Parking Ticket Advice please

Greenwellies_2

Wow so many responses today!

I'm in the office so I don't have all the details to hand.
They have got my details from DVLA (actually hubby's because it's his car)

They claim to have signed up with the DVLA code of conduct.
The company is City Parking Enforcements Limited

I think that covers all the bits asked, if not, sorry!

Thanks for the responses

The details they have are for the registered keeper of the vehicle not necessarily the driver.
Reply back to them stating that you are the registered keeper and was not the driver, so you had no contract with them. Please contact the driver.
Any more letters to (yourself) will be regarded as "demanding monies with menaces" and "harrassment" and that you will take appropriate action if it continues.

in any case even if you had come in at 9.00 and left at 10.33 this is still in breach as its 3 mins over an hour and a half.

surely you arrived in the car park at 9:05?

i would write to them saying that you arrived at 9:05 and left at 10:33 - enclose your receipt if you've got it to show you were actually shopping there and tell them that you have a dodgy leg and can't walk very fast!

lay it on thick how dissapointed you are to receive this fine and that you have always been a good customer of theirs etc etc and say that you don't believe you were there more than 1 hour and a half.

Apart from the fact that they claim to have photo's of the time I arrived etc, I can't see the point of disputing the time.

If I had genuinly parked there just to get a freebie then I would have held my hands up, but I did shop in there and I had to wait for the store to open.

Thanks

I think I will go back and check their signs (not in the same car!!) if it does say driver then I will think about taking that stance.

BTW, I once got a parking ticket for being 3 mins late on a meter. I wrote to the council to appealed against it on the grounds that someone parked on the yellow line behind me and spoke to the warden and they agreed that he could leave the car there without paying or a fine.

Letters went back and forth to the council. they said it still stood. When the official letter came in the post there was a typo on my name, so I just sent it back not known at this address. No more was ever done!

I got a letter on Friday to say that the company had cancelled the fine.

So I would certainly suggest to anyone that they try writing to them 1st.

Thanks everyone
