#3 Paid for car park but made a mistake with one letter in Registration number plate
on 25 Sep, 2024 11:41 in Private parking tickets
Registered keeper received PCN from Apcoa - attached below, details removed.On the day, driver parked car. All the machines were closed with foil - only online payments. Driver was unable to pay using his app (issues with password, card security code, adding new card). Driver called his acquaintance who paid for the car park using his Apcoa app. Acquaintance made a mistake while adding the VRM in the app - one character is not matching the cars VRM. To illustrate, actual VRM is AB12 CDE but the Acquaintance added and paid for AB12 CDX.Acquaintance has provided Vat Receipt which confirms all the details here. Registered keeper would like to know if he has got any grounds to challenge this PCN. Based on the personal experience, RK assumes that Apcoa will not be willing to recognize that as valid payment, so the question now is will this get resolved if it gets any further (court, debt collectors, etc)Car Park is nearby the station but does not seem to be 'attached' to the station - not sure how to check that nor how important that is:https://maps.app.goo.gl/UL2kBYnGYezLU1Sw6PCN scan front:https://ibb.co/7RDZmDnTime on the PCN is not the entry, it's the car park leaving time.
