Britannia Parking Charge Cancelled. Signage and POFA Defects

Britannia Parking PCN Cancelled. 3 Defects Found

A motorist received a parking charge from Britannia Parking after parking at a private estate. The charge was 100 pounds. They used Parking Mate AI to check the notice.

What Parking Mate AI Found

  1. Inadequate Signage The car park had one small sign at the entrance that was partially obscured by a neighbouring fence. The terms were printed in small text on a dark background, making them difficult to read.
  1. Late NTK The Notice to Keeper arrived 17 days after the contravention, 3 days outside the POFA 14-day deadline.
  1. No Parking Period on Notice The notice stated the date but not the time or duration of the alleged parking event.

The Result

Britannia Parking cancelled the charge after receiving the tailored appeal letter.
