Private parking tickets / Re: UKPS PCN at Eaton House Coventry, on site for 56 seconds

Thank you for your appeal.

Having noted your comments, and checking the evidence gathered when issuing the Parking Charge, we are satisfied that the Parking Charge has been issued correctly and your appeal is rejected.

The car park in which the vehicle had been parked operates as a permit holder only car park. There are clear signs informing all drivers they must have a valid permit registered to the vehicle to park on this site. It is the drivers sole responsibility to ensure they are familairising themselves with the signs and adhering to the terms and conditions stated within them.

As you can see from the photographic evidence, the vehicle parked up, passengers exited the vehicle and walked offsite.

As the driver did not adhere to the terms and conditions stated within the abundance of signs and parked in a permit holder only car park, without having a valid permit registered to the vehicle, this parking charge has been issued correctly. Please be advised that all photographic evidence can be viewed by typing: pay.theukps.com in to your top address browser.

We now require payment of the parking charge to be made within 28 days of this letter.

Current balance owed: £60

* This outstanding balance will increase to £100 in 14 days from the date of this letter.

If you believe this decision is incorrect, you are entitled to appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS). In order to appeal, you will need your Parking Charge number and your vehicle registration. Appeals must be submitted to the IAS within 28 days of the date of this letter/email. Please visit www.theias.org for full details.

For free advice regarding your parking charge, including advice on appealing, please visit: www.247advice.co.uk

If you choose to do nothing, after 56 days from the incident date, the parking charge will be passed to our debt recovery agent, at which point you will be liable to pay additional charges in accordance with our terms and conditions of parking and further charges will be claimed if Court action is taken against you.

Please do not ignore this communication.

Hi and thank you.

No documents enclosed. Just the PCN notice letter.

Good morning,
No appeal sent yet.
This car is a leased car.
The notice was addressed to the person that is currently leasing the car. As far as I can tell the lease company received the PCN and then informed UKPS, the details of the person that is leasing the car.
Hope I have answered all questions, apologies if I have missed anything.

Thank you.

Private parking tickets / UKPS PCN at Eaton House Coventry, on site for 56 seconds

Keeper received PCN from UKPS for "contravention of terms: Permit Required" at Eaton House near Coventry Railway Station

Looking at date/time stamps on images the driver was on site for 56 seconds total.  In this time it appears they drove onto site, possibly dropped passengers and then left site.


Keeper has not responded to PCN.

Also in images is sign from car park, and a view from the street entrance.

I, as the registered keeper was not driving at the time.

I have drafted an appeal letter (which will probably be rejected). 

Subject: Appeal Against Parking Fine – PCN [Reference Number]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally appeal the parking fine issued to my vehicle ([Vehicle Registration]) on [Date] at [Location]. The penalty was issued despite the fact that the driver never left the vehicle unattended, which does not align with the definition of "parking."
According to the dictionary definition, "parking" is "the action of leaving a vehicle in a particular place for a period of time." As the driver remained in the vehicle throughout the duration of the stop, this does not constitute parking. The drivers presence in the vehicle demonstrates that the driver was not in contravention of parking regulations.
Furthermore, the signage at the location was wholly inadequate. Nowhere did it mention restrictions on brief drop-offs or waiting in the vehicle. Given that the drivers total duration at the location was a mere 56 seconds, it would have been impossible to safely read, process, and adhere to any signage, even if it had contained relevant information.
In light of these circumstances, I respectfully request that this penalty charge be cancelled. I trust that common sense will prevail, as penalizing a driver for briefly pausing in a vehicle contradicts the principles of fair enforcement.
I look forward to your response. Please confirm the cancellation of this fine at your earliest convenience.

Do you think there is anything else that I can add, before I send this off?

Thank you.
