Thanks very much ericsbrother, that’s really positive how you think I could possibly win this. I’m glad you sent a second post advising to send them a letter, as I would feel uneasy continuing to ignore from what I’ve read from other people. I have devised the below letter from your recommendations and I just wanted to ask you guys if you think this is acceptable and appropriate. Please feel free to add any or reword sentences, I have to admit I am quite clueless regarding breach of contract/DPA so you may be able to word it slightly better. Dear Sir/Madame, I am writing to give you an update of my current address as I believe you are sending correspondence regarding a parking charge to my previous address. I emailed you in August 2017 within a few days of receiving the parking charge, to defend my case which I still stand by. In addition, as no contract was formed no breach of contract could have possibly occurred. I received no reply to this correspondence and instead have recently came across a letter charging 206.00. I will vigorously defend any civil claim and seek costs and possible damages for your breach of the DPA. Yours sincerely

Hi all, More pictures in a pdf as requested. Hope this helps. Thanks, Jay jpg.pdf

Ok great cheers: So you want me to go back and take pictures? That’s fine. Will this help you with what to say in the letter of reply I guess? Anything else you want me to take a pic of while I’m there so I don’t have to go back? The black meter box and various other car park signs around the hospital? Thanks, Jay

i believe there is a picture of the tariff board from the car park that i sent? perhaps its too blurry you can't read? do you mean the black meter shown? i'm sure i can make out what it says just about regarding the prices.. what other pictures do you require? Any other different car park signs within that exact car park or within the hospital? that's reassuring though you think that no charges should apply

yes true i just wanted to clarify. I have been to the hospital this morning and taken pictures. Pictures 1-4 are from the public highway to the front entrance of the hospital. and pictures 5-11 are pictures from inside the hospital road to the entrance of the car park. Just to note on picture 6, the sign says: Car park for: MR scanner AandE Voluntary services post graduate medical centre It might be worth noting that I was actually on induction on the date of the ticket which was actually in the post graduate medical centre, so surely it could be forgiven for following this sign.. however the subsequent pictures 7-11 for the car park I parked in there is no mention of post graduate medical centre thanks, Jay convert-jpg-to.pdf

Thanks so much for your reply. i'm pretty sure the sign says something like MRI scanner patients only (which i'm not) and i'm also quite sure it is at the entrance to the car park and not obscured.. But I can go and take pictures of the wording on the sign tomorrow and also a pic showing the relationship between the sign and the entrance, if this is definitely needed? p.s. I am going on holiday this sunday for 1 week. the last letter said they will issue proceedings with county court if no reply within 30 days, would you worry about missing this? it has been going on for 9 months.. Jay

original charge of 70 + additional costs (in total 206). The letter states 'if we do not receive a reply within 30 days of this letter, we will be left with no alternative but to issue proceedings in the country court' - which basically means they will take me to court surely.. Thanks, Jay

yes sorry it was a ticket stuck to my car. The email is on my work email which i don't have access to anymore as it is onsite only accessible and I have left. Guess i could always go back and log in if it came to it.

Thanks so much for the speedy reply! 1 The date of infringement? 4/8/17 at 14.57 2 Have you yet appealed to the parking company yet? yes (i sent a short email the week following the ticket to the email on the ticket.

I am therefore emailing you to kindly ask if you could please revoke the charges made please? I have since had a hospital induction and know where to park and can assure you this won't happen again. has there been a response? No please post it up as well, suitably redacted.

Hello All, Apologies if this has already been covered, I have tried to read others responses but not sure sure if they apply to my specific case. I wonder if anyone can please help? In August 2017 on my first day at my new hospital where I started work (before hospital induction) I accidentally parked in a patient car park rather than a staff carpark. I received a parking charge of 35.00. The week after i emailed the email address from the ticket (unsure who exactly) defending my case. I never had a response. Subsequently over the last 9 months i have received various letters about this (which have been going to my old address) and the latest is from Civil Enforcement Ltd. stating the outstanding debt is 206.00 and i have 30 days from the date of this letter until they will issue proceedings with the county court. I would like this issue resolved as soon as possible obviously without me having to pay, as I do not think it is a fair penalty. I would very much appreciate if anyone could assist me/advise me in moving forward in terms of responses? Thanks very much, Jay
