I have just received a parking charge notice from smartparking ltd in relation to parking at an asda supermarket back in August. I was firstly surprised to receive this notice as I never received a parking ticket on the day. Therefore the first I knew of this supposed parking infringement was today when they sent me a demand for £70. I bought a valid ticket AND displayed it on the day - although smartparking claim my contravention was no valid ticket. I arrived at asda at about 2.30pm, paid the £1 for the 2 hr parking and received the £1 refund back from asda when I completed the checkout at 4.15pm. The supposed contravention of not having a valid ticket was timed at 3.40pm,
I spoke with smartparking today who informed me that a ticket was issued on the day. I also checked the pcn online and discover the photographic evidence they had attached was of the ground and the end of someone's boot?!?
Obviously I have gone down the route of appeal stating the fa ct that a ticket was not received on the day, a valid ticket was purchased and displayed and subsequently refunded by asda on the day ( having luckily still kept the till receipt confirming this)
Where can I go from here?
I look forward to some advice.
Thanks
