Shall I stick to the letter templates then when they mail me? The first letter about driver may be an issue. Whats the next best letter to use as a first response?

It is very important for you to tell us whether this is a council run car park or private covered by a PPC. Who is the ticket issued by?

 

Edit

As you say you have to pay in 7 days that clearly implies it is a PPC junk mail invoice. (as council would give you 14 days recduced charge and 28 days to pay full)

 

You still should confirm abslutely for us.

It was issued by Vehicle Control Services Ltd, absolutely not council owned. I believe the land owner contracts VCS to monitor the car park to ensure there is no "illegal" parking.

Of course I doubt it cost £80 a day for a permit

Hope this helps?

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
