No stopping Parking Charge at Airport

    My partner was travelling back late from London on the train. We had planned to meet down the road at the McDonalds.
    She then called to tell me she had been approached on the train by a main that showed her a naked photo of himself on his phone (in her face so she could not look away). He then proceeded to ask her in appropriate questions. She ran from the train and wanted to get to safety as soon as possible worried that he may have followed her off the train. For this reason (an emergency) I did pull up directly outside the station to collect her.
    Once again this WAS an EMERGENCY.
    This is the first and last time I have collected her from this area and not away from the station.
    I feel that as this was an emergency and not a collection or drop off at the airport and not a regular occurrence this was justified and should not be subject to a fine. It was a safety issue.
    Please uphold this appeal. When dealing directly with the parking fine issuer they ignore the reason behind the very brief stop and just reiterated that they have CCTV footage and that their are signs. At no point have we disputed this but it was an emergency, very late at night.
    Many Thanks.

    Was it from a debt collector?  If so, refer to NEWBIE sticky fourth post about IGNORING (better written as "Take no Action) debt collectors.  If it was anything else, letter of claim for example, action needs to be taken see NEWBIE sticky 2nd post.

    Pretty sure it was just from the debt collector, which I believe is the same company anyway. I'll have a look in a bit. Thanks.

    I would like to be a fly on the wall if they are daft enough to take this to court.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

  • Yep, so now  you know its VCS you know exactly what they can do, and where this path may go
    You must read the Newbies thread so IF you get a court claim you dont panic, miss deadlines, file the wrong docs etc.
