A very late parking fine query.
Hi There
Have just joined site, hoping for guidance.
I am a 75 year old grandad, and last year (3/1/15) my grandson started going to a play centre in Birkdale, Southport.
The first time he went, the driver parked their car in the car park at rear of play centre, entered centre, booked in, and stayed for an hour with my grandson. To their surprise, on leaving, they found a parking ticket on screen, so went back to centre to query it, and was told, they should have entered the car reg into desk computer. They was not aware this needed doing until assistance told them, and on inspection, there were notices in car park, but lady told them to ignore it, as a paying customer, and there was proof of the visit, as you have to book in child's name.
She said that it happened a lot, and to make sure they entered reg each time they went afterwards.
The driver thought that was that and kept going, until some months ago, when they went and found, the playgroup business had gone bust, and was naturally closed.
Lo and behold, in today's post, the keeper received a parking fine of £140, offence date being 03/01/2015, and when they rang tel number on letter, it was a number that is used to pay fines, nobody to speak to, and it said a further £40 was to be added.
Letter was sent from CIVIL ENFORCEMENT LTD and name of sender is Mr Michael Schwartz
I can scan and send letter if needed.
