Dear XXX

RE: Contractual Parking Charge Notice XXXXXX

Regarding the above Contractual Parking Charge Notice, we would like to confirm that this has been waived.

No further action is required by you.

No Evidence of a Breach:

The evidence you provided—two photographs of my vehicle in a parking bay—does not demonstrate that I left the site. These images merely show my vehicle’s presence at the location, not my actions as the driver. Under the British Parking Association (BPA) or International Parking Community (IPC) Code of Practice, you must provide clear and specific evidence (e.g., video footage or photographs of me leaving the premises) to substantiate the claim that I breached the terms by leaving the site. The photographs you supplied fail to meet this standard and are wholly insufficient to justify the charge.

The Notice shows the vehicle parked in a designated parking slot, and in a car park with a 3 hour allowance. The notice refers to 'parked and left site' as the term breached, yet there is no evidence to support this. Before I can consider your demands, can you please provide photographic evidence that the driver of the vehicle 'left site'in alleged contravention of your terms. 

Given the lack of evidence supporting your allegation and I deny leaving site, I insist that you cancel this PCN immediately. Should you reject this appeal, please provide any additional evidence you intend to rely upon. Be warned, however, that if you persist with this baseless charge, I look forward to meeting you in court, where I am confident your flimsy evidence will not withstand scrutiny. I expect your response within the timeframe outlined in your governing body’s Code of Practice.

Ah - okay. For future reference, don't do that! Always choose other.

Yes, ignore everything unless you get a Letter of Claim or N1SDT Claim Form - at which point this will be easily defended.

Debt collectors are powerless. There is no risk to your credit score. You will only receive a CCJ if you 1. go to court, 2. lose, 3. fail to pay within 30 days.

I am writing to challenge the absurd parking charge you have issued, which cites "Term breached: Parked and left site Central Six Retail Park, Warwick Rd, Coventry, CV3 6TA.." The lack of specificity in your allegation (Parked and left site) is staggering. Who allegedly left the site? Was it the driver, a passenger, or perhaps someone entirely unrelated? You have presented no evidence of any breach, let alone identifying who supposedly breached this arbitrary term.

1. Lack of Evidence and Specificity:

The Notice to Keeper includes photos of a vehicle parked in a marked bay. Nothing more. No evidence of any person leaving the site. Your allegation is so vague and ill-defined that it would struggle to hold up under any scrutiny, let alone in court.

2. Contractual Terms Only Bind the Driver:

Even if you had managed to capture photos of someone leaving the site (and I'm still waiting to see any evidence), you fail to understand that passengers are not bound by your ridiculous terms. Only the driver enters into any so-called contract, and you cannot prove the driver left the site. If you think this baseless claim will survive any legal challenge, I suggest you reconsider your intellectual approach.

3. Undefined "Site" Boundaries:

It is a sign of intellectual malnourishment that you expect anyone to adhere to rules regarding a “site” when you have failed to define what the boundaries of the “site” are. The ambiguity in your signage would be comical if it weren’t an attempt to scam drivers with made-up breaches.

4. Your Operative's Inaction:

If your operative who took the photos witnessed someone "leaving the site," why did they not inform the driver that a breach was about to occur? The entire basis of this charge is not only malicious but stinks of an attempt to scam money. If you intend to claim this nonsense is enforceable, you clearly need to re-educate your staff on the basics of contractual law and fairness.

5. No Loss or Damage:

You’ve suffered no loss. The vehicle was parked in a marked bay, and there is no evidence that any contract was breached. This £100 charge is nothing more than a penalty dressed up to look legitimate, and it would be laughed out of court.

It is clear this charge is unenforceable. Should you reject this challenge and try to escalate this matter, be advised that I am more than prepared to expose the intellectual and legal deficiencies of this case in front of a judge. I expect this nonsense to be cancelled immediately.

Have you named the driver or did you appeal as the keeper?

IAS is typically a waste of time.
