MobileB Â Â 10 #711 Posted May 6, 2015 Not really. Just to play devils advocate, the signage states Maximum Stay 2 hours, No return within 5 hours. It doesn't say you have 2 hours stay within a 5 hour period. So even if you have only gone in for 10 minutes, the signage states that you cannot return for 5 hours. They're the operators; it is their terms for you parking there. You don't HAVE to park and shop there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You don't HAVE to park and shop there.  That could be interpreted two ways.  It could mean that it doesn't matter how long you are there for, any visits must be separated by a period longer than 5 hours.  Or it could mean that that the two hours resets to zero after a 5 hour gap.

But it is maximum stay so anything up to two hours is allowed and then resets to zero after 5 hours is how I would interpret it.

brompton   10 #714 Posted May 12, 2015 I've had my PCN appeal rejected. Is it worth pursuing POPLA now since recent court judgement on 23rd April? And who'd you recommend to do this on my behalf? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
showers   10 #715 Posted May 15, 2015 Help!!!! So I have received a contractual parking notice for parking in meadowhall retail park from a company called G24 Ltd. I have ignored this and I have received a final notice informing me that if I don't pay up the £50 they will pass it on to a debt collection agency. I am so angry at getting this as in my eyes I have done nothing wrong apart from have dinner and look around quite a few of the shops. We then went and had a coffee in McDonald's. I haven't appealed as I've been told to ignore it as it's an invoice and not a proper parking fine but after reading various comments on here I'm not sure what to do as now I've got the final notice I'm not allowed to appeal. Any advice would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And the debt collectors letter is nothing more than them trying the next trick up there sleeve. Unless you get an official letter from a court saying you must come and stand in front of a judge then just bin everything. Don't even open them.  I would be highly surprised if it came to that. If it does then either plead your case and hope to win or pay. until then keep your pennies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
andy-c   10 #720 Posted May 18, 2015 Hi,  I got a ticket from VCS at Centertainment back in 2010/2011. I ignored the leters as was recommended back then and after a while (and using various aliases/debt recover/solicitors etc) they gave up, not heard anything for a few years now.  Out of the blue I have received a letter from Rossendale Debt recovery asking for £100 on behalf of VCS. No reference to reg, date or location of the transgression.  Should I just ignore or have the rules changed and can be applied to 'historic' tickets like mine?  Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
