Private parking tickets / Re: PCN with Excel Parking at Copeland Street, Derby

Hello all,
I have just been to Derby and back with photos (see album):

What do you think?

@b789 would it be possible to walk me through the standard sort of process that I would need to go through after I get a rejection from the IAS? Happy to receive a PM/email if needed. In particular, I would like to avoid having any impact on my credit score as while I have the time to make it not worth their while to shake me down for money, I would also like to avoid taking unnecessary financial costs if necessary (especially as I plan to take out a mortgage at some time in the next few years).

Private parking tickets / PCN with Excel Parking at Copeland Street, Derby
« on: October 23, 2024, 07:09:05 pm »
Hi all,
Recently I was travelling to Derby and decided to park at Copeland Street car park. The parking lot was filled when I was arrived and it took me 15 minutes to find a space and a further 5 minutes to use they payment machine. I am now informed that I am being fined 100 pounds for not paying for parking on time, and on appeal it was rejected for not reading the terms and conditions stating that I had 5 minutes to pay on entry.

I think this is frankly unreasonable and as I will be passing by Derby tomorrow I will try and get some photos of the signage available, but I was wondering if you could provide some advice about where I stand legally (ie if I should just pay the PCN and be content with filing complaints about their predatory practices or take the risk of appealing it further to the IAS).

Incidentally I also note a lot of one star reviews on Google and Parkopedia about their predatory business practices - wish I had been aware of them before visiting!

(unfortunately the upload folder was full so I was unable to upload a copy of the PCN/appeal response)

Edit:
I have uploaded the PCN and appeal here below

I will try my best to upload photos of the parking signage tomorrow.
