Hi all. I've come to realise that there have been some changes to the "industry" recently. I've read loads of stuff on MSE, but there's so much information I'm not sure what (if anything) I should do next....

Apparently I'm not allowed to insert a link to this post - what's the best way of showing you guys the letter? I've uploaded it to flickr.

Can anyone help!?

Thanks in advance guys.

    Is it really a PENALTY charge notice you've received? If yes, get thee to Pepipoo - we focus here on PARKING charge notices.

    Thanks Pappa Golf...

    My PCN is from Total Parking Solutions Ltd, who are a BPA member. But I have now received a letter from the "solicitors" - Wright Hassall. Has it gone too far for me to appeal with Total Parking Solutions Ltd? Do I now need to deal with the solicitors?

    why did you get the ticket?

    what type of car park was it?

    ie: residential car park at my home with no permit, shopping centre and overstay/outside marked bay/left site/pay and display no ticket displayed?

    and so on, all have a breathing on what advice you will be offered and what your best course of action would be

    Hi Half_way

    It was a car park outside an NHS walk-in centre (PO3 6DW). It was night, and the driver - whoever that was ;) obviously didn't spot any signs because it was an emergency. Just looked on Google and it's a pay and display car park.

    Would it help if I shared the letter with you? I still can't attach images or links in my posts.

    I'm not sure if it is part of the NHS site - I can check.

    Yes, the driver was visiting the NHS site.

    You can upload redacted images to a web hosting site such as tinypic or photobucket, then post the URL here but change http to hxxp. Someone here will then change it back to a live link.

    What was the timeline of events please
    Date of alleged event? Was there a windscreen ticket?
    Date NTK received?

    My original letter from Total Parking Solutions Ltd is at home, so I'll check the date on that when I get home
