Parking fine worries!!

Michelle23490955

Hi, hoping someone can help me.

I work at a hospital and received a parking ticket on my car window when I finished work, I decided to ignore it as I pay for a parking pass through work.

I had received a couple of letters from ZZPS on behalf off indigo park services and ignored them.
On getting home from work today I have received a letter from Wright Hassall solicitors- formal letter of claim.
Threatening county court proceedings and CCJ.

Do I respond to this letter?
Can I appeal?

If you've been parking fine, then why the worries?

As for the ticket, have you contacted the Hospital? or you line manager?/facilities manager?
As you are staff i would assume you are familiar with the NHS principles on parking, also known as the NHS Patient, Visitor, and Staff car parking principles, and you have also reported this to your union ( combined with the parking principles) see here

Contracted-out car parking

NHS organisations are responsible for the actions of private contractors who run car parks on their behalf.
NHS organisations should act against rogue contractors in line with the relevant codes of practice6where applicable.
Contracts should not be let on any basis that incentivises additional charges, eg ‘income from parking charge notices only’.

being an NHS site, you should be able to get a full un redacted copy of the parking contract under the freedom of information act
