Parking fines - 02/09/2015 12:05
After some advice from you good people.
I visited my local pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap sports retailer the other week, paid at the machine for parking, went into the shop, bought some cheap sporty tat then left.
I now have a parking demand from the company that monitors the car park, the usual £45 if you pay now or £90 if later plus whatever extra fees we add and we'll take you to court etc letters. I distinctly remember paying as they have a new fangled machine that requires your registration number and I had to ask my daughter to move out of the way of the car boot so I could check my registration.
I remember reading that the oft quoted on peepipo "just ignore them all" doesn't work nowadays as people have lost cases trying that defence.
I can provide witnesses of me paying and also evidence of what was spent in the shop if that's relevant (it obviously won't be to the car parking company but may be to the sports shop whose car park it is). Any ideas on how to get them to bog off?
