Hospital parking charge

Hello all,
I am a member of staff at an NHS hospital where the parking is managed by gemini solutions. As I work part time I use a scratch card system to pay for parking. A couple of mo ths ago I arrived late for work and forgot to put my scratch card in the window. I received a parking ticket but stupidly forgot to appeal it and have now received a letter from a debt recovery service asking for £150. I feel like I may just need to write it off as a mistake and pay it but thought I'd ask here first in case anyone has any solutions. Thanks.

I would still appeal it on the grounds of unfair cost, ask to see the land owners contract and maybe scrutinise the sign or charge notice.0

I was told that as it has now been passed on to debt collectors I am no lo ger entitled to appeal. Is this true?0

When and if they issue court papers if you have left it too long for the appeals process.0

Ask a board guide to move this to the Parking forum. In the meantime, read the NEWBIES FAQ in the parking forum.0

Sorry how do I do that?0

Go to the Motoring forum thread listing. Somewhere on the page you should be able to see Board Guides - the names are listed nearby. Click one of the names and then select to send a Private Message - include the link to this thread in your message.0

Can I just add, I find it absolutely awful NHS staff have to pay for parking - it's just wrong IMO0

Me too, but it's a cost we reluctantly accept in order to prevent essential services suffering from cuts.
At least at our place patients don't have to pay as well.0 -

Why? Everybody else has to.Life isn't about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Like choking....0 -

Op does need to repost on parking forum and or Pepipoo.
Not sure I agree with staff not having to pay though. Should that apply to all workers in any employment?0
