Dear Mr XXXX,
Thank you for your letter of appeal. The details of the Parking Charge Notice are as follows:
Parking Charge Notice Number: XXXX
Date of Issue: 06/04/2025
Vehicle Registration Mark: XXXX
Time of Issue: 10:37:15
The Site: Shoreditch High Street - London
Breach of Terms and Conditions:
No valid pay and display/permit was purchased
Having carefully considered the supporting evidence provided by you, Euro Car Parks (ECP) have decided to reject your appeal for the following reasons:
• The Site is operated by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system. ANPR cameras have captured an image of the vehicle registration mark LL13RNA entering and leaving The Site and calculated the duration of stay.
• When purchasing a pay and display ticket or mobile payment session, payment is required for the full duration of your stay and for the full and correct vehicle registration mark. Signage at the site clearly details the terms and conditions that you must adhere to.
• 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.
• Euro Car Parks do not need to provide evidence of who was driving the vehicle, it is the registered keeper’s responsibility to inform of the full name and address within 28 days beginning with the day after the notice was given. If the full amount remains unpaid, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (‘the Act’), Euro Car Parks have the right subject of the Act to recover from the keeper of the vehicle at the time it was parked so much of that amount which remains unpaid, therefore, the notice was issued correctly and remains payable.
• if you were not the driveR, please provide a UK serviceable address with full name of the driver to col@eurocarparks.com , in order to process a change of liability on your behalf. If such information will not be provided, the notice will remain payable with you as Registered Keeper.

• Any form of parking ticket or ‘notice’ is issued under the law ‘of trespass and Contract Law’. A driver who is invited (or chooses) to park on private land and use the car parking facilities and pays a fee/s does so under a contract (signage) with the car park operator. The parking contract sets out the terms that apply to the parking service, including the price.
• The contract (signage) clearly states the extra charges are that the driver will incur and have to pay if they decide to break the contract terms − for example, by parking longer than the time paid for or exceeding the maximum time limit applicable.
The parking charge notice has been issued correctly and remains payable.
