<br><br>Two points from their reply stood out to me. <br>1) they claim that "the signage on site clearly advertise the available payment methods" and "[phone payment] is not an accepted payment method on site and has no affiliation to the site the vehicle parked on". <br>2) they "maintain that the signs on this site meet the requirements set by the [IPC] Code of Practice". <br><br>On number 1: The sign at the entrance of the car park states "Refer to the sign(s) within the car ark for details" and "Pay by phone or online only". The sign inside the car park clearly states, under the "how to pay" section, "to pay by phone ... call 0345 434 8008 and follow instructions", which the driver did. If the signage on site clearly advertise the available payment methods, then I believe any reasonable person would come to the conclusion that phone payments are in fact accepted at the car park in question through the number advertised. <br><br>On number 2: I'm not familiar with the IPC CoP, but as can be seen from the Google Maps photo, there are multiple fake/scam QR codes on the parking sign. Upon getting a friend to take pictures of the car park after reading the instruction on this forum, it became apparent that the sign in question has since been removed as of 07/04/2025. The most recent Google Maps review has also mentioned the lack of signage inside the car park. If the removal of the sign was intentional then that feels like an admission that the signage was misleading, and if unintentional then surely a car park with no instructions on how to pay cannot be compliant with the Code of Practice? <br><br>Google Maps link to the car park in question: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xG4WUP5iHNQLPAbg8 <br><br>Phone log <br>
