Title: Re: Alliance Parking PCN – No Parking / 16 Min ANPR Stay – Incorrect Operator Evidence? – Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR

IAS are the remnants of a Kangaroo court very little chance you will have a positive result.

The driver of a vehicle which I am the RK had a similar PCN from NCP for 11 minutes appealed to them as circumstances are identical to yours they decided not to pursue.

If you appeal and lose probable outcome await for your day in court if need be.

See http://parking-prankster.blogspot.com/2014/03/waiting-for-space-is-not-parking.html
Personally, I would appeal on this single point, referring to the words in the judgement, and that you didn’t and couldn’t park, so you won’t be paying them. The useless IAS will get more confused if you make multiple appeal points and ignore any of them it doesn’t like. Even if they reject you have a defence to any subsequent claim.

Title: Alliance Parking PCN – No Parking / 16 Min ANPR Stay – Incorrect Operator Evidence? – Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR

Hi all,

I’m the registered keeper and have received a postal Notice to Keeper from Alliance Parking for Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR.The vehicle did not park. On arrival, the driver was unable to find a parking space due to the car park being gridlocked. The vehicle remained in circulation while attempting to locate a space, then exited when it became clear parking was not possible.

I appealed as registered keeper (without naming the driver) saying: no parking took place, the driver was unable to park, the 16 minutes was spent circulating / attempting to leave safely, two separate timestamped ANPR images does not prove parking. Alliance rejected the appeal with a template-style response saying: signage was clear, payment was required on arrival, by remaining beyond a few minutes the driver accepted the contract, no payment was made.They didn’t really address the point that no parking event occurred.

Also, the payment search evidence they’ve provided on page 3 appears to be for the wrong date range (showing payment checks between 02/04 and 02/04, rather than the alleged event date of 04/04). That makes me question whether they have properly reviewed the evidence for this case at all.

Main questions:

Is this worth taking to IAS?
How strong is the “no parking / no contract formed” argument on these facts?
Does the apparent wrong-date payment evidence help?
Any other points worth raising (signage / grace / consideration period / POFA wording)?

Thank you very much in advance. I've attached front and back of NTK and appeal rejection here:
