Horizon Parking - Tesco Car Wash
« on: »
Hi all,

I’ve used this forum before when it was called Pepipoo or something similar. Glad to have found it again under this new link.

We had the car cleaned at Tesco (waves car wash). Bit of a backlog so the guy says “come back at 5pm”. We do, all fine.
Two weeks later we get a PCN fine thru the post saying we owe £70 or £40 if settled early. Reason: overstaying.

After a few hours of stressing (as this stuff just winds me up), I called Waves head office.

Apparently this happens all the time. Just sent them a photo of the letter and she’s said she will get it cancelled.

Hope this helps other people as couldn’t find anything on Google about it.

You do realise that a phone call is not worth the paper it is written on if you are going rely on someone from Waves getting the PCN cancelled. What do you do if a few weeks down the line you get a final reminder and a debt collector who has added £60-£70 to the original charge?

Make sure you get something in writing, preferably by email confirming that they will get the PCN cancelled. Also, what do you do if they can't? I doubt that the contract with Horizon was signed by them but rather with Tesco themselves. Waves are a third party to any contract between Horizon and Tesco.

What you may want to do is show us the NtK you received. It is possible that Horizon have not issued an NtK that complies with the requirements of PoFA to be able to hold the known keeper liable. Only the unknown driver can be liable and there is no legal obligation for the known keeper to identify the unknown driver.

So, whilst Waves may or may not be able to get the PCN cancelled, you may as well appeal it, especially if it is not a PoFA compliant  NtK using using the "go get stuffed" protocol. Please show us the NtK suitably redacted but showing all dates.

You can check to see if it's cancelled by going online as if to pay it, if it lets you go as if to pay it's not cancelled.
