Wrong reference number attached for PCN

16 Posts

Hi Everyone
I received a parking ticket at Star city from compony called total car park management for parking -At that time I was contemplating whether to pay or appeal When I entered the reference number on the website it said the PCN has been cancelled therefore there was no option to pay- roughly more than one month later I received a letter from them stating I require to pay - which I was baffled as not sure why they sending me when they cancelled the PCN themselves. I went back to the original PCN received in the windshield and again the same message came when I went on their website. I then received letter from debt recovery plus which I initially ignored as thought it was a mistake but now they became more threatening with court action. I went back to total car park management and asked if you can take the PCN back from debt collectors as you cancelled the PCN and showed them the proof. They came back saying they have done a duplicate pcn and my reference number to pay is different than the one originally received in the windshield. They then sent me proof of pictures and requested myself to continue dealing debt collectors as they believed I should have went to them sooner. I explained that there was no way to pay as it was different reference number and they now asking myself to pay £100 instead of the original £60 and on top of that I lost my chance of appeal as well
I am very confused what to do with this matter as total car management LTD are not being reasonable

I have taken a screenshot with the reference number and it says PCN has been cancelled and have sent messages to total car park management ltd sent via email of them admitting that there were two reference number under my name one was cancelled and I still have the original PCN which was left on my windshield with the wrong reference number - apparently speaking to them today the letter has the PCN number which is active but I only found out today as I will need to relocate the letter

The screenshot does not have a date but it does show PCN has been cancelled however the recent emails to the compony agree that there were 2 pcn issued to myself and one had been cancelled (the one received in the windshield) . I did mention that it took away my right of an appeal but they are not having any of it and are going lone
The only aspect that I do not have in writing is when I contacted total car park management recently and they offered that I can pay £100 and not go with the debt collector
Would it be worth writing to my MP regarding this?
That's not two PCNs. So what do you mean?

You are correct and that is what I argued with the compony but they were not being reasonable
I got letter from small claims court - asking for more than £250 - can someone guide me how I can defend this please
Thanks
