Daughter got a parking ticket in an NCP car park in January - not disputing this (she’s a F1 junior doctor and it’s the local car park next to hospital - she may have been late returning etc) . However, she didn’t receive any communication until July from BWLegal stating the case has been passed to them as no payment/no appeal.
Looking into it, NCP use DVLA to find address and this recorded slightly wrong, it says the house number is 8 not 18 - the problem is I bought the car in my name and gifted it to her on passing her test. Unfortunately I made a mistake on the V5 when transferring it to her name. I’ve started to correct this today by completing another form with the DVLA but it will take 4-8 weeks to process.
My daughter didn’t realise that she should have received the V5 and I didn’t think to check. Technically I am the seller and it was my responsibility to complete the form
It appears that it is too late to make an appeal with NCP and BWLegal state that it is her fault and has to pay £170 ( I guess this is because she should have been aware she needed the V5 - but she just assumed we had it).
Does anyone know if they do negotiate and is it worth taking any further action as she is happy to pay the original fine but feels that she has missed the opportunity of early payment and the excess would see her struggle
Thanks for any advice (1st time posting on the site)
