Private parking tickets / Re: UKPC - parked in an area for registered users only - Horsted Retail Park Chatham
« on: January 31, 2026, 04:46:59 pm »
Hello, I have received a POPLA code and would appreciate some guidance as to how best to word my appeal.
My intention is to clearly state that the vehicle was NOT parked in an area reserved for registered users, as is claimed. However my concern is that I have no proof one way or the other. I also intend to state that the NTK does not provide proof of location of parking.
About a month before receiving this NTK I received an NTK for parking in the same location (service yard). I paid this PCN because in this case the driver was an idiot and did park in the service yard (actually at the end of the access road leading to the yard) for a short time, so it was a fair cop. Also my father had recently passed and I was in no mind for any dispute and nor did I have the time whilst dealing with his estate and supporting my elderly mother. The mistake I made was paying it immediately thinking it would be the end of it. So this 2nd NTK is either an error or... something else.
On the positive side I feel this works in my favour if this ever gets to court - after all, why would I pay the first PCN immediately and then dispute the 2nd?
