Court letter issued
Would appreciate some advice here - Back in March i parked in a car park, used the MiPermit app to pay for parking and took the kids to the pier for a couple hours. Back well within time of ticket.
When I received the fine I sent the receipt over as proof of payment only to get back a rejection saying I had paid for the wrong car park. And that particular car park wasn't on the MiPermit list. I countered that I would pay the original ticket amount then as it was a genuine mistake and they refused saying I owed double the fine now.
I left because, well.. life. And now I have a court letter and they want over £200 which i can't afford. Do I have a case for unfair charges? It was a parking eye car park apparently. But I've parked there before and always use the app so I obviously didn't read the sign to see it had changed hands.

When you say court letter what exactly do you mean?. I'd suggest posting a copy with all personal details redacted as I suspect it is just the usual begging/threatening letter that these companies send out.
Oh and it isn't a fine it's a speculative invoice.

As above, post a redacted picture of the letter, but redact your name and address, reference number, password and the VRM details first, leaving the other details and all dates on show

have a court letter
Is it a letter before/of claim or is it a N1SDT claim form?

Easy to defend!
Is it a Claim Form like all the others you saw when you read a few threads before posting? You know what we need to see if you've read some Claim threads.

Apologies I should have uploaded that with my first comment. I've done the acknowledgement on money claim. Just need to file the defence now. I offered to pay the ticket price as was a genuine mistake but I'm not paying the 100 quid charge that went with it..
