Jane123 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I have been sent a charge notice from High View Parking. The notice has two photos of my car, one entering and one leaving the car park. It states that I was parked for 1 hr 20 mins, which, after checking, I found is within the stated time limit of 1 hr 30 mins. I emailed the company and they say my car was parked in the wrong area and that is why they have sent the charge notice. I requested a photograph to prove that it was parked incorrectly, but their email says the matter is closed and to appeal to POPLA. I have since received another notice saying legal action pending - cough up £125!!! I have spoken to others who have received charge notices for parking in the wrong place and theirs had a photo of the car and where it was parked - my notice doesn't have this As they have not sent me anything credible, do you think I am safe to ignore this?

geared Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yep you need to make an appeal to POPLA, plenty of guides online. Obviously it go's without saying but don't admit to parking in the wrong place or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yep you need to make an appeal to POPLA, plenty of guides online. . with a note saying that as it's their mistake, for any future effort on this you intend to charge them at £x/hour + expenses (postage etc), where £x is what you might reasonably earn in your job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnailyBoy Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 So the original 'charge' was based on the length of time. Then when challenged they said it was the location? This should be an easy one for POPLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
