One Parking Solutions - ticket for returning within no return period
« on: »
Driver received a parking charge for returning within the no return time (24HR no return period).

Am i able to appeal this by flat out refusing to name the driver, given the ticket isn't a notice to keeper?

Physical copy of the PC was issued on windscreen - the images they've provided on the appeal site aren't consistent - one looks like the time / date has been superimposed after being taken as isn't the same format as the others. Although not sure this means anything...

Any advice appreciated

Do you have (or can you easily acquire) any photos of the signage?

'No return within ____' clauses are generally difficult to enforce. Contracts are formed between parking companies and drivers - a vehicle cannot form a contract. Unless the parking company can demonstrate that the same driver parked on both occasions, it's difficult to see how they would demonstrate that a 'No return' term had been breached.

Is my best bet to not provide driver details & argue from that angle? how they're unable to enter into a 'contract' with a vehicle itself?

If it were me, I'd wait for the postal NtK before doing anything.

Give the parking operator the maximum chance to screw up.

They cannot prove that it was the same driver on both occasions and there is no legal requirement for any keeper to reveal any driver details.

The notice gives alternative breaches i.e. overstaying or returning within.

OP, only visitors are subject to these conditions subject to displaying 'a valid OPS visitor permit'.

Could this be as simple as a visitor permit with start time was clearly displayed in the windscreen and that 7.10am 15 March was more than 12 hours after the clearly indicated start time? I think you need to rule this out first.

I've not had a NTK come yet - is there a cutoff point as for how long i should wait? the PCN states i can only appeal with 14 days of it being isseud - I thought it was a case of i'd receive a PCN or a NTK, not both?

I have the visitors permit in my vehicle at all times - i do live in the block of flats but only allocated 1 space. I'm assuming the charge is for returning within 24 hours as both images were taken around the same time (7am) on different days (14th & 15th of March)

See
Protection of Freedoms Act 2012

(4)The notice must be given by—

(a)handing it to the keeper, or leaving it at a current address for service for the keeper, within the relevant period; or

(b)sending it by post to a current address for service for the keeper so that it is delivered to that address within the relevant period.

(5)The relevant period for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) is the period of 28 days following the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to driver was given.
So deadline for the postal NtK is something like May 12.

I live with my partner and you're allocated 1 space per flat. She was using the residential permit at the time (i had the visitors permit)

Hi all,

Just wanted to check if my best bet is to just ignore the PCN and wait to see if a NTK will be issued? Or is it worth appealing the PCN on the grounds outlined in some of the comments (putting the onus on them to prove that it was the same driver on both occaisions / not identifying the driver as PCN is not PoFA compliant)?

Appeal cut off is Sunday and just wanted to be definitely sure i take the best route.

Any advice appreciated - cheers!

If it's specifically for "no return", maybe the reference should be to "driver(s)". It forestalls any assumption that there was ever one "driver"
