Horizon Parking Charge

Hello everyone.

My mum was recently invited to a party at a hotel where she parked her car, at this hotel you need to register your car registration to avoid a parking charge but she never knew this. I'm not sure about signage but I'm guessing there wasn't anything clear.

Anyway we received a parking charge from Horizon and I'm not really sure if we can successfully appeal.

One thing to note is that I believe DVLA have the wrong spelling of my mum's name, and therefore the letter we received has the wrong spelling of her name too.

I appreciate any advice/help in advance.

    She should fix her name on the V5c log book with the DVLA 

    Then plan A in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum by coupon mad,  a complaint to the hotel and get the hotel to cancel the pcn ASAP 

    Registering a vehicle is common practice these days,  especially at hotels, clubs, pubs, restaurants etc

    She just gets the hotel to cancel it.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
