We used the car park at Broomfield hospital today. When my husband went to pay, the meter was being emptied. The chap said he would take the details and he keyed them into his phone then said OK that is your ticket for the day.

 

When we returned to the car a fine had been issued.

We couldn't find any one to discuss this with.

 

The fine was issued by Gemini parking solutions 

 Please can you offer any advice. Thank you

I've moved your thread to the Private Land Parking Enforcement forum.

 

BTW, it's not a fine, it's an invoice from a private company.

We could do with some help from you.

What happens then please as it is obviously after the 14 day period for payment at the lower rate. Also do you recommend that we contact the company direct to tell them what their staff are doing. Thank you. Your help is appreciated.

no you don't, you don't owe anything discounted or not, or even when it gets the unicorn food tax added.

You've seen that this company are complete con artists.  There's no point in writing to them or appealing.  In fact you'd probably make things worse.

 

What could be a lot more effective would be to write to the hospital.  Explain what happened and demand they tell the fleecers to cancel.

We could do with some help from you.

You can read other threads to see what people do after a NTK appears, we've seen it loads of times. It's not scary, we know what to do. They're not the police.

 

But as FTMDave says, the best thing is to write to the hospital and get them to tell the people they've put in to monitor parking to cancel this ticket.

Thanks that is reassuring. Do you have any idea who I should address a letter to at the hospital. I have emailed the PALs but not had any response yet. Not sure if they are the correct people to deal with. Thank you for your help.

I can't post links from my phone but do a search on CAG for other threads about this hospital. Type the name into the search box at the top of this page, in the red strip. 

 

At least one person got the charge cancelled.

Thanks to your advice I contacted the hospital and the notice has been cancelled. They claimed the message was sent to place us on the exemption list but due to signal issues it was not added resulting in the ticket. 

It has been confirmed as cancelled. Thanks again.

Brilliant, well done. :)  I'll alter your thread title to show your success.

 

Could you tell us a bit more about which department you contacted please? This could really help someone else with the same problem.

I just addressed my letter to the hospital but it was dealt with by Robert Rutty.  car parking admin support Estates and facilities management directorate. I have an email address if it is OK to include that here.

Well done on your victory!  👏

 

Yes, please post the e-mail address, as HB says it could help someone else in the future.

 

Keep proof of the charge being cancelled, just in case Gemini "forget" to rip it up.

We could do with some help from you.
