Invoice/PCN for leaving Car Park
DIR By: Jag84

---------------------------------------------------------
I was wondering if anyone could advise me on a PCN/Invoice
received for driver leaving the car park area in a Romford car
park managed by UKPC
Images for the car park, signs and invoice/PCN I have uploaded
on
HTML https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/14fhyqoln0mqrbbn7e3d7/ANXo9btiB5puzvct0srEo_Q?rlkey=aksl1kk3g098vyy4ne9l2u5d2&st=o0z4ks5h&dl=0
The photos they have provided do not show any evidence of the
driver leaving the car park. I have also uploaded a copy of
receipt showing that I did purchase from the Aldi store in the
car park and I also visited the carpet store in the same retail
space
Any advice on how to handle would be much appreciated
thank you
ps On a sidenote when I got to my car there was a UKPC warden
taking photos of another car near mine and I asked him is there
any problem parking here ? He said no your car is fine but I
didn't trust him so held on to the receipt and a week later I
received a PCN/Invoice

Any advice on what I should put in my appeal ?
I was planning to ask for evidence showing the driver had left
the car park as the photos they have provided shows no such
evidence...... Or is that the wrong approach ?

What photos have they got on their website if you do go to
appeal?
Did the driver, or anyone else, actually leave the retail
park....?

They have three photos of the car parked in the car park and one
photo of the sign. No evidence from those photos of driver
leaving the car park

Looks like 3 points for appeal:
1 - Driver was a genuine customer
2 - No evidence presented of leaving site
3 - NTK is not compliant with POFA to transfer liability to
keeper - there is no period of parking specified
Make sure you appeal as keeper only, and do not identify the
driver, even inadvertently via a drop down box or by saying 'I
did'.

Before you appeal, have you tried escalating this with the Aldi
management (with proof of purchase)? Anecdotally, supermarkets
are better than most at intervening to cancel parking charges
for genuine customers.

I did chat to Aldi but they said they do not own or manage the
car park and can't do anything

Unfortunately this is common.
These stores lease premises on land they don't own so can't
intervene when this sort of thing happens.
