Thank you all for your interest in this. Both organisations requested the name of the driver which wasn't provided as we ignored all initial correspondence. Then as registered keepers we were told we were liable which we'd expect anyway. First instance was for not displaying a valid ticket (although we had one for the correct day and duration of stay), the second for parking in a restricted area (valid ticket but offloading). I have no idea whether the time limits they impose for appeals have any legal standing, or where we stand with any of this. We are a small business with a million things to do everyday without this additional burden. Best course of action ??? Thanks!

1st event occured 7th May, charge notice received 15th May. DRP started writing 25th August. They were told by us 09/09/15 we had no dealings with them and not to contact us again, which they did sending another camera image demanding money on 24th Sept. 2nd event 15th May, ticket issued same day. After initially taking no action again, we advised CPP that we had a valid ticket on the 9th Sept and were acting on behalf of their client. We received notice from them on 14th Sept that we no longer had a right to appeal quoting the infamous case. Interested whether there is any legal right by them to impose a 28 day time limit on any appeal or whether this is just the parking industry timescale.

We are aware of DR+ and their role in this as a debt collector on behalf of Excel. Would it be best to scan the letters and send as a PM?

Hi, apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I have searched unsuccessfully for something similar on this site. We are a small business with a couple of vans that received parking charges in May this year, at the time the only advice on the internet seemed to be to ignore them, which we did. If we'd found this site maybe we'd have acted differently, anyway no appeal was made within their 28 day limits. One was with Excel Parking for a site in Manchester , they have now got DRP chasing us for £160 from the £60 original charge. Our driver got to the machine and was approached by someone who did not put enough on their ticket, so he took theirs and passed over £2.40. Clearly he felt he was doing someone a favour and no one was out of pocket as a result. His vehicle registration was not entered in the machine, resulting in a CCTV image and penalty being sent. A second occasion occured not long later when at a University car park, the driver paid for a ticket and stopped in a restricted area next to the uni building to offload a scaffold tower. He found a ticket shortly afterwards when returning to the van for his troubles from CPP in Chorley. We have since written to both companies who insist on these ever increasing charges stating we have no right to appeal and quote the Parking Eye v Beavis case. We recognise that a ticket may not be transferable and a restricted parking spot is not ideal, but no company suffered financially as a result. Just this justify these charges? We believe not. Would be interested to hear how we should best deal with these now if it is possible. Many thanks.
