Hi, hopefully someone can give me some advice on this.
My mother works at the local hospital and has done for 20+ years.
The hospital charge staff £1 per day to park as long as they have a staff permit displayed in the vehicle. (Charging staff to park is disgusting to begin with).
On the day in question, she forgot to pay the £1 charge, but did have the staff permit clearly displayed.
She has been given a £70 charge ticket. This wasn't on the vehicle when she returned to it and has now received a notice to keeper in the post. The photographs they have taken show the ticket was affixed to the windscreen, but obviously went walkabouts in the time it took her to get back to the car.
The notice to owner states all the normal stuff, but quotes the protection of freedoms act 2012 many times. I have had a quick read of this act and it seems as though the company have the right to recover any unpaid parking charges from the keeper of the vehicle. Does this not mean that they have the right to recover the £1 parking charge from the day in question?
Any advice would be appreciated.
