Hi All,
My first post so please go easy.
I have received the enclosed "Notice to Owner Final Reminder" from what would appear to be a private parking company.
I'm concerned as I didn't recieve a PCN on my vehicle on the date stated although my vehicle was parked within the car park. It was dark and wet when the driver returned to the vehicle and saw no parking ticket/clamp on car.
If I haven't received a ticket to begin with am I liable for this?
The Ticket says "Out of Designated Space", so i'm going to pop down and have a look tomorrow, is there anything I need to check? Where do I stand legally with not being provided with parking ticket in the first place/possibly kids removing the ticket if actually provided? Where do I stand if the bays are poorly marked?
I know there is CCTV cameras in the car park, so I'm going to check their locations and for signage to check compliance with the requirements of the Information Commissioner, where do I stand with viewing the CCTV from that day? I would of thought that they would provide some sort of photographic evidence, how do I go about getting this?
I'm not 100% sure the company are legitamate, however given that it is a train station car park I need to be sure of where I stand with all this.
I have the original ticket from the parking machine that bought on the day if needed.
I find it very strange that there are such long timescales between the alleged parking infringement and the notice arriving today. It's been that long that I have sold the car and bought a new one.
Is the sum of £120 valid for parking "Out of Designated Space"? I’m at pains to see how not parking in a bay could of cost them £120, It was parked in what appeared to be a space and was clearly “pay and displayed”
What are my chances of winning this or would I be better off bending over and getting stuffed for £120 for something I know nothing about? I know there are a whole heap of queries there and I'm sorry to be asking so many, I would like to resolve this a quickly as possible and move on.
Thanks for your time.
Steve
