Hi all,
First time fined and first time poster.
Basically was doing some temporary work for a firm in a Midlands city who use a separate car park where (I assume) they pay for permits. I was given one of these for my duration fo work.
Forgot to move it from the slot under the radio where I store it, to the dash to display it clearly. Remembered around lunch but it was too late, bang £80 fine.
Now I assume it does not cost £80 a day to own a permit for this car park therefore I believe it comes under the Unfair Terms And Conditions In Consumer Contracts Regulations.
Am I in the right to ignore it and then use the templates when they send mail to inform me of the increased fine. I have to pay within 7 days.
Regards,
Jester
