This letter was received today.
This was whilst the driver was outside nandos collecting an order. As no other parking spaces were available the driver opted to use a disabled bay as they were the only available spaces. I have spent the last few hours reading various posts and this has got me more confused. I guess I'm just asking for advice as to whether or not this should be ignored, disputed/defended, or paid (guessing that no one will say pay?). I have also attached a photograph of the sign. not the greatest photo - The driver took it as they were told that a man was taking photos of the car and expected to receive this letter in the post. All advice welcome.

First edit your post and remove anything that may ID who drove.
Refer only to the "driver" did this or that. This is very important. |

Would I be correct in thinking this is NOT a PCN as nowhere does it say penalty charge notice or even the word penalty. It just states its a parking charge.
Also this is a FREE car park This post has been edited by white999: Wed, 15 Aug 2018 - 22:41 |

Yes, it’s a civil parking charge notice, its not for anything enshrined in statute.
That doesn’t, of itself, make it unenforceable, but the only way they can make you pay is to take you to court (and win). -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

Just be aware not to ignore it, ukcps seem to take a stance of issuing court claims
They also like the sort of 'morally wrong' type of claim like yours, where they feel a judge would side with them for you using a disabled bay when you shouldn't. |

QUOTE (white999 @ Wed, 15 Aug 2018 - 23:35) Also this is a FREE car park But is not unconditional. They don't seem as litigious as they used to be but a court claim is quite possible. They will reject any possible appeal you make. So either pay it at a discount or wait and see if they issue a court claim - they have 6 years to pursue. -------------------- RK=Registered Keeper, OP=Original Poster (You!), CoFP=Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty, NtK=Notice to Keeper, NtD=Notice to Driver
PoFA=Protection of Freedoms Act, SAC=Safety Awareness Course, NIP=Notice of Intended Prosecution, ADR=Alternative Dispute Resolution PPC=Private Parking Company, LBCCC=Letter Before County Court Claim, PII=Personally Identifiable Information, SAR=Subject Access Request Private Parking - remember, they just want your money and will say almost anything to get it. |

However the KEEPER should still appeal, as you have then engaged
You could argue that the driver was loading and therefroe not parked However as pointe dout above, parking in disabled spaces is not going to go down well in court, and is not the only choice. |
