Well basically I'll try explain my situation.

Parked at a carpark near my GF's says 24hours £5

I pay the £5 and purchase the ticket its at 4pm I believe i have from 4pm friday to 4pm saturday thats 24hours right?

I come back at about 13:30 and i have a parking ticket on my car saying i have gone over the time limit etc.


i didn't appeal and now i have the threatening court letter etc.


I'll put the layout of how the parking ticket i bought from the machine is which i believe is faulty also


PARKING TICKET
DAY .............. EXPIRY TIME
18/01/14............ 00:40

expiry date........... m/c identity
16:06............ 5.00
.....................FEE PAID

thats how the ticket is. I dont know why the expiry time is 00:40 if it says 24hours for £5.00 it does also say weekends 24hours £3.00 if that makes any difference?


Thank You in advance if you need any more information or a picture of the ticket i can try get that up on here.

I'm just not sure what to do. I'm not paying them the money of £100 because ive bought a ticket displayed it and followed all the terms of their carpark contract but i dont really want to go to court either so not sure what to do!


EDIT: Uploading a picture of the parking sign, the machine and my ticket.
