Hi,


I have two fines, I will explain each separately. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.


1) date of offence 23/03/18 - 3hrs 30 minutes in a car park that allows 3hrs free parking. I'll be honest, this is a car park next to a cinema, I did not realise the signs. I went to Asda first and thought it was a waste to drive 200yrds to cinema so I walked. Date PCN issued is 07/04/18 which is 15 days after event, I believe this plays in my favour but any advice would be appreciated. I'll be honest, I did ignore this initially (advised by friends) but as I have now received a second I thought I better sort it!


2) date of event 27/04/18 - not paying any fee whilst parked. On this occasion we did pay a fee at the machine but it did not issue a ticket. My partner rang customer services number on the parking sign explained what had happened and a gent gave her a reference number and told her he put a note on the system. I wrote all of the details (including reference) on a note and left it in my car window. I took photos of my car with the note and also the car park sign at the time I left the car.


I believe the first one I do not need to pay as although I am the registered keeper of the vehicle I was not the driver at the time and there is no evidence who was driving the vehicle. The second I think is a simple issue but reading a lot of information I now think nothing is a simple issue with these companies.


I'm putting this together with different threads I've read and any advice would be very much appreciated.
