Parking Fine after car was seized by police

todayistheday2018

My car was seized by the police and as I didn't collect it was told it would be crushed. I have received a parking charge by Athena Parking in a supermarket and even though I have sent them the paperwork saying my car had been seized and I had not collected they say I am still liable. Surely the police and recovery company would be liable for this as after the car was seized the car was no longer mine?

The car wasnt in your possession, you still owned the vehicle until it was crushed.
I presume this was AFTER the parking date?
Why was it parked? Who parked it? If you left it there, then why is it not your responsibility?

The car was seized and I had 14 days to pay the removal costs and storage charges or it would I was told be crushed... I didn't collect it and thought no more of it... 2 months later get a parking fine

OK, didnt actually answer the really easy quesiton I asked

who parked the car? You or someone else? Was the car in your possession at the time or had it already been removed?

Someone else parked the car after the day it was seized in May I never saw it again... this is a fine and a photo 2 months later

Was the date of the parking ticket before or after the vehicle was seized?

obviously it will be after , it cant be before

was the TICKET (time/date) ISSUED before of after the time the car was siezed

visions of the MET doing "fly parking" , like parking co,s do at airports , going thru my head

the car should have been removed from the public road IMMEDIATLY after it was siezed

ticket was issued after the car was seized

and yes I was told by the police if it wasnt collected in 14 days would be crushed but not the case it seems and also the car was MOT'd by someone after it was seized
