NPC - Gatwick - non payment of drop off charge
« on: »
Hi all, I received a parking charge for allegedly not paying for the drop off charge. I did pay it though however but I do remember I didn't receive an email confirmation - I didn't think much of it as it did come out of my bank so I have now appealed it and showed a screenshot of my bank transaction... Anyone encountered a similar situation?

To help us help you, please read the following thread carefully, and provide as much of the information it asks for as you are able to: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking Charges Forum guide

We will also need to see a copy of exactly what you submitted as your appeal, and in what capacity you appealed (driver, vehicle's keeper, hirer, etc.)

Thanks for your response. I appealed and told the truth. Told them I was the driver and that I paid for the drop off charge but didn't get an email back after paying and sent them a screenshot of the payment leaving my bank

What's done is done but for future reference if you come here first we can help tackle these things on first appeal.

If you provide the information mentioned in the guide then we can advice. A timeline with dates would be useful.

It’s not a case of telling the truth. No one is suggesting you lie. However, there is a difference and admitting liability when there was no reason to do so and thus throwing away the “golden ticket” is not the way forward.

By being “truthful” instead of being sensible you have now prolonged this matter and are likely to have to defend this in court if you honestly believe that you’ve been wronged.

All you had to do was appeal as the registered keeper of the vehicle and this would have been over. NCP had no idea who the driver was until you blabbed it by being “truthful”. Because Gatwick airport is land under statutory control (bylaws) the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 does not apply and therefore there can be no Keeper liability.

There is no legal obligation on the Keeper to identify the driver to an unregulated private parking company and no inference or assumptions can be made. The burden of proof was on NCP to identify the driver but you have simply done the job for them, instead of leaving them with no choice but to cancel the PCN.

So, you’ve been asked above to provide a copy of the NtK but you don’t appear to be reading or noticing the request above.
