Help with parking fine from HORIZON PARKING

Hi there,

I have read the sticky post however I am struggling to understand what my best option is at this point.

I have now received my second letter from DRP about a parking charge I received from Horizon Parking Ltd. on the 27/09/2017 in a Sainsburys' car park stating a reduced fine offer of £127.50 down from £150. It has gone past the date at which I can respond to this offer (22/02/2018) and the letter advises that they will be going back to the issuer so they can consider court action.

I understand not to reply to DRP as they cannot initiate court action themselves however is there any action I can take at this point to contest the charge? I was never issued a Notice to Keeper letter and my first awareness of the fine was with the first letter DRP sent to me.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

    You are too late to contest the charge.

    Wait and see if you get a lbcca or Court correspondence

    If that should arrive today then come back for advice on how to defend this at that time

    Throughout here you are advised never to reveal who was driving

    You need to edit your post to remove details of who was driving
  • I was worried this is the case.

    Any idea how likely it is that they will respond?

    Is there any possibility of contacting the issuer directly with my concern that I was never issued a notice of the charge in the first place?

    YES YOU IGNORE DRP. POINTLESS LOW LIFE.
    They are scammers and nobody pays scammers.

    They said it " they will go back to the issuer" ... that's all
    DRP can do so you can see not to waste any more
    time with them

    Are you at any time a customer of Sainsburys ???
    If so, complain to the CEO of Sainsbury's to get this cancelled

    OK, no problem

    So, ignore the DRP rubbish and its now a waiting game
    to see what Horizon will do

    If they issue a court claim, simply come back here
    for all the help you need

    Get up to speed about Horizon. Their chosen legal is the
    highly incompetent Gladstones Solicitors

    http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=horizon

    And on the subject of Gladstones ... READ THIS
    http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2018/

    Tesco's use Horizon as well, so is this a money making scam
    by these two supermarkets a way to make money given what
    they lose to Aldi and Lidl ?????

    You could complain by email to Horizon that you got no NTK. Do a Google image search for a fairly recent Horizon NTK and look on the back view, for the email addy.

    This is nothing to worry about, but please don't use/abuse supermarket car parks when not a patron. We don't support rogue parking but we certainly will help you fight the PCN because the rip-off industry is worse. Learn your lesson, don't park like that again.

    But do not pay, try an email to Sainburys HO and to Horizon. Still do NOT pay if that effort fails.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
