Smart Parking Ltd ANPR PCN - Oakland Quay London E14

[Nicky Boy]

Thanks for the screenshots of signs. I did go looking on Streetview, but like you say it's like a rabbit warren.

The first thing to note is that their sign is simply prohibitive. "Permit holders only".

"Permit holders only" for what? walking past the sign? driving past the sign? dancing? fishing?

IF the idiots ever try court, they would be using contract law. There is no contract on their signage.

Anyway, despite any of that, you were never parked, you were delivering. Presumably, you could easily obtain a statement from your friend confirming that if it were ever needed...

The other sign you refer to about "PCN's cannot be dealt with on site" is just waffle.

In some other cases on CAG, the victims have been advised to contact retailers, shops, takeaways, etc and ask for the PCN to be cancelled.

It sometimes works... but not applicable in your situation anyway.

Just be ready for a stream of ever more threatening correspondence, which you can ignore.

But as already said DON'T ignore a "letter of claim".

You can do yourself a favour by reading around the forum to acquaint yourself with the usual shenanigans the fleecers get up to.
