My apologies for not replying to all who replied to my post, I have not been able to log onto the site until today. The 'charge notice' arrived at my home address on the morning of 3/04/2014. The incident was on 19/03/2014 and the charge notice was dated 31/03/2014 and posted second class. The notice arrived 15 days from the date of the incident. Is that relevant? I want to thank all who replied and I will be appealing against the Charge Notice based on the very clear advice given. Thanks again for all your help.

My wife parked a vehicle registered in my name in a private car park serving 6 shops including Dunhelm, she visited Dunhelm for a short while, approximately 20 minutes or so whilst the staff tried to sort out an order she had placed for collection. The goods had apparently not been received at the store and she left. Her car had been pushed sideways into another vehicle and there was a note on the front of the other vehicle saying she had witnessed the incident. Considering that the car park is flat and the hand brake was on and the car was no longer pointing in a straight direction but at an angle of about 40 degrees and there was paint damage and a small dent to the rear passenger panel behind the rear wheel on my wife's car it was fairly obvious that her car had been hit and pushed into the other car. My wife was extremely upset and tried to find the owner of the other car into which her car had been pushed. She returned to Dunhelm and staff there gave her a cup of tea whilst the other car owner was looked for. My wife eventually phoned me and I drove 12 miles from our house to the shop. I took photographs and also phoned the police who would not attend as no one was hurt and it was on private property. I phoned our insurance company who took statements over the phone and we also gave them the name of the witness who had also left her phone number. As my wife was extremely upset and was concerned that the driver of the car that her vehicle had been pushed into should be told what had happened I told her to take my car and I would wait for the other driver to return. This took quite some time. I, as the registered owner, have today received a charge notice from Total Parking Solutions. Do I have to pay this. The incident occurred about two weeks ago. To make matters worse the insurance company phoned the witness who stated that she saw my wife's car roll into the other car. As noted before it would have been impossible for the car to have rolled a total of 14 feet gathering momentum and also swinging to the left at an angle of 40 degrees causing damage to the front of the other car at an area beyond where the two cars were touching.
