Mr Anon needs help with parking situation

Jammyjammydodger

Hi , Mr Anon needs help for this :

Story:

*Mr Anon *, went to a hotel and stayed the night , it had a separate company doing private parking: * company P*

Mr Anon arrived early afternoon, payed for parking stayed the night and left the following morning around mid day:

3 months later gets a PCN in the post,  quickly looks at it and thinks , no I’ve payed for that , and it magically disappears , little after gets another and it magically disappears again , now he has received a DCB claiming he owes £170 , he knows he doesn’t have to do anything with this , 

but he looks at  the parking he payed for and notices he accidentally only payed for parking up to midnight of the afternoon he arrived and not the following midnight , so he overstayed  around 11 hours .

He checks the pcn reference number on the sheet from DCB , and it only contains 12 characters not the 13 needed to check on the UKPC

What should *Mr Anon* do next as he wants to get ahead of the curve before a LBC comes from DCB-legal 

Should he try and contact * company P*  and see about the accident and error? or just wait ?

Mr anon should ignore debt collectors letters from DCB LTD

Mr Anon should contact the hotel and ask for the pcn to be cancelled , plan A

Complain to the hotel. 

Await a DCB Legal LBC - come back on this thread if that happens (and read the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, second post, about how to respond to a LBC. 

Inform the PPC if you change your address in the next 6 years.

Indeed, complain to the Hotel, surely they must have known that you were staying the night,  If they are unhelpful threaten them with bad reviews on Trip Adviser, booking.com et al.

Update!!!

Mr Anon has emailed the hotel and a team leader has replied back , saying that they have cancelled the ticket for him . 

Mr Anon has contacted back thanking the team Leader and also stating , if there is any additional evidence or documentation of the cancellation he should be able to obtain and keep as record

Update 2 

team leader of the hotel has replied back to Mr Anon

Sending a picture of evidence of the PCN number and reg number , issue date  and status being ‘cancelled’ for this 

Mr Anon would like to thank everyone who has helped and replied to his story

If Mr Anon wanted to hide UKPC's name and call them company P he should be more diligent, though it doesn't make any sense!

But well done plan A does the job again!

Plan A succeeds yet again   !  Simples

Nicely done! That didn't take long. This is why 'complain to the landowner' is always Plan A.
