Any contract to not return would be with the first driver. It cannot bind a second driver
Appeal on that basis. Don't name either driver. |

Absolutely no liability indeed. (Drivers form contracts, not vehicles)
Can you show there were different drivers? They are particularly litigious and a court claim is likely. Start getting ducks in a row... In parallel pursue the principal of the contract or any stores that can assist.

Has this been recorded as two visits, or is it case of "double dip" where they have recorded both visits as one long stay recorded time in for visit 1, and recorded time out as exit 2?

Yes, but are the parking company stating a long single visit or actually referring to the no return condition?

If it's a two vist trip then a signed statement from first driver stating that they were there at time xxxx then signed statement from 2nd driver that they were there at xxxx. If both can show appropriate receipts then so much the better.
Dear Sirs, I am the keeper of vehicle xxx and have received your PCN xxxx As you are no doubt aware a vehicle cannot, by any stretch of imagination, be capable of forming a contract with you and therefore the vehicle cannot possibly be in breach of any alleged contract. I used car park xxxxxxx at about xxxx. My wife, inknown to me, had visited xxxx previously, at about xxxx therefore creating two separate contracts with neither contract being breached. You therefore cannot possibly have no claim against me as the keeper of the vehicle. I do not expect to hear from you again on this matter other than to confirm there will be no further action taken and my personal details have been removed from your records. Yours If you can show payments by two different people then add that to the letter. Save all the documents/receipts for possible use later. They are members of the IPC so you do not bother appealing to the IAS, where a loss is guaranteed, and ignore the inevitable debt collectors letter and wait for a possible letter before claim This post has been edited by ostell: Sat, 18 Aug 2018 - 11:45 |

Card receipts show different cards used on each occasion if any purchases made.
Would cement the different driver for each case. |

The sign could have been drafted in such a way as to burden the first driver with the obligation of "procuring that" the vehicle is not returned to the parking area within three hours... But, I doubt it was drafted in that way.
Personally, I would rather not provide any driver details to a PPC, so I would proceed to respond as RK, noting that there were two drivers, neither of whom returned, so neither driver could have breached the "no return" term of the contract. Any physical evidence supporting this should be retained (athough the personal testimony of the drivers should be sufficient) for possible use in court. If the PPC believes you, they would be very unlikely to chance court. --Churchmouse |

Hi guys
ive just recieved an email from them as follows ---- 28 August 2018 Dear Mr xxxxx Re: Parking Charge Notice Number PCxxxxxx (Vehicle: xxxxxxx) Site: Seymour Grove Retail Park, Manchester Issue date: 07/08/2018 APPEAL REJECTED - Thank you for your appeal received on 17/08/2018 regarding the above detailed Parking Charge Notice. We have reviewed the case and considered the comments that you have made. This appeal has been considered in conjunction with the evidence stored on our enforcement system. Our records show that your parking charge notice was correctly issued as your vehicle was parked in a way which breaches the Terms and Conditions of Parking. We have decided to reject your appeal for the following reasons: The signage on site clearly states no return within 4 hours, by returning within 4 hours of leaving the site you became liable for a parking charge for breaching the contractual terms and conditions. Our Appeals process is now concluded, you may now pick one of the following options: 1. Pay the parking charge notice at the prevailing price of £60 to reach us by 11/09/2018 or £100 to reach us by 25/09/2018. Payments can be made by telephoning 01772 798999, or online at www.espel.uk or by sending a cheque or Postal order to the following address: Payments Department, Suite 211, City House, 131 Friargate, Preston, PR1 2EF. 2. If you believe this decision is incorrect, the Independent Appeals Service (www.theIAS.org) provides an Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme for disputes of this type. As you have complied with our appeals procedure you may use, and we will engage with, the IAS Standard Appeals Service providing you lodge an appeal to them within 21 days of this rejection. For further information please visit www.theias.org. If you decide to use the Independent Appeals Service, the offer of a discount for early payment will be withdrawn, and the full charge of £100 will apply if your appeal is rejected. Please note that the independent adjudicator is unable to cancel a charge on grounds of mitigation and the decision will be based on facts and evidence only. If you choose to do nothing, we will seek to recover the monies owed to us via our debt recovery procedures and may proceed with court action against you, for more information visit www.espel.uk/court/. Yours sincerely ES Parking Enforcement Ltd Appeals Department -JM This post has been edited by chiefs: Wed, 29 Aug 2018 - 15:01 |

No surprise whatsoever
It doesn't matter The purpose of the appeal was to demonstrate, in the event of court action later, that you acted reasonably and didn't ignore the Parking Notice Don't take the risk of an appeal to the IAS that only hands ESPE a decision to wave Simply file and ignore everything except an actual Letter Before Claim |

Gah! Why does everyone jump to bailiffs?!?
1) Low 2) pretty good, we do well above average here. Bt always a risk with litigation 3) you onmly get bailiffs if you are REALLY dumb - fail to defend a COURT CLAIM, or lose, then dont pay within the time given. It doesnt just magically happen. |

Many thanks for quick response, what shall I do from now on, ignore there letters?? I don't know how else to prove that there were two different drivers at the time. thanks Yes, ignore (but retain copies of) all correspondence from now on, no matter who sends it (PPC, debt collector or their "solicitors"), UNLESS it is a "letter before claim" or court papers. You can do nothing much on your own initiative now, except pay the PPC (if you really want to). The ball is in their court, and will be for the next 5+ years (they have six years in which to bring a breach of contract claim to court). I suppose the belt-and-braces thing to do would be to gather all of your evidence now, e.g., photographs of the signage NOW present at the site and written statements from the witnesses (the two drivers). If the PPC does decide to take you to court at some point, you would produce the witness statements and (if necessary) the witnesses, which would prove that there were two drivers, neither of which "returned" to the site, and thus, no breach of contract (by either driver). --Churchmouse |

Witness statements from both drivers would seem to cover it...
