#3 UK Car Park Management - Unauthorised Parking (issued while I was retrieving a guest pass) - Joslin Ave, NW9
on 02 Nov, 2023 12:54 in Private parking tickets
Hello,I was issued a PCN today for "Unauthorised Parking" by UK Car Park Management at Joslin Avenue NW9 on 26th October 2023 at 20:38.On the evening in question, I was visiting a friend's flat and arrived at the parking space at 20:34 (according to my Google Maps history). I walked from the car to the door of the flat, was buzzed in and went up to the 2nd floor to my friend's flat. Once I entered, I filled out the scratch-off guest parking ticket, headed back downstairs and placed the ticket in the car. There was no ticket on the car and I didn't see a parking warden present. I was probably away from the car for about 5 minutes in total while doing this.The PCN I received today has 7 pictures, taken between 20:36:35 and 20:37:21. As there was no physical ticket, I presume that the parking warden took the pictures quickly and immediately left the area where I was parked as they didn't need to fill out any physical ticket. I've attached the PCN letter to this post.I don't understand how I could be penalised for parking my car without a ticket in the short amount of time it took me to retrieve the the permit for my car. I couldn't have arrived already with the permit in my car so I'm not sure what else I was supposed to do. Is there anything I can do here?Thanks [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
