Eurocarparks appeal admin fee
« on: »
Hi everyone

I'm hoping for a bit of clarification with the reply I got from eurocarparks after I appealed. I got the fine in February, I appealed it straight away as I had paid for the car park. It took me about 15 mins to sort out as the first website listed on their signage wasn't working and I was struggling with signal. When I managed to access the second website, I also had to register for an account and verify my account as it was my first visit so that took another 5 mins. 
Any help understanding the reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Having carefully considered the supporting evidence provided by you, Euro Car Parks (ECP) have decided to reject your appeal for the following reasons:

UOV

The Site is operated by an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system and patrolled by ECP employees.

When purchasing a pay and display ticket or mobile payment session, payment is required for the full duration of your stay and the full and correct vehicle registration mark. Signage at the site clearly details the terms and conditions that you must adhere to

Your appeal states that you purchased a pay and display ticket or mobile payment session. however, after checking the providers mobile payment and/or pay and display machine audit reports for your stay, there are no transactions for the vehicle registration mark which would suggest there has been a "major keying error" when purchasing a pay and display ticket/mobile payment session.

Please be advised that it is the driver's responsibility to ensure that they enter their full and correct vehicle registration details when making a payment. You had entered the payment location ID number instead of your vehicle registration details.

ECP can confirm the parking charge notice has been issued correctly and the £20.00 administration fee is now due as per the British Parking Association Code of Practice. Failure to pay the £20.00 administration fee within 14 days from the date of this letter the parking charge notice amount will revert back to the original amount due when the appeal was logged

F.3

You either pay £20 now or they will claim something like £100 from you and take you to court if you do not pay. If you want advice to defend this, read and act on https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/. You have to decide whether paying £20 now to make this go away is worth it.

They are saying that you did not enter your VRM (your car’s registration details) and, even though they eventually found what you did enter, they are charging you an admin fee instead of the whole amount originally demanded by them.
