Received reminder for parking ticket i never received

typhoon101

Hi. earlier this week, i received a letter from NCP stating that I had previously received a parking ticket and had not paid the fine in the allocated time. I never actually received any parking ticket. I have logged onto the NCP website and looked up my details, and sure enough there are four photos of my car with the ticket attached to the windscreen. I therefore am not denying the ticket being issued, but as i said, it was not on my screen when I returned to my car. I can only assume the ticket was maliciously removed by someone else.

I now have been instructed to pay the full fine, not the reduced fine i could have paid if i had paid within 14 days. I have not yet appealed the case with NCP as I wanted to know where i stood with this. Is this something I can avoid paying?

Thanks

Bear in mind that the putative malicious parking ticket remover could well be the parking company itself.

A known scam to get you to stump up the higher charge I'm afraid!
