OK - Ty for this - yes true they have no idea what I look like - Most learn to think before acting sometimes.

I will see what they say and then go from there. Many thanks for the help so far

Hi - thanks for the reply.  On the picture they have of me entering the car park you can clearly see me as the driver.

Anyhow - My response to them is as below

Hi - I have received the above parking notice charge today.   I paid for 1500-2300 hr.  I was slightly early arriving and slightly late leaving (At total of 19 mins prior and 35 mins after).  If I had paid for 1400-2345 it was the exact same price to park (£5.99 incl the Just Park Fee).  Anytime above 4 hours is the same price to park.  I don't believe this is a justifiable charge based on the fact the the car park has not incurred any loss to earnings.  The £5.99 is the maximum charge even if I was booking for 17 hours!  Given this I hope that this PCN can be quashed on this occasion.

The PCN states that I did not pay for adequate parking but I paid the £5 max fee which would cover me for longer then the parking required that I entered in to Just Park when booking

Hi,

I am after some advice.  Today I have received a £100 charge from Smart Parking (reduced to £60 if paid in 14 days). The date of the charge was 20/11/2024 and as mentioned the letter arrived today (14 days later, although the issue date on letter is 27/11/24).  On the date I had paid for parking from 1500-2300hrs via the Just Pay app and paid the £5.  My time leaving the car park was 2335hrs so 35 mins over.


£5 was the max charge in this car park regardless of time, so had I booked the parking from 1000-2345 hours it was still only £5 so there is not even a loss of earnings to the parking site!

I have sent an appeal to the Smart Parking people stating the above but I hold no hope that they will see any sort of common sense.  Should the appeal fail what is the best next steps?  (I wish I hadn't messaged them before asking!!)

Cheers

Rich
