Hi

I was hoping for some advice. I received an excess parking fine from a company called LPS on Monday 4th May. We were 19 minutes late back to the car on a trip to the Sand Dunes at Merthyr Mawr due to us having to change my young son's nappy before we left. When we got back to the car we found the ticket (we were one of many in the car park) and were shocked to see that for 19 minutes they were expecting an £85 fine or £50 if we pay within 14 days. This I feel is a very excessive amount of money for this error in judgement, money that we don't have to spare. I have taken some advice from friends, and all have said don't pay and ignore, however I am very unsure about doing this as there must be a way that they can force people to pay up or there would be no point issuing the tickets in the first place. The company is part of the BPS and nothing to do with the council or the police. We were late and we were at fault however £85/50 is a large amount of money to charge someone for a quiet carpark on a Bank Holiday Monday. The case can be appealed directly to them but this involves then disclosing personal details and I am sure will be rejected. Any advice as to what to do will be gratefully received. Many thanks!

posting images

London Parking Solutions are an IPC company and any appeal ill likely be rejected and their Independant Appeal Service is not much better.

Do not imply who was driving we were late and we found the ticket is not enough to identify the driver. refer to the driver in the third person only.
usually the advice is to wait for the posted notice to keeper, and appeal from that.

There's also Llawnroc Parking Services (LPS) and Local Parking Security (LPS) - both BPA members. @OP - could you clarify which of the three already mentioned is the PPC chasing you?

Thought an excess charge notice was one some councils use, the only recourse being magistrates court, as its a breach of the off street parking places order (or their variation of), not some private ticket.

We really need to see the ticket.

Now the experts on PPC'S can have a look and see if they can find enough signage to form a contract

Is there any appeal process.

Usual process is to ignore the windscreen ticket and wait for the Notice to keeper.
That will allow you to appeal as the keeper without identifying the driver.
If you appeal the ticket that you have then it would be reasonable to assume that the person appealing is the driver.
Once the driver is known then the Protections afforded in POFA are lost.
They [LPS] can not apply for the keeper details until after 28 days of placing the windscreen ticket but have until day 56 to get the notice to you (NTK)

Find out who owns the car park too. They can cancel.

Is your baby less than 26 weeks? (Equality Act)

Little confused as to what to do now... Do I appeal directly to them therefore disclosing personal details or do I wait for the letter to come through from them demanding the payment?

If you are the registered keeper, wait.

Also, contact who owns the car park. They can cancel. Equalities Act *requirement* for a reasonable adjustment (such as more time) would also apply if your baby is under 26 weeks

How do I find out who owns the car park? Will it be registered somewhere? Little boy is 1 so not a tiny baby.
