SMART PARKING FINE! Help!!!

I have received a Parking Charge Notice by SmartParking. They picked me up on their AMPR camera entering at 16:15 and leaving at 16:38. I was looking for a friend and didn’t stop my car and left the car park at 16:16. I then later entered the car park at 16:37 and left at 16:38 but the camera only picked up my first arrival and last departure. I ignored the first letter from SmartParking and have no received a letter from DebtRecoveryPlus. The charge has gone from £60 to £160. I have tried to speak to Smart Parking today and they have told me I don’t have an option to appeal the charge anymore!!
I have 2 days left until they add more money onto the charge!!!

:mad: :mad:

    Everyone is politely asked not to start a thread until after reading the newbies faq thread near the top of the forum


    Go there now to understand the game you are now caught up in.


    You are in the debt collectors stage (FAQ explains this)


    Come back if and when you get any court correspondence or LBCCA for advice on defending this at that time

    Sounds like you were double dipped by the ANPR
    Not unusual for Smart

    As said countless times on here ....

    IGNORE DRP, THEY ARE JUST TIMEWASTERS:rotfl::rotfl:

    DRP CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND THEY CANNOT
    INCREASE ANY CHARGE
    (although they are stupid enough to try)

    Maybe a few more drivel letters from DRP, that's ok,
    just let them waste their time

    If the infamous Smart come back to you, this forum
    will see them off for you

    IGNORE DRP:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
