I am seeking advice...
5 Weeks ago I went on Holiday for a week. I booked a meet and greet parking company (£80) to collect my car and return it to me when I arrived back 7 days later. When the company returned my car it had a puncture and they literally dumped my car in the wrong area of Heathrow airport where I occured a parking fine of £25.00. The guys were very hostile and subsequently, I decided to just change the tyre, pay the parking fine and put the whole thing down to a bad experience. (I didn't want anything else to do with them). 5 weeks later, I received 6 individual PCN parking tickets for my car which was parked in a permit area without a permit. In a nutshell, the company drove my car out of the airport, went to a parking permit residential area, and left my car there for a week. Completely unaware, I now have £660 fine from Hillingdon Borough Council. I have submitted evidence to say I had paid and used a meet and greet company, that I was out of the country, and was not the owner of the vehicle at the time so am not liable. I provided contact details of the individual and company who were responsible for my car (Enigma Pasrking Services) and that they should incur the charges. Hillingdon Borough council have stated that because the company have not paid the fine, the liability goes back to the registered owner. I am now at a crossroad, do I appeal again, stating the facts, it will go to an impartial adjudicator, if I lose, my fine doubles, or, do I just pay the fine and move on? I have a police crime report number, I have contacted citizens' advice and registered the incident with companies house but since then, the company has filed for liquidation/administration having only operated for 6 months. There is no way they will pay the fine. Instead, they will likely set up another company in a few months with a new director and do the same again to someone else. My argument is that if the company in question had obtained a speeding fine, or ran someone over, I would not be liable as I was not the driver and out of the country, yet for these parking tickets, I am? Any advice would be much appreciated as I don't have £600+ and I think it is unfair and wrong that innocent people full victims of this. If you think I should pay, learn from the mistake and move on then so be it, however, if you feel I have a case or an argument, then I would welcome your honest suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to read my issue. JLC |

The four PCNs that are referenced in the draft appeal above appear to have been paid. A pity. If there is a NoR an appeal can still be filed. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php
