Just tell them to email you confirmation that they have told their agent to cancel the PCN.

We see so many of these cases where someone has been "told" by a member of staff that they are going to get the PCN cancelled and several weeks or months down the line, reminders and debt recovery letters start arriving. This should become one of the three promises you should never believe.

@b789 thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I didn't get written proof at the time, they said they'd processed the cancellation. I will go to the store tomorrow and ask if they can provide written proof, or if they can resubmit the cancellation and provide written proof.

Thanks,

Jon.

Go Outdoors has been visited on the 5th September (they own the shared car park), management agreed to contact G24 to ask the PCN be cancelled.

Do you have that in writing? What evidence do you have that they agreed to cancel the PCN?

Ha! G24 have 'lifted' ParkingEye's NtK template, literally. As such, it fails PoFA para 9(2)(e)(i) so do not reveal the drivers identity.

Given the landowner has agreed to cancel, your aim now is to force G24 (IPC member) to action that instruction and shut down any third-party processing.

1. Immediate steps

Get written proof of cancellation from the principal.

Ask Go Outdoors (store manager and—ideally—the estates/property team) for an email that explicitly says:

• “We authorise G24 Ltd to cancel PCN [ref] at [site].”
• Name/role of the person authorising and (if they have it) the contractor/portal reference used to send the cancel request to G24.

2. Write to G24 – Complaints + Data Protection.

Send one concise email to: complaints@… and dataprotection@… (or the addresses on their NtK/privacy notice). Attach the landowner’s email. Require:

• Immediate cancellation and written confirmation.
• Instruction to any debt collector to close their file and cease processing.
• UK GDPR actions: erase data under Art.17 (or, at minimum, restrict processing) now that their principal has withdrawn consent/authority; confirm in writing.
• KADOE note: confirm no further DVLA enquiries will be made and provide the date/time of any prior DVLA look-ups and the lawful basis relied upon post-cancellation request.

3. Give 7 days for confirmation.

Points you can rely on (signage + consumer law)

• The terms board is dual-branded Boots/GO Outdoors and buries “G24 Ltd” low down in small text. The trader identity is unclear, which is a material omission. This supports:
• CRA 2015 s.68 (transparency) and general fairness obligations, and
• CPRs 2008 (misleading action/omission as to the identity of the trader/contracting party).

If you ever needed it for IAS or court, you can argue no clear offer from G24 was communicated; the sign reads as the retailers’ own terms with a hidden agent—insufficient to form a contract with G24.

Hi,

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The driver was visiting Boots. The driver had parked in the car park before realising the shop hadn't yet opened. It was only a short time until the shop was due to open, so they waited in the car in the car park. Once the shop opened they went in, purchased the items they wanted and left.

The arrived at the car park at 7:49am, the shop opened at 8.00am, they left the car park at 8:09am.

The PCN dated 22nd August wasn't received until 4th September.

Go Outdoors has been visited on the 5th September (they own the shared car park), management agreed to contact G24 to ask the PCN be cancelled. Proof of purchase was shown on mobile banking app. Nothing has been received from G24 to confirm that the PCN has been cancelled. A reminder letter was received from G24 on 8th September (dated 31st August).

Thanks,

Jon.
