Parking ticket for driving into a private carparkturning around and driving out!!!!!!

Whilst on holiday my husband, driving my car, drove into a private car park turned the car around and drove out. At no point did he park up in a parking space. Today we received a parking 'charge' for £60 if we pay now for unauthorised entry/parking. There was no sign saying no entry but there was a sign saying private parking. There are two pictures of the car one entering with a date and time and one leaving coincidentally with no date and time as they would see it wasn't long enough for us to park! How do we go about dealing with this? Is it best just to ignore it? Any advice welcomed.

Just ignore it, they have no legal right to issue a penalty to you which this is. It will never go to court as there is no loss, they will find it impossible to justify how they made a loss of £60 when you were gone in 60 seconds
Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?0 -
Thanks everyone. Bazter it was in Perranporth but the other post in not my hubby it must be someone stung in same way!!!!!0

I thought that Premier Parking had no DVLA access at the moment. Clicky.
How come they have got your data from the DVLA I wonder...maybe they have been let back in even though their signage was considered not compliant with the BPA Code of Practice.
What's the company number and address of the company, and the FULL name of the company?
Just wanting to find out how they got your data really! But ignore them!
Typical thoughts that newbies have in error, about these fake PCNs:
They think it's a real parking fine = WRONG.
They think because the DVLA release the registered keeper's data that the PPC must have some sort of authority = WRONG.
They think that because major retailers like Supermarkets use these firms that it 'can't be a scam' = WRONG.
They think that a debt collector can/will call round = WRONG.
They believe the empty threats in the 'debt collector' letters = WRONG.
They think that it may affect their credit rating = WRONG.
Just play snap with the letters, it's EASY. I am an ordinary wife and Mum with a responsible job and clean credit record and I have ignored 2 fake PCNs. I would very happily collect more and laughed when I got both of mine.
See my signature. Click once on the end of the blue breadcrumb trail >link>chain at the top of this page, on the words my signature mentions.
Look at the current forum and read the sticky thread second-from-top 'PPC letter chains'.
Watch the Watchdog clip linked on there and read the other links at the top. Check out the letter-chain pics so you both know what to expect = MORE LETTERS!
It's only junk mail, nothing more. No more bothersome than deleting a series of phishing emails, honestly.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
