Hello everyone.
I'm fairly sure this will be an old problem for you all.
Basically, i have received the classic £60 fine (£100 after 14 days) for over staying by about 40 mins. I'm reluctant to pay such an extortionate amount as this seems somewhat unreasonable--more loan shark than traffic warden!
Is there a process by which I need to adhere? I have not contacted the company 'SMART PARKING' as i'm fairly sure this would be utterly pointless given they'd be at liberty to bully me to act in their favour (also don't want to admit who was driving). I'm not unreasonable: i'm acutely aware I went over my paid time (i bought two hours worth but went over time for various reasons) but something about this doesn't seem fair to me. Oh, also because I've been away, the 14 days discount has expired, which made me laugh quite a lot.
Any advice is gratefully received as £100 is rather a lot of money to me.
