I was issued with a parking fine for the 19th May while parking at Luton Station Multistory Car Park. I paid for parking using the app. The company who run (don’t know if they own the car park) are Saba. But the company who I have received the fine are a debt collection company called ZZPS
The issue is when I typed in my reg plate on the app instead of typing SD68 I typed SS68. Simple error as the S and D are so close together.
Anyhow I got the fine on the 5th July. But they state that they sent a previous letter, which I didn’t get. I emailed ZZPS to explain the situation and sent evidence of the payment I made on the app.
They are having none of it. And they stated that I was outside of the 28 days to appeal. Well that would be the case had I got a previous correspondence.
They also stated that I could pay the fine over three months at £60,£60 and £50. But I have replied that I refuse to pay as I have already paid, granted there was a slight error on the input on the app. But I have checked with the DVLA and there isn’t a car registered with the reg plate I put on the app.
What advice would anyone give going forward. I want to fight this but don’t know what my chances are and at what cost in the end. Or should I just pay the fine? Also does anyone know any history of ZZPS and how many cases they have lost in court?
Any advice would be so helpful.
Just an update:
Received an email back from ZZPS and it reads:
Good morning
Once this case is referred to a firm of solicitors they will be in contact with you.
Regards
So it looks like its getting serious.
But like i said earlier why should i bow to this fine as i have paid already. Granted it was an error on my part but by 1 letter.
Any further advice would be appreciated.
