Hi - hoping for some advice please. We went to a concert in Manchester, found a euro car park site to park at. The machine was not working, i couldnt get the website online option to work on my phone and we spent around 8 and 1/2 minutes trying to pay on the phone keying in reg etc but then got stuck in a loop with no options to pay. All this attempted in the dark as lighting was pretty non-existent!. Eventually we had to give up and exited the car park 18mins later and went straight to another euro car park down the road, the machine worked, i bought my ticket and headed off to the concert. I have had a PCN for an 18minute 'stay' in the 1st car park. They rejected my appeal so i logged an appeal with POPLA. Euro car parks response so far is still that it's a valid fine. I think this is wholly unreasonable - we made various attempts to pay and when all exhausted paid a fee at one of their other sites. We did not seek to avoid paying for parking. I have 7days to respond now and not sure what else to say. :-(

They did not say it was a fine, definitely not used that word, not ever

They would state that it was a charge and a parking charge notice, an invoice is what it was

Clearly you could not complete the contract due to the issues but they would have allowed ten minutes, not 18 minutes, hence the pcn

You actually only have 6 days to get your comments in, although I believe that they have increased the character count to ten thousand characters from 2000 characters

So get drafting your popla comments and don't miss the deadline
