I sent them  what you wrote.

Sent who what?

Sent this to Lee Baron

Dear Sirs,

I am writing regarding a Parking Charge Notice issued by your agent ParkingEye to me, the registered keeper of vehicle [VRM] at Ilford Lidl, land managed by Lee Baron. A copy of this notice is attached.

On the occasion the parking charge was issued, the driver of the vehicle was a customer of Lidl, and therefore a legitimate user of the car park. I have attached a receipt from Lidl confirming this. The charge was apparently issued because the vehicle returned within one hour, but ParkingEye have failed to provide any evidence that it was the same driver on both occasions, which would need to be the case for the alleged contravention to have occurred.

I am sure that when you hired ParkingEye, your intention as the managers of this land was to deter misuse of your car park, not to penalise legitimate customers of the retailers on your land, as has happened in this case. With that in mind, I kindly request that you instruct ParkingEye to cancel this unfair charge.

If ParkingEye continue to pursue the matter I will have no hesitation in defending my position, up to and including court if necessary, where Lee Baron may be held jointly and severally liable for the actions of their agent in any claim and/or counterclaim. I hope that it will not reach this stage, that common sense will prevail and the charge will be cancelled.

Yours faithfully,

Any help please i am new this appealing business

Replied back asking to check attached PCN

Should i appeal on the parkingeye website first ?

Hello

Writing as the Registered Keeper of the car i received a PCN from ParkingEye. The driver was a customer of Lidl and spent £50.

Parkingeye has issued a speculative invoice for £100 to you, the keeper, because the vehicle returned within an hour. There was a legitimate reason for the vehicle returning as it was to pick up some items that had been forgotten.

Please get your agent to cancel the PCN, otherwise i intend to challenge this all the way to court if necessary and as Lee Baron is jointly and severally liable for the actions of their agent, they should be prepared to be named in any claim and counterclaim.

Attached are copies of the pcn and the the receipt from that day.

Better ?

Really?

How about explaining that you were a customer of Lidl (show a copy of a receipt) and you would like them to get their agent to cancel the PCN as it has been issued unfairly. Explain that as the contractor, they are jointly and severally liable for the actions of their agent and you intend to challenge the PCN all the way to court if necessary.

PE have no evidence that the driver who was operating the vehicle was the same person as on the first visit. The PCN is issued against the driver, who is unknown to them and there is no legal obligation to reveal the drivers identity to an unregulated private parking company.

Do I have to go on? Please use some imagination when putting together a request to the landowner.

Oh wow i missed whole bunch out 🤦🏾 good thing i came on here first then bloody hell lol
