My little brother got a parking ticket attached to his screen the other day. He turned up to the gym as usual, parked, signed his reg onto the list and carried on with his workout. Came outside and had a parking ticket as he had "Breached the terms and conditions of the car park". Went back into the gym and queried it and a member of staff said - don't worry he would sort it with the parking company. This was Friday at 12ish.
Came home and spoke to me that evening, and I asked if he had anything to confirm that this was cancelled. He said no. Went to the gym with him and checked with a member of staff who found the ticket on the wall and said it had been done. Asked for a photocopy of the gym membership and a printout of his membership log which shows his pin being used to enter the building and exited. He cant get in or out of the building so would have known on this system if he left and went elsewhere and proves he was in the building when the ticket he was in.
I sent the PPC a quick email to check if the ticket was cancelled as per the gym's instructions and they replied no he would need to appeal.
Which brings me on to my question. Is it down to the PPC to prove he was in "breach of contract" or him to prove his innocence? Surely if they wont to allege something they need to have evidence to prove it?
Thanks

What T or C did he breach? Was he not in a marked bay, parked in a disabled bay without displaying a badge etc.? The PPC should have photographic evidence.

"Breached the terms and conditions of the car park" is far too vague.
Specifics are needed before any practical assistance can be provided.
OP, head over to those other places.
All you are likely to get on here going forward is a lot of hot air.
As numerous previous threads on this topic have demonstrated.
