I received a parking charge notice while working as a delivery driver in a designated "LOADING AND UNLOADING ONLY" zone. Despite the clear purpose of the area, the company enforced a fee based solely on automatic number plate recognition timestamps, disregarding the essential work being performed. Key issues in my dispute include: Unfair Contract: The signage imposed an unreasonable "20 Minute Maximum Stay" for a task (multi-parcel delivery) that requires more time, creating a punitive penalty rather than a legitimate charge. Lack of Evidence: The company admitted to having no photographic proof of the alleged violation—only entry and exit times. They proceeded with the charge despite my evidence that the vehicle was actively loading/unloading throughout. Attempt to Enforce Hidden Terms: They attempted to shift liability to an external system not advertised on the signage, which is unacceptable. Breach of Standards: The sign stated, "No Grace Period Applies," violating industry code requirements. Their enforcement model prioritizes revenue maximization through strict, unreasonable limits over facilitating necessary commercial access. I strongly urge all drivers to contest their charges and not succumb to their aggressive tactics.
