Curently the keeper of the vehicle is going to be pursued for payment, unless the driver is nominated within 28 days, in which case the driver will be pursued.
They are not fines. They are invoices for payment by the driver under the contract the driver entered into by parking. If the driver is not identified, Parking Eye will use the Protections of Freedom Act 2012 to transfer the liability to the registered keeper. Their PCNs are reasonably compliant although some have argued against this.
The keeper could allow this to be taken to court, and argue the case then. It’s unlikely that Parking Eye or POPLA will uphold an appeal unless you can show that there was inadequate signage at the location.

Hi all,
For this post I will refer to the driver of the vehicle as X.
X parked in Huyton Starbucks owned by EG garages on the 20/5/2026, ordered a drink and stayed in Starbucks for 2 hours to do work. No employee informed X of the parking charges, and that license plates had to be inputted at the front desk, even though the shop and car park was empty, and X spoke to the staff. X returned and the keeper of the vehicle received a £100 parkingeye fine on the 2/6/2026. This fine was on the outskirts of Liverpool/widnes in an empty car park in a new EG service station for overstaying in a Starbucks.
The time limit is 1hr30, x stayed for 2h17.
X also did the same at a later date yet has not yet received a PCN.
What is the probability that X will get this overturned, or at least one of the fines overturned if I get another one, or will X have to pay both fines?
Thank you very much for all of your help.
