Is there anyone in Plymouth who could do me a favour to help me contest a horribly unfair parking fine

I am currently disputing a parking fine and my initial appeal has been rejected, so now I'm a POPLA stage. I went into the carpark in question and spent 50 minutes queueing then had to come out as there was no space. I was photographed going in and out.

I have no evidence of the queue unfortunately, but looking on the POPLA website it seems the wording on the sign about cameras being in operation could be crucial. As far as I'm concerned, the carpark should have had a 'full' sign on and entry should have been restricted. That's what happens around here but had I known about the cameras maybe one of my dc could have jumped out to buy the cheapest ticket before we left. Not sure why we should have had to though, but hey...

Anyway, I live 4 hours away so would be eternally grateful if anyone could take and post here a pic of the notice in the link below. I've tried zooming in on that link but still can't read it. The company have also sent me a photo of it but again the wording can't be read, yet on other pictures they've sent about parking fees they have zoomed right in and they can be read, so I wonder if they know that notice isn't adequate.

Anyway, probably a longshot but if anyone could help I would appreciate it so much Thanks.

Bump. I'm not local but that sounds terribly unfair

Another bump for you.

Have you tried googling the car park name? If others were affected it might have been picked up by local news

It seems they have form for this...

I'll be there within the next few days. Happy to help if no one is there beforehand. Is it just the sign at the entrance that you are after?

theduchessstill · 11/11/2018 20:52

Thanks everyone - I appreciate the bumps! Someone has pm'd me offering to do it tomorrow so think I'm fine now. Off to look at your link now *oops^ Thanks.

Here you are! Let me know if these aren't what you need. Sutton Harbour Holdings have a crap reputation in Plymouth- I think they own the car park.

We got fined by that lot too, even though we'd paid for parking. We're also about 4 hours away so there was a limit to what we could do to contest it.

They're bastards - hope you win!

Thank you so much, they're perfect! Such a relief to have a photo now Flowers Cake Wine

Fingers crossed it works, they seem to have a terrible reputation!
