London Parking Solutions - PCN through post

Hello again Mystery1

After your help last year appealing against a PCN I have been stupid enough to get another. Different car park this time but same outcome. To cut a long story short I parked in an almost empty private car park @ 7.15pm - the signs clearly state payment is required between 8am til 8pm. This car park is a small car park pretty much within / adjacent a very large empty council car park. I assumed it was part of the council car park which does not charge for parking after 6.30pm so when I got back to the car, to my surprise, found a ticket £60 early payment up to £100 !!!! (Note a fine for parking in the adjacent council car park would be £25 up to £50)

I have already appealed based solely on the charge being `penal & not a genuine pre-estimate of loss' and asked for a popla code. They have rejected the appeal and instead of issuing a popla code they told me to appeal to the IAS.

I still have the option to pay the reduced fee / FINE of £60 should I pay within the next week.

Are the IAS the same as popla and worth making an appeal to ?

To be honest, had the fine been £25, similar to the adjacent council car park (which was free anyway at the time of parking) I would have paid it to save the hassle !!! £60 is taking the ....

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,



I have received a Parking Fine for allegedly parking in an area where there was "No Parking allowed at any time", and apparently a parking notice was placed on my vehicle. The company issuing the fine is "London Parking Solutions".



I've read into a few threads of the web about the company, and it sounds like they are one of these joke companies that try to scare people into paying for something they don't owe.



I was in the vehicle at all times, parked outside of the area where no parking was allowed. Being in the vehicle at all times, I'm sure I would have noticed if someone put a PCN on my vehicle, however there wasn't anyone about.



Accordingly, I've now received a letter demanding that I pay £100.



I have appealed the notice, and have mentioned the above, and have asked for proof that a notice was put on my vehicle, however I'm yet to hear anything back.



I have checked this company on the British Parking Association website, and they do not appear.



Have I done everything correctly? Are there any points I need to consider?



Any help, advice or support would be brilliant.



Cheers,



Jamie.
