My 81 year old dad received this. He was confused by the signs.no blue badge but needs to get one. Is there any way I can help him with this ticket? Thank you

Private parking tickets / Horizon Hatfield Galleria Parking Charge
« on: February 13, 2026, 12:38:29 pm »
My wife entered the galleria. The gate barrier stick was up and open and no ticket was provided at machine at entrance to car park. There were no clear signs what to do. She did not read any small print that might have been there. when she left about 30 minutes later the gate and barrier to leave the car park opened for my wife and as no ticket was given I assumed there’s no parking fee to pay. Please advise if legally horizon parking can charge me this charge and what is the best way to challenge? I am the registered keeper. Breach was on 14.01. Charge issue was 28.01. I received the ticket in the post on Febuary 4. Is that too late for them to serve charge? From the gate opening for her, she reasonably assumed there was no fee.

Pretty damning evidence of their ability to frustrate any contract. Any chance you can show us the actual letter received?

I only received this in a email

This morning, I received this from Royal Free parking services, rf-tr.parkingrfl@nhs.net.

Dear ....
Our sites are controlled by ANPR and register the length of time you stay and therefore payment is needed for that time, unfortunately the system will not pick up whether you have found a parking space or not and that is why the PCN was issued. If you cannot find parking, you would need to find alternative parking. However as this is the first PCN issued to this vehicle I have cancelled it as a gesture of good will on this occasion and you will receive formal notification of this in due course.

No answer from The hospital parking department yet.

Should I put in my own appeal?

Barnet PALS was useless.
Royal Free parking services are more sensible: rf-tr.parkingrfl@nhs.net.

It is one of the ANPR cameras operated car park, where parking time is measured between entrance and exit shots without any evidence of actual parking.

PALS immediate responded suggesting I contact RF parking services with the email you provided.
I will update

If someone could help be understand the appeal by date?

It says "appeals should be submitted within 28 days of the delivery of the parking charge"

What does that mean?

event date was 8.11.24
issue date was 14.11.24
date I received the letter was a couple of days later.

Until when can I appeal it?

9
Have you approached the PALS service to ask them to intervene and get it cancelled?

The "mugs discount" is there to get the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to capitulate and pay into the unregulated private parking operators coffers without them having to do a thing. Ka-ching! Another easy £60.

My advice is to ignore the mugs discount and get this cancelled by PALS. If you've not had a response from them by the appeal deadline, then come back for a suggested appeal and subsequent secondary appeal (ParkingEye will always reject an initial appeal) with POPLA.

Thank you.

I wrote to PALS and will update you

I have added the original letter they sent me

I was waiting for my daughter in Barnet hospital. After giving up trying to find parking, as many others were, I just waited in the car park without leaving my car. For 39 minutes. Do I have any sort of case for appeal or should I pay the £60 which is the lower rate which tomorrow is the last day for.
Many thanks for all your help
