What about when you complained to the Manager? Then the Head Office of the Hotel Chain?
You need to get this cancelled by the Hotel, sharpish.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Hi,
I contacted the hotel and they have tried to cancel the charge. They received a response which they forwarded to me saying that due to the fact it has gone to POPLA and costs have been incurred by PE they will not cancel the charge.
I am lost at what to do now.0 -
OK, the next suggestion was:Then the Head Office of the Hotel Chain0

Hhmmmm received an email from PE offering a !!!8220;gesture of goodwill!!!8221; they will reduce the penalty charge notice if paid within 14 days.0

It is not a penalty, it is an invoice for the damage you have caused them for breaching your contract with them. Damage which a judge is likely to consider de minimus
As a gesture of goodwill refer them to Arkell v Pressdram.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -

It is NOT a penalty charge. If they used those words (which I doubt) then it is not saved by Beavis.
They are starting to wobble, probably because they realise they will lose in court (if properly defended.)
Write back to PE with a drop hands offer. It has cost you X amount of time and money to defend this. Tell them that you will get £95 in costs from them at court when you win so it is in their interest to drop this now and incur no more costs.
Be forceful, and state you have the might of MSE behind you, and you know you will win in court.
What did your MP say?
Do you have friends or family who can leave negative feedback on the hotel's Fakebook page, and add further negative feedback on Trapadvisor?I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.

A suggestion would be pay the £60 then send a LBC to the Hotel Head Office, and sue them for it back.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Alternatively, send the LBC now stating that you need this money to pay the scammers because of the hotel's nincompooptiveness.
Why does spell check think that last word is an error?I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.All my screwdrivers are cordless."You're Safety Is My Primary Concern Dear" - Laks0
