hi all
i need advice on who to contact to get my issue resolved
it all started with a parking which i thought was wrongly issued,
i had parked on a street in front of a ticket machine that was faulty
i walk round the corner to the next machine about twenty yards away,
i bought a ticket and displayed it in the car and left to go to a jobs fair,
on my return which was within the allotted time i found i had been issued a penalty charge notice ,
i emailed the address on the parking ticket explaining what had happened and that i thought that the ticket had been unfairly issued,
i didn't receive a reply from nottingham parking authority so i assumed the explanation had been excepted ,
about six months later i am now receiving letters from equita stating that a notice of enforcement had been issues to me and my case is being prepared for enforcement action.
i have have no letter from nottingham city council or equita prior to this,
they are looking for 83 pounds for the debt and 75 pounds for the compliance fee making a total of 158 pounds.
who should i be contacting nottingham city council or equita or anybody else,
as i have already paid for a ticket to park i have no intention of paying any fines.
p.s. I still have the ticket that i bought and a copy of the email i sent the parking authority.
