Private parking tickets / Unfair private PCN received
« on: November 28, 2025, 10:22:29 pm »
Anything can be done about this?
The driver of the vehicle needed to collect something from a shop in Hanley as detailed in the address below.
The only place to park was on the carpark in the address, the street had red lines.
The driver was parked for 6 minutes, can this be appealed, it seems very unfair that the driver should be charged because the driver was there for 6 minutes, the driver didn't even leave the car as the passenger collected the item from the shop, the driver also has a disabled badge displayed in the windscreen and the engine wasn't even switched off.
Is the driver correct in thinking that the PCN is invalid and they are just trying their luck?
The driver wouldn't have entered if they'd have known a fine would have come through the door.
I've had a look on Google and also asked chatGPT and it suggested that the driver could appeal on the following grounds.
1. POFA non-compliance: keeper cannot be liable.
2. No contract: poor or missing entrance signage.
3. Grace period: 6 minutes = legally insufficient to issue a charge.
4. Driver did not park (remained in the vehicle).
5. Disabled badge – Equality Act breach.
6. ANPR does not show a breach.
7. IPC member: unreliable liability claims.
Can I appeal on these grounds or not?
See the Google drive link for the full PCN as the driver can't find an option to upload the photo here
