Private parking tickets / DCBL Pursuing PCN – Parking Overstay – Services A82, Dumbarton
« on: October 26, 2024, 01:16:53 pm »
Driver got new job and arrived at service station car park at 07:31 and was unaware that car park was monitored. As a new employee of the company, the driver did not yet have car registered for exemption list at that location – the location was also a temporary training location. Left car park at 13:03.
Company policy is that employees are not required to pay for parking but enter registration the same way that customers would – as this was their first shift at company, driver was unaware of the situation.
Upon receipt of first PCN, Driver emailed parking company (VARS Tech) to appeal the PCN on the basis of employment and included detail that they were driver – not knowing that they shouldn’t have done that. Company sent follow up PCN then DCBL sent 3 separate final notices to me, the registered keeper of car (not the driver), all of which stated they were going to recommend legal action to their client.
Pictures include:
Original PCN
Final DCBL notice

Driver does not hold copies of the emails between themselves and the PCN company. The exchange included driver’s details and company responded to say that car would have to be added to a “white list” at the location. This was not possible as driver had already moved company locations by the time the PCN was issued.
