The Parking Charge Notice was issued for parking without making payment or overstaying the time paid for on 20/10/2020 at Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR, Polzeath. Evidence of the breach is attached for your reference. A full site map of the car park and signage are not available.
In accordance with Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, our client is entitled to recover the parking charge from you as the registered keeper. You were invited to nominate the driver if it was not you, but no nomination was received. This right has now expired as recovery action has commenced.
Please also note that the agreement between our client and the landowner is not relevant to this matter. You are not a party to that agreement, and it cannot affect the validity of the Parking Charge Notice or support a defence.
additional £60 represents what is dressed up as a 'Debt Recovery' fee, and if so, is this nett or inclusive of VAT? If the latter, would you kindly explain why I am being asked to pay the operator’s VAT?
13. With regard to the principal alleged PCN sum: Is this damages, or will it be pleaded as consideration for parking?
The additional £70 applied to the Parking Charge is permitted under the International Parking Community (IPC) Code of Practice. Our client is a member of the IPC, a government-approved Accredited Trade Association, and follows its Code of Practice. The amount is reasonable, reflects the costs of recovery, and encourages payment without the need for further action.
By entering and parking on our client’s private land, you accepted the terms and conditions displayed at the entrance and throughout the site. Failure to comply with those terms constituted a breach of contract, and the Parking Charge Notice was issued correctly. Should legal proceedings be required, the claim will be for unpaid parking charges and breach of contract.
We note that you are seeking debt advice, and the matter has been placed on hold for 30 days. If payment is not made within that time, we may be instructed to issue a County Court claim.
You may wish to seek independent legal advice.
Yours sincerely
