Private parking tickets / Re: PCN in Scotland - Excel Parking
« on: November 09, 2024, 10:13:41 pm »
Thanks for the replies. It clears up a few things.
I do think this is a genuine case of BS, because it's not like there was wasn't best intent and effort applied, and in reality I am not sure even if an another ticket was purchased within the time (e.g. if the intention was to stay longer than originally intended) that their dodgy system would be able to account for that. I read stories about people not paying for tickets based on the lack of keeper liability, but if certainly not me.
I can't think of any other controlled systems of parking entry/exit (at least in my recent experience) that don't have pay on exit e.g. airport, npc barrier entry, where the time of entry is known and either a ticket was issued and used on exit, or license was entered on exit, then payment was required.
The only ones that should be pay up front would places where the start time cannot be determined e.g. parking on street. Even in those instances, the likes of Ringgo have alerts and the ability to extend the time remotely.
As this is the first time receiving a notice to keeper PCN, I am a little nervous, but since I believe there was no wrong done, I am feeling a bit better about ignoring it.
