Help with NCP at train station / parking charge

[nigelmac]

Hi guys,

 

you were amazingly helpful in the past, so thought I would try you all again. Been doing lots of reading on the forum, but to be honest, just confusing myself.

 

I parked at Newport train station, rushed for my train and forgot about paying for parking (usually do it via their app).

 

remembered about 2-3pm so though "bugger, probably too late now" so paid it.

 

Came back from London at 7pm with a parking ticket.

 

The irony is that the ticket was timed for about 10 minutes before I paid for it online.

 

I wrote a letter (probably against all your advice now lol) to them explaining all this and how I have paid the other 8 times I have used the parking,

and how I did pay, but 10 minutes too late.

 

received their "thanks but no thanks letter"

 

 

 

What should I do now? pay the speculative invoice or appeal or ignore???

 

 

 

 

 

Please find attached the letter if anyone wants to read and help me out !!

 

 

One of the funniest bits is, I am a guy !! Idiots

 

 

thanks in advance guys

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

I recommend that you remove your surname and the reference number from your posted document.

 

My best, HB

Railway land is a peculiar thing as it is not "relevant land" under the PoFA so NCP have no claim. The railway company ban use byelaw 14 or 15 to press a claim but that is in a criminal court so no-one gets any money and they hate that so they hope you will pay up.

Did you get a POPLA code? If so then appeal to POPLA on the grounds of land not "relevant land" for PoFA and no contract can be formed as other law covers the position
