Free Traffic Legal Advice

Dear FTLA Team,

You previously helped me challenge a parking ticket, and I would like to ask for your advice before I decide whether to pay or appeal this new one.

I have received a PCN from NCP for Birmingham Airport Premium Set Down. The vehicle was recorded entering at 03:07:15 and exiting at 03:10:34, so the total time on site was only about 3 minutes and 19 seconds.

This was my first Uber trip to that part of Birmingham Airport. It was dark, there was no barrier, and I did not notice any clear payment signage or obvious payment point. I also did not receive the first PCN/Notice to Keeper, so this is the first time I became aware of it.

Before I pay £100 charge or contact NCP, please could you advise whether this is worth challenging, especially on the basis of the short stay, lack of clear signage, no barrier, and the fact that I did not receive the first notice?

Kind regards,
Thanks.

Thanks, I have redacted.

They didn't provide a photo of entrance.

I provided the photos.
Gladstone response was shallow and did not attend to our request. See their response in attached...

Thank you

Hello,

Please, can someone advise if this can lead to a CCJ? I honestly do not need one on my file.
Please, I welcome your advice on how to handle this, as it looks like the debt agency is willing to enter one against me.

Greetings,

Really grateful for your guidance and help. I got an update from DVLA.
Kindly find attached letter. It looks like I need to appeal to the independent compliants assessor.
Your guidance is really appreciated.

Thank you!

Good morning,

Following advice to send above email on 2nd May, I got a response after sending above mail as advised. Email reads below-
'This is not the Appeal process please follow the steps on your PCN for the appeal web address to appeal.'

I will appreiate any advice before this gets out of hand. Also, I got a payment reminder (100£ since I have missed the initial window).
