Private parking tickets / Re: Displaying Expired / discontinued permit - Princes Park Manor - London

Thank you to all the advice here.  Inadvertently the initial response referred to 'I' as I am the gym member so i've fallen at that hurdle. 

However, I'm pleased to see that I still have good grounds to appeal this all the way.  The middle stage was that they asked for a copy of the parking permit which was provided.  Then instead of that being the end of it, they wrote back with the £20 settlement offer. 

Surely it either is or isn't an offence.  I thought that by providing evidence of the permit to park, that would and should have been the end of it.

Many thanks again. Much appreciated.

Private parking tickets / Displaying Expired / discontinued permit - Princes Park Manor - London

I have been a member of the local gym for a number of years which is located within a residential development.  You are able to park provided you display a parking permit.  The permit badges changed some time ago and the old and expired one was still stuck to my window.  However, the valid and up to date one was also on display.  UKPC have issued a PCN for displaying an expired/discontinued permit.  Originally I appealed and provided evidence that i had a valid permit and had been parking in the development for years to use the gym.  I commented that the inspector must have missed the new permit on display or perhaps it fell off the windscreen - nonetheless it has been provided and i was able to park there. 

Upon appeal, they have sent a follow up letter saying they still believe the PCN should stand and offered a lower settlement charge of £20.  Although clearly less, this feels like a money grab at the last minute - i have demonstrated that i had a valid permit, it was missed by the inspector but still they want to charge me £20.  They say the appeals process is now concluded so the options are -pay £20 or head to independent adjudicator.  I also said they could check my details with the local gym for further corroboration but they didn't reply on that point.  The risk being that the fine reverts to £100 if appeal is unsuccessful.

Any comments or advice gratefully received.  Thank you.
