Hi all,
Wish I’d found this forum a lot sooner to be honest. Hoping there might be someone who can help / advise if there’s anything I can do in my situation to get out of this charge.
I got a McDonald’s drive-thru after a gig at about 1am, parked for about 20 minutes whilst I ate it, in what I thought was McDonald’s car park, however it turns out although you need to drive through the car park I parked in, it’s actually ran by UKPC. They have large signs that say ‘3 hours max parking’ and on a smaller sign below is states no parking after 12:15am.
I appealed to UKPC and stated I didn’t see the sign (which I didn’t) and I also appealed to POPLA. I didn’t use a template, had never seen this site or others.
Both were rejected. I didn’t see the email from POPLa notifying me of the rejection which is dated 16th April. I logged in last night and the charge is now £170.
I haven’t had any letters other than the initial one information of the offence.
Is there anything at all I can do?
Any help massively appreciated at this time!
Thanks!
