle was parked on yellow
lines.
Although we sympathise with the mitigating circumstances
mentioned in your appeal, we are unable to take these into
consideration when reviewing the
circumstances pertaining to your parking charge.
UKPC adhere to the British Parking Association (BPA) code of
practice in relation to signage, as such we ensure that across
car parks that we manage, it is
clear, apparent and numerous enough that the terms and
conditions of parking would reasonably be brought to the
attention of any motorist entering and
parking on site.

I don't know if this is useful but it's The Parkway Centre in
Middlesbrough. I've seen posts on facebook about a lot of people
having the same problem but nothing else.

Just remember that “we have carefully considered” usually means
“we haven’t read a word of what you submitted and we know that
if we agree to your appeal we won’t get any money, so we won’t.”

Photos of all the signage would be helpful.
In the long run, the advice from b789 is UKPC will issue a claim
but discontinue with it when it comes to paying the court fee.

Yes, you either pay £60 now, or you pay £0 if you stay the
course and follow advice here. Your choice.
The £60 “offer” is a con. It’s only “offered” to make you pay
something quickly.

Members are again reminded not to suggest guaranteed outcomes.
Based on our experience, the vast majority of UKPC claims are
issued by DCB Legal, and the vast majority of those get
discontinued before a hearing. But we of course cannot offer
guarantees.

Is there any advice you'd have for the appeal as the last one
was rejected so I feel like I cant use the same reasoning of
picking someone up who was working there?
If you need photos of the actual car parks signs I can get some
tommorow
