parking ticket

chidgey

I am writing with regard to a parking fine I received yesterday namely November 05 2014. it informs me that I am liable tp pay a parking fine for the date October 9th 2014. It was on that day that I went upto Birmingham to pick my son, daughter in law and grandchildren up from the aiport after spending 2 weeks with family. on entering the airport and driving up I was unsure where exactly I was to pick them up and was getting rather anxious after travelling from south wales and not knowing the aiport well so I pulled over to get my bearings whilst trying to phone my son knowing he had landed and was somewhere in the airport. even though I did not leave the car, I was informed by the company that I was parked on side of road for 3minutes and did not leave my car in that time. what are my legal standings? thanks.the penalty if for £100

Start by reading the Newbies Sticky carefully - It outlines your situation and the various options for seeing them off.

And I bet it mentions neither a penalty or a fine!

How did you miss the 'NEWBIES Please read these FAQs first!' sticky thread? It's 2nd to top of page one of the forum IN CAPITAL LETTERS where you just arrived before you clicked 'new thread'. You did that...without reading any posts at all first, it seems?

Welcome to MSE by the way - we WILL help you and we want to help. I know you are probably not forum savvy but (as an analogy) wouldn't you read a newspaper article before posting a comment on it? ...same thing here. The top threads tell all, then you can ask here in a reply, where you need further help (and we WILL help but cannot do this from scratch for people who just shout 'help - but I haven't read anything here'.
