hi dx100uk
r
the space is behind a train station and opposite a coop,
it has a paid for parking area to the right and around 10 spaces infront reserved for coop customers (which i am),
i work literally a stones throw away so just parked there thinking it was free
however on closer inspection its only free for 2.5 hours.
i had no idea ANPR operated so when i didnt get a ticket just thought id hit gold.
received 3 tickets now (1 a day) and by my maths ive parked there for 28 days in total.
Normal PCN £60 now or £100 after 14 days.
The main thing i can see so far is that (well at least the first 3) there all over the 14 days period required to notify the keeper?
i have in my panic last night sent an appeal see below -
Dear Sir
Ref PCN xxxxxx
This is not an appeal
I have received your letter dated xxxxxxx that purports to be a Notice to Keeper
You were fully aware when you sent it that you had failed to meet the clearly stated conditions of the Protection of Freedoms Act with it being sent 30 days after the stated act
I have no obligation to identify the driver and you have no right to pursue me as keeper
As I have no liability, I will not waste my time appealing the notice
I have, however, acted reasonably by engaging with your company
Don't contact me again.
My position is final and I will not reply
have i done the right thing?
