That make sense thanks. I couldn't help myself to visit the "crime scene" and read all the signs. I have found that the 2 white bays also have a private land sign and it states that the parking is for seoul plaza customers which I was. Unfortunately it states clearly that you have to park in the two marked areas. From far It looks like all the other signs that were there. There is another sign below it, which states "Only 2 parking spaced available: Seoul plaza customers only" However it is hang quite low, which was then obstructed by another car at the time of my visit. I am unsure whether this "evidence" will help me or work in their favour. What do you guys think? Is this helpful at all?

Thank you, I am a bit hot headed and should have refer to here before making any appeals. I assume when debt get passed onto debt collectors the total amount will increase. Is this amount going to be a new total of what they would be potentially asking for to settle, or once I receive the LoC the original charge amount applies? I am just wondering as since the appeal my amount increased by £40 instantly, hence I don't want to end up having £100 + fees of leeching debt collector.

I have stated I am a driver unfortunately. My close friend is a keeper, therefore I wanted to take the liability of her.

Hey all,

I’d like some objective opinions on a private parking ticket I’ve been given.
The layout:
I regularly shop at Seoul Plaza on a busy street. There are two vertical parking bays right outside, clearly marked with white lines. Just above those two bays, there’s space where a third car could fit, but this space isn’t marked with white lines. I parked in that spot.
There’s a sign on a pole next to it saying “Private Land – Parking Charge £100.” However, the same style of signs are also drilled into the wall of the shop itself (which is part of a larger building). Because of that, and the fact the two marked bays are obviously for customer use, I genuinely believed the unmarked space was also part of the shop’s customer parking. To make matters more confusing, I’d previously asked cashiers in the shop where to park and was told to park opposite the shop — which is exactly where these bays are.
The enforcement:
As soon as I pulled in, a guy in a van immediately started taking photos — one of my car, one of me exiting the vehicle, and even photos of me and my partner walking away towards the shop (back view, not face). He was taking pictures for total of 5 minutes (I left shop after 7 mins according to my bank payment and the start of his picture taking). If it had been in good faith, he could have just asked me to move, which I would have happily done.
The visit:
I was parked there for roughly 7 minutes while shopping at Seoul Plaza. I acted in good faith as a customer of the shop, using what I genuinely thought was customer parking.
The appeal so far:
I appealed to the parking company on the basis that:
* The layout is misleading (the unmarked space looks like part of the same bays).
* I was a genuine customer, shopping in good faith.
* Their operative acted predatory, taking photos instantly.
* Photographing me personally was unnecessary and intrusive.
They rejected it, stating “NO PERMIT, this space is not part of shop car park.” I’ve now escalated to the IAS, but as much as I keep reading about it, I realise tie IAS is useless and will side with the prive land owner.



Because I have appealed I have now lost the discount period.
