PCN - Estate Parking Wing Security Limits Haringey
« on: »
I initially thought this was a private PCN, but apparently this is a council PCN managed by Wing.

The driver parked in an estate, and the PCN was issued on car window.

See image of PCN below. I’ve read conflicting advice online with regards to whether this should be appealed/paid. Can someone pls advise?

Thanks

I am inclined to think it is private - it talks of Parking Charge, not Penalty Charge, and the amounts are odd: £100 discounted to £60.

I would move this to the Private Parking Forum, but will wait for others with knowledge of Haringey's devious parking practices.

Just checking Haringey's site, and found this
https://www.haringey.gov.uk/housing/council-tenants/estate-parking-and-garages/parking-housing-estates/estate-parking-consultation

So Haringey have out-sourced council estate parking, but will be bringing it in-house.

So have moved this to Private Parking.

This is a private parking issue.

The use of the word Haringey and its format are deceitful, this has nothing to do with Haringey Council (whose corporate logo they are mimicking) as an Enforcement Authority acting under the authority of the Traffic Management Act and regulations.

It also doesn't come under the umbrella of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 whereby a registered keeper may be held liable for the 'sins' of a driver because in order to avail themselves of this right a creditor must satisfy conditions and in this case they've fallen at the first hurdle because they,Wing Security Limited, are not an Approved Operator of an Accredited Trade Association.   

Do not on any account contact them.
Do not try to explain anything to them.

Come back here if the registered keeper receives correspondence on this matter.

You can safely ignore it. Nothing will come of it. Wing are not a member of any accredited trade association and have no access to the DVLA.

They have no idea who the driver or the Keeper is. Just ignore it.
