Parking tickets, fines & parking

Morning all, I've been getting letters from DCB for a while saying I owe them money, I've been putting them in a pile. The vehicle in question is mine, but I was not the driver at the time. DCB are saying insufficient time paid for, and only supplying a date, no time of entry/exit. I have now received a letter from the…

Back in early 2024 I parked at Euro Car Parks in Preston. I was there for 29 minutes and paid for an hour.

I appealed with the ticket, receipt…
