Unfair parking ticket.

Last month i bought a chrome towel rail for the bathroom which needed valves. So my wife had an opticians apointment which was near the local DIY store. So we parked at the store as i was going to go in there after the apointment to get the valves. However on returning i had a parking ticket notice on the window. I of course went into the store and asked to speak to the manager. I got told that the parking was managed by a private company and then got a load of slaver from the manager on how i would say that i was going to use the store once i got the ticke! I was furious so tore the ticket up there and then. 30 days later i get a notice through the door saying that they have upped the ticket from £60 to £85 and if i fail to pay this it goes up to £135 then im taken to court and a bayliff may be sent round. What can i do? Any advice anyone? Does it matter that they got the simple detail of the car coulour on the ticket and letter wrong? And they have only given me 7 days to pay up!

Do a search on here. The same question gets asked about 20 times a day and the answer is always the same

....which is if it is a ticket from a private company, then it is not enforceable and you don't have to pay. They will chase and threaten you for a while, but eventually they will give up and go away.0

I've moved this thread to the 'Parking Fines, Tickets and Parking' Board
Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].0 -
I've had a ticket binned before because the colour was wrong - Mind you, it was so wrong that you did have to wonder if they were even looking at the car, not a minor difference in description/perception foe to poor light/dirt/manufacturers name etc.
That would not usually qualify.0
