Thanks for the reply barnsley Boy, ill wait for their letter. Mike

Thanks for the quick reply Michael, I have read through the advise paper but am still unsure as to exactly which points to stress and what action to take next? Would it be that there was no loss of revenue from my parking? Something I forgot to add was that on the ticket there is a section with: Tick □Without valid permit or authority! □Out of marked bay □On a yellow box section! □Beyond a stipulated time limit! □In a disabled bay with no badge displayed! The tick is over the writing tick, and not on any of the boxes, so is unclear as to which reason is being given for the issue. edit: Just saw your post Barnsley Boy, again thanks alot for the reply! Yes it was in Leeds. Should I write to them or wait for action at their end first? Mike

Hi, I came across this site whilst I was looking for information and it seems very helpful! I was hoping someone could advise me as what to do regarding a private parking ticket I received on the 24th. I saw a row of cars parked without tickets so I parked behind one of them, it was late (about 9:15) so dark and I didn't see a double yellow line. I came back at around midnight to find a parking notice for £75! Unfortunately I didn't take a good look around at the time, but when I returned to the road today part of the double yellow line is invisable under a huge puddle of water, and some is covered with differing amounts of leaves. There are two signs stating private parking HOWEVER these signs are in a different area which is clearly private land, no other signs regarding the road parking for evident. I am a student so cannot afford a solicitor and am very short for cash so £75 would be a huge hit for me! On the ticket it also said if I failed to pay within 10 days £3 would be added every day. I have not responded yet. Do I have a case? Many thanks, Mike
