VCS pcn - liverpool airport - no stopping

[saw25]

Hi Guys. heres my case. Im not sure what to do. Just pay the £60?

1st got a PCN as Id pulled in (not blocking the road)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i appealed via myparkingcharge.co.uk as requested on the back of the VCS letter.....

To whom it may concern.

 

I have received a "PCN"

I am appealing against this as I had to stop my car as I had airport car park booking and was looking for the car park and thought that it was where I stopped.

 

You can check our booking if you email airportparking

The booking reference and details are below.

Dear ....,

Re: Parking Charge Notice Number ..... (Vehicle: ....)

Site: Liverpool John Lennon Airport

Issue date: 23/05/2017

We refer to your appeal in respect of the above Charge Notice received on 06/06/2017.

 

Having considered the points you have raised and reviewed our records, we are unable to accept your appeal.

 

 

Our main reason(s) for this decision are as follows:

Whilst we understand your concern at receiving a Notice, it is entirely the motorist's responsibility to ensure that they adhere to the Terms and Conditions of use for the airports private access roads.

 

 

The roadway in question is part of a high security zone and as such motorists are clearly advised not to park, stop or wait on double yellow lines, red routes zones or roadways at any time.

Such actions may also pose an obstruction or danger to other road users.

 

There are numerous warning signs in place along the private access roads.

 

In response to your comments, you have confirmed to us that on the date in question, you stopped your vehicle in a prohibited area while looking for the car park.

Whilst we appreciate the circumstances you have described

however, you stopped in an area where you could have caused obstruction to other drivers.

Please be advised that our signage located throughout the area clearly state

"No Stopping at Any Time".

 

 

It is the motorist's responsibility to ensure that he/she is fully aware and compliant with the Terms and Conditions of this area.

 

We must advise that there are over 70 high profile signs advising drivers of the consequences of not complying with the highway restrictions located throughout the 'Red Route' areas.

 

 

All signage exceeds the recognised industry standards, with some as large as 2m by 1.1m (6ft 6in by 3ft 7in) on the airport approach road and other surrounding roads. Signs also contain the nationally recognised Highway Code symbol for 'NO STOPPING' (Clearway).

 

Furthermore, the signage on the approach road is reflective and positioned to face oncoming motorists and the text size is relative to the average approach speed of vehicles, which is 30 mph.

 

We are satisfied that the Charge Notice has been issued correctly and your appeal (representations) is therefore rejected.

 

 

We will not accept any further appeals.

 

17 June 2017

What you should do next - Either:

1. Pay the Charge Notice: In order to settle the Charge, the payment of £60 to reach us by 01/07/2017 or £100 to reach us by 15/07/2017 must be made.

Failure to pay this charge within the stated times, may result in Debt Recovery Action being taken and further costs up to an additional £60 being incurred.

 

Payments can be made online at myparkingcharge.co.uk by following the links for "Pay Now", or over the

phone by calling 0845 226 9138 by using a valid Credit or Debit Card.

(If paying by Credit Card a surcharge of £1.00 will apply).

OR:

2. Appeal to the Independent Appeals Services (IAS):If you believe this decision is incorrect, you are entitled to appeal to the IAS. In order to appeal, the IAS will need the following information

(which is also contained in the subject header of this correspondence).

Notice Serial No: ....

Vehicle Registration Mark: ....

 

Appeals must be submitted to the IAS within 21 days of the date of this correspondence.

Please visit the ias website for full details on how to submit an appeal online.

 

It is important you note that if you wish to appeal to the IAS and your appeal is unsuccessful, the discount offer will no longer apply and the full amount of £100 will be pursued.

Please be aware that if a payment is made against the PCN prior to lodging an appeal with the IAS, or receiving adjudication from the IAS, and if it is accepted as Full and Final settlement of the PCN, any appeal to the IAS will automatically be dismissed.

 

It important I also highlight that no further appeals will be accepted at this office; any such appeal must be made to the IAS.

 

Please also note that further costs may be incurred should it be necessary for us to subsequently recover any outstanding charge using debt recovery and/or court action.

 

Yours sincerely,

Appeals Administration Team

CENTRAL PROCESSING OFFICE.

shame you didn't come here FIRST

 

you've shot yourself in the foot by stating who the driver was.

 

plenty of other no stopping VCS threadshnere for that airport

go read them

no you don't pay them..

 

signs, road marking, speed limits mean nowt on private land.

[ericsbrother]

you have scored 2 own goals but that is not the end of the matter,

 

VCS have no right to demand anything as the land is not "relevant land" under the POFA and is covered by its own byelaws and they are nowt to do with these bandits.

 

Ignore them, their dca and come back here when Gladstones Solicitors or BW legal start writing scary letters.

 

Dont appeal to the IAS,

do read a load of other material on parking at this site and private parking in general.

 

The parking prankster's blogspot has plenty of cases about this place so you would be wise to catch up and then you will realise that there is little to fear from these damands

[saw25]

thanks guys, so I dont appeal to IAS and just wait for the scary letters?

[dx100uk]

and laugh at them
