Private parking tickets / Alliance Parking PCN – No Parking / 16 Min ANPR Stay – Incorrect Operator Evidence? – Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR
« on: Yesterday at 08:24:27 pm »
Hi all,
I’m the registered keeper and have received a postal Notice to Keeper from Alliance Parking for Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR.The vehicle did not park. On arrival, the driver was unable to find a parking space due to the car park being gridlocked. The vehicle remained in circulation while attempting to locate a space, then exited when it became clear parking was not possible.
I appealed as registered keeper (without naming the driver) saying: no parking took place, the driver was unable to park, the 16 minutes was spent circulating / attempting to leave safely, two separate timestamped ANPR images does not prove parking. Alliance rejected the appeal with a template-style response saying: signage was clear, payment was required on arrival, by remaining beyond a few minutes the driver accepted the contract, no payment was made.They didn’t really address the point that no parking event occurred.
Also, the payment search evidence they’ve provided on page 3 appears to be for the wrong date range (showing payment checks between 02/04 and 02/04, rather than the alleged event date of 04/04). That makes me question whether they have properly reviewed the evidence for this case at all.
Main questions:
Is this worth taking to IAS?
How strong is the “no parking / no contract formed” argument on these facts?
Does the apparent wrong-date payment evidence help?
Any other points worth raising (signage / grace / consideration period / POFA wording)?
Thank you very much in advance. I've attached front and back of NTK and appeal rejection here:
