Parking Charge Notice (PCN)
A Parking Charge Notice (PCN) may be issued to a vehicle that has breached any of the terms conditions of the car park which are displayed prominently throughout every one of our sites. for example, failure to display a valid permit, have a valid paid for session, not exited the site within the allocated period, misuse of a disabled or parent/child bay. If the PCN is not paid within a specified time then we are legally entitled to request, from the DVLA, the registered keeper’s details, allowing us to enforce, through the courts if necessary, the outstanding charge. Due to recent changes in the Freedom of Protection Act (2012 England and Wales) registered keepers can be made liable for parking charge notices and associated costs through civil action.
PCC parking operatives use hand-held terminals to input or scan vehicle registration numbers and also take photographic evidence to support the issued PCN. The PCN system acts a deterrent and ensures drivers adhere to the terms and conditions of the car park.
ANPR: Automatic Number Plate Recognition
Parking Charge Collections Ltd uses the latest ANPR technology for the management of your car park. ANPR technology is a CCTV based system that uses infra-red cameras to read vehicles registration numbers and capture images of the vehicle. The system works day and night, in most weather conditions.
Pay By Phone: Cashless Parking System
This secure and fast system enables the customer to pay for parking by credit / debit card, mobile phone or landline and supplying the location of the car park and the time slot required. Drivers may opt to be reminded [by text message] that the allocated time is about to expire, so that a further purchase can be made without returning to their vehicle. Drivers can choose to pay for parking whilst on site or in advance. The parking transaction can then be viewed online and printed. This payment method removes the necessity for cash or the need to display a parking ticket in the car, as our CCP patrol officers will recognise the mobile phone payment via a handheld device.
Pay & Display
We supply modern, solar or mains powered Pay & Display equipment enabling production of tickets, audit facilities and statistical data and unrestricted vehicular entrance. Payment can be made by cash, credit / debit card, phone, smart card or value card. Payments can be made in advance or on the day. Payments may also be refunded [subject to a minimum spend in selected retailer’s stores]. We provide signage displaying tariff details, terms and conditions and information. We can also provide management services including highly trained, uniformed patrol officers to supervise and maintain the car park.
On-Street Parking Enforcement
On-Street Parking has usually been controlled by Local Authorities but over the last 10 years, Pay and Display terminals have been phased out in favour of Pay and Display systems such as, pay online, pay via an app, pay contactless etc. Under the Traffic Management Act 2004, all parking contraventions can be enforced by private contractors, acting on behalf of Local Authorities.
Parking Charge Collections Ltd provides a variety of services including Civil Enforcement Officers issuing Parking Charge Notices (PCN) to enforce contraventions.
Self Enforcement
Where costs to manage a site can be an issue or when the site has only a few spaces, Parking Charge Collections Ltd can provide all the necessary signage, Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) and notice processing facilities without the need for a monthly management fee. Parking Charge Collections Ltd will arrange for one of our operatives to train an individual(s) on the correct procedure for issuing a PCN. The client arranges for this staff member(s) or Security staff to self-monitor their own spaces and enforce them by way of issuing a Parking Charge Notice.
