Good evening everyone
Is there any point to dispute this one? The situation was as follows: The driver was giving a lift to someone on “suicide watch”. The driver was dropping off the passenger as close to the apartment block as possible as a resident from the apartment block was taking over from the driver. The keeper’s name and address are both on the PCM. When the driver realised that there are parking/stopping restrictions - it was too late. There were no cars behind the driver - so the car didn’t cause obstruction or inconvenience. The driver stopped for less than 2 minutes to drop off passenger. Thank you in advance for any help and advice. This post has been edited by Autosmart: Wed, 18 Sep 2019 - 09:31 |

I could be wrong but isn't the location where they cannot take action for less than 10 minutes stipulated by their principal?

This honeypot is the subject of a lot of threads
I made a visit a couple of years ago with the member Bargepole to take pictures of the signs for his court cases The only signs are for the bays There are none whatsoever on the opposite side of the road In my view the motorist is entitled to assume that yellow lines have the same meaning as public roads and that he can stop for passengers to get in or out If PCM wanted to forbid stopping it should have painted them red The entrance signs are also defective The last time I visited, there was only a small inconspicuous brown sign to indicate that it was a private road There is also lettering on the road but it's cunningly placed so that, from the driver's viewpoint it's hidden by a speed bump I recall a thread regarding the ten minutes rule The contract's now changed but I also recall some threads that PCM didn't have any authority to pursue Parking Notices Edit the obvious line from your post that identifies the driver In my view PCM can't rely on the Protection of Freedoms Act to recover payment from the keeper Although it's a private road, it's a public highway and parking can be subject to statutory control Another angle that may be useful According to the Land Registry the location has a restrictive covenant I haven't had the incentive to buy a copy but it might be revealing One possibility is that it requires the owner not to restrict access to the station |

I can't but, if PCM recognise the case, that sentence tells them who was driving

NO! Dnot pay it
Youre funding people who scam people out of hard earned money, and not everyone can afford to pay The KEEPER is the person they wrote to, as noted on your V5 They have no idea who the driver is - it could be the keeper, it might be someone else. Except you tell them precisely who it is. |

EDIT your post of 22:39 where again you give far too many clues as to driver ID.
DO NOT give away anything that could be used to ID the driver AT ALL. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

I hope it’s fine now. I got rid of everything that could identify the driver (now I understand what you meant)
It’s not like I want to pay them, I just don’t have enough knowledge to keep arguing with them. I just wouldn’t know how to phrase the letter. This post has been edited by Autosmart: Wed, 18 Sep 2019 - 09:45 |

You don't need it; we have it Farenheit's proposed letter in a recent thread is a good starting point as it has the key ingredients of poor signs and an exemption to park on yellow lines What you have to understand is that you're not writing an appeal to PCM You're laying the paper trail so that a judge can see later that you acted reasonably by challenging the PCN at the earliest opportunity and that the PCM reasons to reject the appeal are nonsense |
