a description of the issue:
Blossom St, York, Car Park,
the amount of money involved £160.00
any relevant dates: 27th July.
I parked behind the old cinema on Blossom St York,
bought a parking ticket for £1.50, which I though was for 2hours, didn't check the time on the ticket, as I was in a rush.
However I was 10 minutes late, the expiry time on the ticket was 11.51 and I got to the car around 12pm, I was therefore late.
I was there due to work commitment,
an exam at a local dental practise which over ran,
I was under the assumption that I had parking until after 12pm.
then 2 weeks later I received a PCN from Minster Baywatch LTD,
which under some advise I ignored,
however those letters have now accumulated and I received a letter from Gladstone Solicitors,
I have received a letter before claim- demanding £160. 00.
Has anyone else received anything of this nature, and will I be taken to court,
it seems really unfair, considering I was only 10 minutes late.
Please advise?
