Parking Charge Notice After 28days

carparkera

Hi all,
I received 4 Parking Charge Notices initially on 25/01/2019 for parking at Westfield Stratford City.
each of £60.
Unfortunately, although I was still legally living at my registered address, I wasn't actually living there, but instead was staying with one of my friends to make commuting easier to my university.

I have now come back as we have broken up for holidays, to 4 letters now stating that I now owe £78 (extra £18 for administration) for each of the four parking tickets, each of the letters were dated at 26/02/2019.

Today, on arrival I received a final demand of £120 for each of the notices.

The notices were sent to the driver by S&K Car Park Management Ltd t/a Secure Parking.

And the £120 was demanded by Ultimate Customer Solutions- which I presume is a collections agency.

It has been well over 28 days to appeal the notice however, I haven't actually been able to do so as I wasn't around, but would definitely like to appeal it.

The sign said “Parking of unatuthorised vehicles is strictly prohibited CCTV in use”, and I was actually visiting someone inside the building.
Alongside this, I also asked memebers of staff if I could park there, in which they t replied that they themselves usually park there and that it should be fine.

I have seen that they have now put up a new sign, below the previous sign, in much bigger writing, which was not present before.

Any advice on what to do?

NOTHING TO DO , THE APPEAL WINDOW WAS MISSED AS YOU SAY , so what you WANT to do is irrelevant

so all you can do now is wait for up to 6 years and see if they take these unpaid invoices to court

meanwhile, read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread, third thread down from the top of this forum

the £120 was demanded by Ultimate Customer Solutions- which I presume is a collections agency.

Obviously ignore UCS, like the NEWBIES thread tells you in post #4.

You will need to email the parking firm a more permanent address though. You can't risk missing court papers later on (cases are defendable/winnable but only if you see and deal with the court papers in time).
