Private car parking fine

I rent a flat and as part of my tenancy agreement i also get a designated car parking space.

Last week, i left my car in its designated space but my parking permit fell off the dashboard into the footwell and i received a penalty notice for £60. I have contacted the company who adminstered the notice but they do not take "personal circumstances" into account.

does anyone have any advise as to how i can get them to drop this fine?

    Yes, ignore it, if it really is a private parking company. Because you have not been fined. And anyway, there IS no appeals procedure with a private parking company. Because they want your money.

    Which company is it?

    Dammit, sarahg1969 beat me to it again! :wave:

    Yeah, just ignore it, they'll leave you alone eventually...and to quote one of her earlier posts, it's not a fine, as only the courts can fine you, it's basically just an invoice they hope you'll pay.
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
