Hi All
Looking for some advice specific to my case.
I have this morning been issued with the letter as shown in image 1 regarding a parking charge from 22/09/2018 between the hours of 23:18 and 23:40.
I do not dispute entering and leaving the site at this date and times yet dispute the term "Parking". I was positioned adjacent to the back gates of a business at which I had been providing entertainment for the evening and was unloading into my vehicle (not using any parking bays)..
I am also the named Licensee for the premises (a cafe/bar) although I am not the owner. I am aware a free parking pass can be applied for by the business owners but I have not looked into this at all as my visits there are very infrequent and I source alternative parking only using the area for loading/unloading.
I had unloaded into the premises earlier in the evening but must have done this in a time allowable to be within the car park without payment.
The car park itself is a pay by phone car park and I have read with interest a recent successful case in which the claim was dismissed due to it being prohibition rather than a contract. I do not currently have a picture of signage but will look to get this if it helps with advice.
I would be very grateful for any information or help as I did not believe the situation would get this far.
Many Thanks
