Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi,

Just a quick update.

I've received an email from the hospital saying that they have asked UKPC to cancel the charge and they have received a response from UKPC that the charge has been rescinded.

Thanks to all who helped and advised (mainly contacting PALS as I'd never have done this and this got the charge cancelled).

Apologies about the late reply, I didn't get a notification.

The signs were genuinely missed due to the car parks being busy and looking more for a space than the actual sign saying it was staff parking (incidentally it was the space behind the sign that was noticed at first which made the drive onto that section of car park).

But if it's damning evidence then do you suggest I pay the lesser amount and be done with it?

Hopefully this works

I've just viewed my dash cam footage and I do actually pass some signage but it is impossible to read from a car

Hi,

I'm after some advice if possible.

I've just been to the hospital to visit a family member. My car was parked in a bay, a parking ticket for 2 and a half hours was purchased and then went to visit. After an hour I had to go and I got to my car and there was a PCN from UKPC on my windscreen. The reason was my car was parked in a permit area without displaying a permit. I hadn't noticed the sign that said staff parking with a permit only at the entrance of this car park (located 1 turn lower but same layout as the pay for parking areas).

I went into the hospital with the PCN and the paid for parking ticket and they just fobbed me off saying I had to appeal it with UKPC.
Outside of there I was walking back to my car and I seen the parking attendant. I asked him to cancel the charge and he said no. I'd paid for parking but he wasn't interested and said my car was in a permit only area. He then showed me pictures of my car parked with the ticket on but in every picture he showed me there is no signage to say I'the car is in the staff permit area. Just a bank behind the car and some trees.
I've looked on the appeals site and the pictures are there and again nothing there apart from maybe the angle he's taken one picture to try and highlight the location shows I'm parked in a permit area but no signage in the photo. He's also taken a photo of a sign which to be honest I never noticed and could have been anywhere. The signage he's taken a picture of states No Unauthorised Parking. Am I able to enter into a contract with them if no contract seems to be on offer? Or maybe I'm just overthinking that.

£70 reduced to £40 if paid within 14 days but would happily fight this if I can.

Many thanks,

Valheim
