The advised emails have been sent, and post family time, the driver has finally dug this out as the appeal wording:Parking Charge Reference No: xxxxxxxVehicle Reg: xxxxxxxxxxxA notice to Keeper was received regarding a parking charge at Blackpool Retail Estate on 10/11/25. As Keeper without acknowledgment of being the driver this message is to appeal the issued charge. We wish for this charge to be purged from your records on the grounds that: The signage is not clearly visible on site at nightThe driver was a customer at the McDonald's on site via the drive thru was not parked for the whole timeRegardsKeeper:xxxxxxxRef: xxxxxxAs said the site swallowed this without anything coming back.

Excuse me, but I do not understand the hostility here? An appeal was put in on the 17th, but nothing was received until today; no numbers, no email - the UKPC site took the text block and then nothing until the debt recovery letter dropped through the door.  Not trying to waste anyone's time, the advice so far has been appreciated.

It was too late for an appeal it seems, as this came through the Keepers door today..... All help appreciated.

Anything particular I need to say in the appeal please?The Keeper went up to the site and discovered that inside the McDonald's are signs saying if you need more time in the car park than the 1 hour given to speak to the Manager. Said manager would not issue said note retrospectively though. Also 2 views of the car park.

HelloThat was posted in the first post on this thread?Here it is again in case it's not showing. All correspondence has been shared now.

Thank you for the reply. The Keeper is not contesting no breech occurred just that it is unfair; stay 8 mins over or 2 hrs over and its the same 'fine' Unsure of when the evening times had changed, certainly nothing was highlighting such in local press or on site. Driver not been able to visit site and get night pictures - will try to do so. The other side of the notice is attached- there has been no other communication, except a TXT came through this AM which is worrying for the Keeper because how did they get the number?

The Keeper feels that the fee is ridiculous, and OTT considering the car park is not limited during the day and they could park "for hours" with no problem, but nip in for a burger and chat in the evening and suddenly you are slapped with stupid, oversized, and undeserving 'charges'. Particularly since the signs are (while not invisible), certainly not clear at night and the time change was unknown to them since their last visit to said park. Hope that explains things.

HelloThe Keeper got this after visiting a McDonald's in Worcester Blackpole. They do not want to pay the BS 'fee' considering they where not parked for all that time given time to go through the drive-thru plus 10mins grace.There has been no contact with UKPC.Please advise.
