Given a parking ticket that had time left on it but now have been fined by a private comapny

its a private company so whoever took that photo is probably their parking chimp, on a commission, so the mobile camera is that persons camera , their C.E.O.

basically , a private CEO took the picture and reported the vehicle for not purchasing the £1 ticket, possibly they saw the handover of the ticket he obtained from the "good samaritan that wasnt" , I suspect that the ticket stated it was "not transferable" or similar ?

Their car parks are cheap but woe betide anyone not paying the £1 or whatever the cost is

NAPIER then paid the DVLA £2.50p for the keeper data and sent that person (your father ?) the NTK demanding payment of £50 for early payment

most of this has no relevance to the issue at hand , its merely working out the sequence of events that led to your elderly father receiving the INVOICE from Napier. it is receipt of this invoice that is his current legal problem, not necessarily how he got it

in my opinion, if he decides NOT TO PAY, then he and nobody else but he , faces up to 6 years of harassment and debt collector letters, followed by solicitor letters from B W LEGAL or similar

then , within that 6 years , if Napier or their solicitors issues an MCOL then he faces a civil court case which he will have to defend in his local county court (and in my opinion, will lose based on the info you have provided)

the question is, can an 83 year old carer really deal with this and is he prepared to go to his local county court and persuade a judge that he is not liable for the charge ?

if he fails and loses, he faces a bill of about £170 including court fees , to be paid within one month of the CCJ being issued , or if he fails to pay then Napier could push it to enforcement using court bailiffs, with added costs

these are the real issues, the "what happened on the day" are merely the explanations that lead us to this current legal wrangle which is where he is right now

I would say the £50 should be paid and that is the end of the matter, which is a harsh lesson for him to learn, but may prevent a repeat (ie:- you pay the £1 upfront fee to avoid having to pay £50 or even £90, or even £170 , LATER)

he should also be made aware that these companies infest supermarkets, doctors surgeries , retail parks , leisure centres and hospitals etc, so to be very , VERY careful in future

it is his choice if he has the **** to front it out, or cut and run and pay the least amount of money which he can at the moment

Ok Redx thanks for your help. It's a sad reflection of our world, let's hope the bosses enjoy the money gained from a scam allowed by our government.lts certainly opened my eyes, all of this. The only good thing to come out of this is that there are people willing to help,like all those who have replied on here. The world isn't full of cheaters and scammers, only in car parks!!

I don't think government fully understands the scam although
with the new bill going through, there are MP's who do
understand. Right now, government is too busy busy
screwing up brexit

You have PM'd me. I hope you follow my advice and post
here what has happened
